A LITTLE INSPO DATES

I love letting the girls decorate their space. This art wall will be every changing with 5 and 10 year old art. 

Can't wait to put some roman shades up and the swing arm lamps. My little book worm will just love that for her late night reads.

Heffe is the best and is helping me give Sofia and Rubi a makeover.

The new room will have a "coastal chic" feel as Sofia put it. So we had to visit Bliss in CDM for inspo. These plants are so welcoming, I just love it!

This little linen and nailhead table would be the easiest DIY. We may do a similar version for a piano table.

She was in serious covet mode here. This girl loves a cozy bed and loves to snuggle me although she is going on 13. 

 These tables and floors...

 There will be a touch of gold so we love the pillows and blue with the fabric headboard. 

 Sofia took this for Bella. Our little Bells goes crazy over crystals and books. And we just gave her some bookshelves what better way then to display them together. 

 And off to Anthro. with another daughter.

 This little fox hook, to cute. All I can think of is that song, "What the fox say, neneneneneneee…"

 I spelled out READ for Bella for her shelves. At $20 a book we'll have to save up or make our own.

 This rug at Z galore was on sale for $200. It was super soft and pretty big. 

 And a date night to end our window shopping night. So fun hanging with my girls individually. 

COUNT DOWN TILL SUMMER

 We all love the Cimerelli girls in this house. Rad Kristen, who has a very successful blog took all of us. Besides that, Sofia was blessed to see Taylor Swift but the most exciting concert yet was 1D. Yes, all her dreams came true.

Some cowboy boogie at the Ranch while celebrating Hali. Best part, Jeff and I two steppin'.

 Another, yet never tiring camping trip to San Elijo. This time with friends from Rock Harbor. Good families, good friends and always a good time.

 Lots of bridge jumping. I even became "cool mom" for jumping off the bigger bridge. 

 My lil' nerd

Always love being able to go to the Harvest Crusade. The girls always get excited for dinner after at Portillas but its amazing to witness people who turn their life over! 

 For years now the girls get to be in the Childrens Festival fashion show. They LOVE getting styled or picking out whatever in the store. 

 Never thought I would be such a soccer mom, and I kinda love it! Every Sat. we are either on the field watching 3 games or at the pool for H2o polo. Grateful heart!

DUNE DAYS

 The Dune days are at the top of the list for summer fun as they are now a tradition with the Benson family. 

 Paddling or bike riding ALL DAY LONG. 

 My family does it right. Super fun toys, orders a taco cart, loads of sweets, fun drinks and good people.

Sweet to see our kids on this tree as I remember climbing them with my brother.

Until next August!

PALM SPRINGS

 Our friends have a time share at Shadow Ridge so we were lucky enough to use there pool which is more like a little water park with a small alligator that was swimming with us, gross!  

 Practically no rules on this slide made the lines so fast. The girls and I went down all together and belly laughed as we tumbled in the water together. I loved this day!

 Sunshine girl! She is a dream child full of grace and love. I love how Bella wants to adopt a child, home school her kids and own an orphanage. We'll see how this turns out but so thankful for her.

 Only ones at the Ace on a Tuesday night made the front desk girls freaked out over team Rice. They gave them special treats and behind the scene privileges.

 Missing Heffe and Sofia here because of water polo commitments. 

LOVED our time away!
