She is a freshman at UT and works part time at Pier 1, it's pure torture, haha! Isn't it so great when we get to do grown-up things with our grown-up girls!! Thanks so much for your visit and kind words, I'll look forward to reading more of your blog in the future! Stay warm up there :)<br />xo, AndreaAndrea at Opulent Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047846276519608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-88566134708153766422013-01-19T22:41:40.028-06:002013-01-19T22:41:40.028-06:00Your your mantel looks lovely, Jane.

Your mantel decor looks very nice. Doesn't it always seem bare after you take down the Christmas decorations? I know it always takes some getting used to when I take mine down. I've been doing some cleaning out myself. January does seem like a good time to do it, doesn't it? We have just recently gotten cold weather here. It was warm last week and rainy. I'm thrilled to finally see the sun. I don't care what the temps are as long as it's sunny!! Good luck on shopping for your dress for the wedding. I know that will be an important dress!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-39035189687275621352013-01-18T20:51:41.385-06:002013-01-18T20:51:41.385-06:00Love that photo of your girls.

Enjoyed your end of year review and I think the first photo on this post of your living room is simply lovely. I think you did a great job with the mantle and what a sweet picture of your girls. Your room looks so soothing and comfortable and cozy. But why is there green out the window or is that something that blooms year round? I guess your husband must be doing well and I wish you all a happy 2013 ---filled with much joy!podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-47279739134237300722013-01-17T22:36:29.835-06:002013-01-17T22:36:29.835-06:00Well it may be winter outside, but things look pre...Well it may be winter outside, but things look pretty cozy and warm inside.<br /><br />LynnLynn Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009540811451983030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-6609670483719196922013-01-17T21:04:39.442-06:002013-01-17T21:04:39.442-06:00Your coffee table looks so nice!

Nothing too heavy or overdone; just elegant and pretty.<br /><br />I was laughing about your fajita night...I could just picture the chaos going on in the kitchen with the girls trying to cook and everyone being hungry.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I can't help you with the wedding shower as I've never done one myself. The last one I went to was a couple of years ago in someone's home and it was lovely. The person had a big home, so there was plenty of room for everyone (including outdoors on the patio). We had a nice luncheon and drinks, and the dining room table served as a dessert table. I compare that shower to one I attended three years ago at a restaurant - and the one held in the home was much nicer, IMHO. It's just more personal and you can get up and mingle around with the other guests or go outside.<br /><br />Cookbooks...I have a lot, too. Probably about the same as you. I don't mind that so much as the tons of cut-out recipes from magazines that I have. I've even weeded through them recently and I still have too many. Yet another household project. ;-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-42730380802097764282013-01-16T16:22:14.846-06:002013-01-16T16:22:14.846-06:00Oh, how exciting, a future wedding to plan!

I, too, left out a few wintry things that I had originally put out with the Christmas decor. It's nice to get your house back after Christmas though, isn't it? :)<br /><br />I'm about to tackle my cookbooks and recipes, so thank you for the further inspiration. At the moment my collection occupies an entire double kitchen cabinet, and I can imagine so many other ways I could use that space. Time to weed out and reorganize!
