It’s monday…again…it snuck up so fast!!  I hope you have had a lovely week and weekend {since I’ve been a bit MIA}.  What a whirlwind these last few weeks have been.  Thank you so much for all your sweet words about our new adventure!  I promise to pass on some new house pics soon {still working my way out of the piles o’ boxes!}  I hope this week is a happy one for you, full of peace and joy.

Happy Monday to you!  Remember how I told you things have been a bit crazy but good around here lately…well…the reason is…

We’ve Moved!!  Oh what a journey we’ve been on the last several months {more on that to come}.  For now I will tell you, as I stare at piles of boxes and bare walls and windows that we are so incredibly happy and blessed to finally be here.  So be prepared for lots of house updates, design inspiration and DIYing details as we turn this new house into a home.  Thank you for bearing with me between posts and know that your sweet words have meant so much!

“May you have warm words on a cool evening,
a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door.”

Have a fabulous week!

Happy Monday to you!  I apologize for being a bit M-I-A lately but there are ALOT of fun things happening over here at HSE!!  This week is another crazy one, but soon we will back to business and postings as usual.  For now just know fabulous things are coming your way soon and enjoy your week!

and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.”

Birthday’s and dinners and cookies, OH MY!  We had a full weekend celebrating the boy’s birthday {and a little residual celebrating of my birthday too!}  We are so blessed with sweet and wonderful family & friends.  And to top it all off, we currently have three extra little snuggly fur-babies running around our house!  The craziness continues!!  A weekend overflowing with with love and joy for sure.

“If you want to be happy, be.”

Joy!

This week I choose to focus on the path in front of me; to embrace the journeys that lie ahead.  I attempt to shake free from things in the past that linger on my brain and not let them effect how I face the future.  There are times in life that this is much easier said than done, when things that you don’t even realize have stayed with you seem to still take hold.  So this week focus on letting go.  Letting go of things weighing on your mind, of things that are in the past and of things that we cannot change.  Look forward to what life has in store for you and reach out and grab it!

“Inhale the future, exhale the past”

Happy b-e-a-utiful monday to you all.  We are finally getting a taste of real spring weather here in Atlanta.  This weekend was sunny, warm and just plain lovely!  I celebrated the big 3-2 this weekend and was reminded just how many wonderful blessings I have in my life!!  I’m one lucky gal…I’ll tell you that!!  So HUGE thank you for all the birthday wishes and sweet words from everyone.  No question that this weekend I truly experienced joy.

“To notice your joys instead of minimizing or discounting them is to become joyous.  Notice joy, nourish joy, consciously take advantage
of your opportunities to experience joy.”

Happy Monday!  I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend and were able to share it with the people you love!  Remember in all things to choose love!!

Happy Happy Monday to ya!  Hope you are staying warm…its COLD here in Georgia!!  Despite some crazy weather we had a lovely weekend, relaxing, catching up with great friends and spending time with family.  Its been a busy year so far and I have a feeling nothing is going to slow down anytime soon, so instead I’ll just choose to enjoy the roller coaster.  I hope you enjoyed your weekend and have a full and happy week in front of you.

they just make the best of everything.”

I hope this monday finds you well.  Its hard to believe it’s well into March already!!  There are times in life that we feel unsure of the path that lays ahead of us.  Times when we question the direction we see our lives going.  I have experienced this at various times thru out my life, but when I look back at the events that followed these moments of uncertainty I realize that I have always ended up exactly where I was meant to be.  The universe controls the bigger plan that  is our lives; our role in this plan is to appreciate each moment and to do our best to stay true to ourselves and to the journey in front of us.  All of that to say I hope you feel confident in the fabulous unknown that lies ahead of you and know that there are truly no mistakes.  Learn from each moment and have faith that in the end we are exactly where we were meant to be.

but I think I’ve ended up where I needed to be.”
