Lavender and Laughter

Life is too short to drink tea out of a plastic cup....I created this blog to pour the lavender and laughter of my life into yours.

I am complicated and I am a Marshwiggle (like Puddleglum from Lewis' The Silver Chair). Personality tests don't work on me. I yearn to see Jesus face to face, and to see the love in His eyes. I am learning to walk on water and to be a new person in Christ. I am in love with my husband and baby, and I love the smell of coffee and lavender mixed together.

Spring Flings

I'm having so much fun this week! Along with the shocks (like...no twins) come all kinds of new ideas and fun projects....I'm thinking about my house and my baby room of course. And I put this cheery vintage red, blue, and yellow tablecloth on my kitchen table where I have been drinking ice tea and reading and writing (I'm not supposed to be leaning back anymore, to make sure the baby turns). I finally gave in and bought some Haeger planters that I've had my eye on for a year...and I repotted some plants and made banana bread last night. Mom and Grandma came for lunch yesterday...and even though it was spontaneous...it was fun; I came up with ice tea, toasted egg salad sandwiches, tomatoes slices, and carrots: not too bad if I do say so myself!

I've decided to stick with my 2 vintage wooden folding chairs for the kitchen, and will try to find two more! I've also decided to stick with light blue in the baby room...but with a tree theme and forest animals...not so many girly bunnies :) Jenny gave me this amazing tree print that she made (a process she learned of dipping a metal sheet in acid and scratching a picture into it...then dipping it in ink and rolling it onto paper like a press).

Luke and I had a couple over last night for fun, and played poker...which I hopelessly lost, although technically I won at the end (only because Luke got me to put everything in and then no one had any good cards!) Anyway, I seem to have a lot of time on my hands right now, and am wanting sooooo bad to do all my shopping for my baby and my new house...but I'll try to not go overboard until I actually have a house to put it all in!
