Life Lately
I just want to take a minute to thank y'all for your continued support and encouragement. We've had a few little set-backs this week followed by one giant leap forward.
There is still no official word on the house we want. The couple who owns the home is getting divorced so its a court forced sale. One of the attorneys involved died the day after we submitted an offer. Because we put in several contingencies we have to wait for the courts and not the attorneys or home owners to produce an official acceptance or counter. Seriously? In the meantime, we've been house hunting with little success.
Tagg had an unexpected allergic reaction to strawberries on Monday resulting in hives and blistering and ending in a guarantee that I will never again leave the house without benedryl. Not exactly what you want to see in your rear view mirror while sitting in traffic. We're going back to the allergist for further testing in a few weeks. I don't want any more surprises.
But all of that is just small fries because TAGG PULLED HIMSELF UP. Several times now. He started off sitting on the floor or in his crib and ended up STANDING. All by himself. Granted, he has to use something like the edge of his crib or a chair or an ottoman to hoist his little body and steady himself. But still. This is huge. This was a very specific milestone that we've been specifically praying for. Meeting this milestone has been months in the making and is such a huge step for him. Celebrations are in order!
Thank you all for keeping it real on here with me along with all the fun stuff like leopard flats and slip-covered sofas. This life of mine is real and that's what it's all about.

Please tell me your in love with Bailey's home renovation as much as me. I die over her masculine bathroom and kitchen island.
And how pretty is my friend Chassity's breakfast nook? That banquette table setting is bananas..
I'm in totally in LOVE with my girl Gaby's Valentine's tutorials.
I'm definitely going to try out Camille's Beachy Waves Tutorial this weekend. The last step where you re-curl the crown might just be the thing I've been missing.
And thanks to Bryn for pinning an awesome alternative to the typical ikea expedit for toy storage?
