50 under 50




Here are a few gift ideas that I wouldn't mind receiving myself. They are all under $50. The coasters and first address labels are from IOMoi. The second address labels are from Boatman Gellar. Ofcourse the boat coaster would be personalized with the name of our new boat, Aeolus. My parents are visitting for a couple days to help me out. I just had minor surgery, but can't lift anything heavier then a gallon of milk for 4 weeks...I have two toddlers???? Anyway, we are taking them to see the new boat tomorrow! It is so exciting!

Boats



This boat in the water is our Sirena, we, by we I mean McDada, has been working like mad all summer to fix her up. I think the deck was finished, but the interior still needs much work! The other boat is our boat to be,(fingers crossed for luck). This is the boat we will live aboard while cruising for a year! We would take the next two years to fix her up and outfit her for cruising. And in those two years, our kids would learn to swim, and I will learn to sail!!! And overcome my shark-phobia! It is all very exciting!!!
We are off to the playground now with friends! Have a great day!

A Modern Twist on an Old Classic!

This is the coolest thing ever! Check it out. http://www.atelier-rbernier.fr/coll_silhouette.shtml It has given me a great decorating idea for my livingroom! We have needed just the right thing for the wall above the couch. There is a thermastat in an awkward spot, that has made the placement of artwork challenging. But we could just paint over it! By this I mean, paint the family in silouette, our family!!!! So cool!!!!!
