Dishing It

Amanda at Serenity Now is hosting a blog party with the intention of getting to know other bloggers. She describes it as “having a girlfriend over for coffee and dishing over anything and everything.” I especially love this idea since I’m new to blogging. The topics Amanda chose are below:

Best Activity You Participated in this Summer

We moved! Yay! Our family moved out of a 1900 square foot 3-story townhouse to a beautiful new home that we built from the ground up. Take a peek inside our new home here.

Summer Family Trips

No trips for us this summer, see above:) We did take our first day road-trip to Bastrop, Texas (about 2 1/2 hours away) for my little brother’s wedding.

Best New Recipe You Tried

We’ve enjoyed some bbq on our new grill! Love it when hubby cooks:)

Most Exciting Thing You've Done this Summer

For me, becoming a stay-at-home-mom takes the cake. My son is just 5 months old and I don’t want to miss a thing! My days now consist of lots of time on the floor with this little guy. He’s currently on the roll:)

Coolest Crafty/Home Decor Thing you Made/Tried

I’m pretty excited about my “rainbow” bookcase. I’m probably going to rework it a bit soon. I think the “yellows” that are up by the “purples” need to come down to the “orange/yellows” and the “blues” need to move up:)

Best Book or Magazine Issue

Oh how I love to read! I recently subscribed to House Beautiful, and I really enjoy their content (informative) and photos (gorg). I also read the “Baby Whisperer” books. They have helped me so much.
