The Girls Want A Fairy Room.
Due to the recent Tinkerbell saturated toy market, my two girls are obsessed with fairies. They want a fairy themed room. Which at first i wasn't crazy about, I hate Disney themed rooms. So I made them on offer of an Enchanted Forest room that included fairies. Its a hit! I painted the room a lilac color, which looked great with there little rose garden bed sheets and blankets. I found all kinds of rose prints, and some vintage fairy prints, like the one above. I also scored two adorable elf/fairy porcelain dolls at TJ Maxx along with a hydrengea May Day basket I filled with roses. Its coming along quite nicely. I am wrapping some larger bulb twinkle lights in purple tulle for along the ceiling, and I found some great purple rose wall appliques I will be dealing with today. The result..and enchanted forest room the kids love, and I can live with!

The joys of Vinegar!
Well, being pregnant makes a woman wacko. Wacko enough to crave the smell of vinegar! So, I have been using plain old white vinegar to clean everything! Counters, sinks, floors windows..you name it, I've cleaned it with vinegar this week! It makes my floors so incredibly shiny! I also discovered adding it to my was to brighten colors..it works!

Muffins
I have a new muffin obsession. I think the family is getting a little weirded out by all the muffins I am making...but..they are delicious! My favorites so far are the Lemon Apple I made. I found I also like them better made with soy milk rather than cows milk..makes them a little fluffier, and my lactose intolerant toddler can eat them that way too!
