Bye bye Christmas blog, hello new and improved blog. But I need a new title. In the past 2 years, this blog has morphed into less of a kid update and more of a Meg thing. I still talk a lot about the kids, because let’s face it…a lot of my life is the kids. But the whole reason I started this was to keep the grandparents and friends up to date. But now it’s an outlet, my journal, a way to keep in touch with friends and family, and it’s just mine. I feel like I have outgrown Tales from the Crib. But I can’t think of a good title yet…I know inspiration will come. Or maybe one of you have an idea?

And I have to give a shout out to Cindi and her photography business, Selah Studios. She took the pic of us in the banner. I love all of the pictures she took for us! In fact, if you want to see them all, you can check it out here. and here. And if you are in the DFW area and need some pictures taken, give her a call! She is great!

We have officially lived in our house for a year. And our master bedroom looks exactly the way it did when we moved in a year ago. I think tomorrow I will take pictures of the whole room so that you can see the pile of stuff for future garage sale, 5 tables, 4 chairs, 2 tvs, pile of frames and candles, and not a single thing on the walls.

But this is going to change! I have recovered from the trauma of removing wallpaper and I am ready for the next house project. Mission Master Bedroom is commencing!

First on my list was new bedding. Because pretty much everything else-wall color, accessories, etc will center around the bedding. So Connor and I headed out to Ikea yesterday. (Thank you Ikea for providing one hour of free childcare! I love that, and so does Connor.) I found a few throw pillows that I just fell in love with. And then I found a duvet cover to go with them. And thus, the transformation of our room is starting!

There is lots to be done still, but I love my new duvet and pillows!

Tomorrows mission-Operation Pick Paint. That is my favorite part!

I am hoping if I play my cards right, maybe my brother and his fiancee will want to help paint. They are arriving on Thursday! I can’t wait to see them.

I can hardly believe this: The marathon is next week! 26.2 miles…next Sunday…everyone start praying for perfect 55 degree weather!
