Warning: Here I Go Again {venturing into dangerous territory}

Sigh...I looked out the window and saw restraint waving at me from across the street. I just couldn't control myself, again, after strolling through the beautiful portfolio of photographer Ruy

Teixeira. Aren't these just captivating? And the variety is what really captured my attention. Each home and space is, I'm certain, as unique as its inhabitants. Which one would you most love to occupy?

Good thing we're rolling into the weekend because I fear I could sit here all day and get lost in these images. Speaking of weekends...a happy one to you all. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!

I can't even wrap my mind around this fact. But he's four, really and truly, FOUR! Happy Birthday sweet, sweet (little) big boy. Your beaming smile, joyful disposition, and constant chatter light up our lives. We love you J and yes, today is finally your "BOW-TAY!"
