Blurry + signs

I have been a bit zonked from sleep deprivation.  Other than the 'lost photos', I haven't taken any shots of us as a group lately.  So.....have a super crappy photo of our morning.  This is how my life feels lately.......blurry.

Still, my days are filled with the smell of a tiny baby's head, and liberal hugs from Violet and my super sweet husband.  I'd be peachy if I could get a few more hours of sleep a night.  Oh!  My doctor finally released me to exercise.  Two weeks of exercise has done wonders for my state of mind.  My body, however, feels like jello.  I spent the better part of a year not being able to do anything due to pregnancy complications, so I am ready to get strong and functional again.  Not to mention lose some of this baby weight---blech.  I've lost 30 pounds since I had Piper, but there are still some I'd like to see go away. 

I'm a very visual person, and our local aesthetic (or lack thereof) drives me a little batty.  I miss living in an area with neat, cute, well-designed store fronts.  Around here, people just throw up a crappy hand painted sign and call it done.  Look at those two jippy signs!  Is it so wrong to want things to be pretty?  Am I just too high maintenance? 

I know a top-of-the-line storefront isn't possible for everyone's budget, but surely they can do better than that.  The above example wouldn't be too much harder, and it just looks so much cuter.  Have some pride, people. 
I have no room to talk, though.  If you saw the state of my house, you'd fall over and die.  Still-my home isn't a business.

I also got a kick out of this.  I blocked out the church's name so as not to be rude.  The marquee reads, "Worship and prayer are both verbs."  Sigh----no, they're not.

Adorale picture :) Look at you three lovelies all decked out! Your life may be blurry right now, but ya'll are super cute. I'm in the "I'll be cute when I lose weight" camp right now. I know that's sad--I do try stuff on, but them I'm just like NO.

I agree with the storefronts. For one, the "look" of the shop would be one of the most fun things to tackle! And of course who wants to go into a shop that looks "half-hearted" before you even go in? Unless its a thrift store... ;) I don't like thrift stores that are too "fancy."

Ps Violet is such a sweetie, the way shes looking at Piper. I think you lucked out and got a great big sister in her :)

Hi Honey! I'm back from my quick trip to Salem. Back to my cooking, cleaning, laundry, and crafting! I agree that you look terrific. Hmmm, a grasshopper? Nah, they have crawly legs and I don't like that. I DID have a caterpillar as a pet when I was Violet's age. Kept him in a matchbox lined with a kleenex. I believe it was a short relationship. Hugs.
