Weekend Away

This past weekend I headed off to Bloomington, IL (home of Patty Young!) for some much needed time with girlfriends and a Hearts at Home conference. The conference's theme this year was Real Moms, Real Lives, Real Stories - I left with my "batteries recharged" and some great tips for running a more organized and happy home.

I've been missing around here lately because my dining room redo has turned into an even bigger project than I had planned! This Thursday morning it will be photographed for the local magazine - ahhhh! Exciting, but more pressure than I had planned on putting on myself. However, I must say that I'm loving how it is turning out and the motivation to have it done by a specific date! I'll be sure to be posting final "after" photos since it will be finished in a couple of days!
