the road not taken...

Back in my freshman college days I was on the direct path to work in the medical world.  I was knee deep in biology books but needed more hours to keep my scholarship.  I needed a filler class and found myself in an interior design class with all junior/senior students who were all majoring in design of some sort.  Needless, to say my direct path forked into two and I stood in the middle...... for a while.  While studying abroad for a summer, I interned at QVC UK with the set designer and found myself touring the not-so-touristy places with a several quid in my pocket and list things to buy for a set.  What an amazing experience to say the least.  

Back in the US I realized, "if you want to starve, you will be a designer...." {thanks for advice dad!}.  Luckily, I knew immediately as I met with a nursing director that nursing was a perfect fit.  I love my job, however, some days I can't help but to dream about going to a beautiful office like the photo above to work on making someone's house their favorite space.  

This is an office of a designer based out of Atlanta.

Goodnight Moon the Play...

Today we took Ethan to see Goodnight Moon at the Nashville Children's Theatre with his cousins.  It was the very first book I read to Ethan and I was thrilled to take him to see the play.  This was his very first play and I was nervous how well a 21 month old little boy would handle sitting for a period of time.  He did great!  He sat the most still I have ever seen him be while awake and only moved to clap or sway when music came on or to hold Maddie Mae's hand.  It would recommend anyone with small children to check it out if you live in the area.

the show is about to start...taking our seats

Ethan ran back in after the show was over.  He loved it!

3 little men....

clean day....

Cleaning....it is something we all have to do.  I recently tried Mrs. Meyer's cleaning products and fell in love.  First of all, they smell so good, they actually make you want to use them!  I just wish I had found them sooner so I thought I'd share my good find with you.  I bought mine from soap.com and love how they magically arrive at my door without having to bundle my little man up in his winter gear for trip #3 to target for the week.  I must say their candles are amazing too.  Spring cleaning may actually smell like a flower this year.

wishful thinking...

Today I am at work wishing I were home drinking this tea and reading on my ipad.  Instead in my oh-so fashionable danskos {although I love them dearly}.  Sigh....   maybe tomorrow.
