    Oh yeaaaah!! Just shy of his 6 month birthday, Mr. Zach has started eating cereal. We are going places people!

    "I want to eat the bowl."

    I was going back and forth between cereal and oatmeal. Which is better? What will he like more? Will the rice make him constipated? We have both and I tried both. Zach doesn’t seem to care. He’s been more interested in the sweet potatoes to be honest.

    Does my kid look like he’d reject any type of food?

    "I like stuff this mommy."

    More please.

    "tasty."

    It was hilarious watching him try cereal for the first time. We stared spoon feeding him this crap Monday night and so far so good. I mix 1 tbsp of rice with 2 oz. formula and nuke for 15 secs. I make it really soupy and then dip the spoon in a little sweet potato before giving it too him. The sweetness masks the grainy unflavorful cereal. I fool him, bwhahahahahaha. For now, we’re doing the cereal thing twice a day. Once in the morning before his bottle and once in the evening before his bottle. Done and done.

    "this is good stuff."

    "feed me."

    In between eating big boy food and making a complete mess for mommy, we’ve been loving our new bouncy seat.

    “Mom, please stop taking my picture.”

    This child melts my heart <3

    So our big painting project is done. I love the colors. I’ll post pics tomorrow.

    Hope you’re having a great week!

    My little peanut has been sneezing and coughing the past two days. I brought him to the pediatrician on Monday and she said unless he’s having trouble breathing, or gets a fever, there wasn’t a lot she could do. This morning, I had do pull out the nasal blowy thing that sucks out their boogies. Ugh. It was the worst. Who wants a pump stuck up your nose anyway? Poor cookie.

    "It stinks not knowing how to blow my nose."

    So it’s day two our painting project. It’s also 5:46 and these guys think they will be done tonight. I highly doubt it. They have so much more to cover. Leo and his three co-painters have been here since 8am. The upside is that they’ve finished the media room, upstairs hallways and Zach’s room. It came out beautiful. The new shade of blue I chose looks better than the lighter shade shade that was in our last house. Oh yes, it’s true. That nursery was hard to top though. I’m trying my hardest to make Zach’s new space just as special and cozy.

    Remember his room in PA? I will always cherish this room and the memories we had in it.

    Clean palette in our Texas house. BORING.

    I’ll reveal the final look tomorrow!

    Okay, off to inspect. These painters are good, but I’ve already found a couple of spots they missed. I’ll be damned if they leave tonight without touching them up.

    Have a great night y’all!

    Hiii friends-

    I’m a nervous wreck today because our house getting painted. Like, 90% of it. I’ve never seen so much paint in my life.

    dark paint + white rugs = DISASTER. These three amigos better make sure the carpet is 1,000% covered.

    The awesome news is that Zach’s room is done, and I LOVE IT!!!

    Here is the color palette I’m doing. Zach’s room is blue and brown, the downstairs accent wall where the fireplace is will be that deep brown (Iced Espresso.) The color next to it (right) is called River Mud and that’s going in the main room and foyer area. The grey is our media room color and is also the hallways and butlers pantry color. Hard to all these rooms will be done by tomorrow evening. I’ll post after pics. Our new sectional is being delivered Friday too. Everything is finally coming together and I couldn’t be happier.

    HGTV what????

    I’m sick and little Zach is sneezing too. He seems to be fine though- acting normal, breathing is good, etc. I took him to the pediatrician yesterday and they said he might just have allergies. It must be the overprotective mother in me, but I was freaking out this morning bc of all the coughing he was doing last night. I called his pediatrician again and they said it may be allergies or just a cold and to just keep an eye on him. Oyyyy.

    Here’s my little peanut from this morning. He’s the best!

    "Morning Mom!"

    My mother-in-law is coming down to visit this weekend. I’m so excited for her to see Zach and our new house. Plus, she’ll be great company while Stu is at the Super Bowl. His birthday is next week and I have no idea what to get him. Not another video game, he has enough clothes, gift cards are so impersonal. Hmmm..any ideas?

    It’s 73 here and I’m dying to get out for some air. I think maybe once Zach gets up from his nap, we’ll take a stroll.

    Have a great day!

    Hiii!

    I woke up with a wicked sore throat. This SUCKS. Although I feel like crap, I’m toughing it out and not going to the 11:30 spinning class. Another reason I’m feeling blah?? I ate like a loaf of fruit bread before bed last night. Yup, that’ll do it. Damn you fruit bread!! It was good enough to NOT throw out.

    Tomorrow I have to go to Homegoods. I need some decorating ideas and inspiration.

    What should I get to go in this space? I was thinking of a round table with some kind of extravagant floral arrangement. I had an interior decorator come over last week and she thought a curved bench or table in this area would look nice. Hmm. I should spend some time on pinterest. Are you following me? Seach lisapaigeNOW. Warning: I’m a newbie and my boards aren’t that impressive.

    I should watch some more HGTV. Perhaps a little “Donna Decorates Dallas?”

    Lilies are pretty (these are lilies right?) Unfortunately the smell is killing me. Maybe it’s because I bought two bunches? Double the flowers, double the oder. They look pretty though.

    Tonight we’re going out with some friends to dinner at Sambuca.  Should be fun.

    One thing that never gets old is loving on our little Zach Attack. He’s the BEST.

    What are you doing today?
