Hello friends! It’s Monday–a new week and a fresh start. I’m sharing pics of our mantle–all ready for Valentine’s day. I found the antlers at a thrift store and thought they were kind of cool–but my family has had various reactions. Hmmmm…
Hello rainy day
Hello fireplace warming our toes
Hello wishing I could sleep until noon {rainy days are like that!}
Hello no school {teacher in service}
Hello pancakes and a slow morning {love that!}
Hello to-do list that I shouldn’t put off too long
Hello white bean chili for dinner
Hello preparing lunches ahead of time so we eat out less {egg salad sandwich anyone?}
Hello blending up food for David and trying to work more protein into his diet {he only eats blended foods}
Hello projects for the home.
Hello sprinkling hearts everywhere and getting ready for Valentine’s day
Hello wishing we could paint the kitchen cabinets
Hello sister time tonight–yay!
Hello new week full of projects and ideas
Hello Monday–it’s going to be fabulous. I can just feel it!

Hi Lisa. I have been lurking in your blog for a while, but here I am! thank you for your beautiful posts and being a source of inspiration. I will tell you, if I found those antlers at the thirft store they would come home with me too. We love bones in this house .
I like that you always switch things up…I tend to stick with the same stuff…I guess I like it and don’t want to change it up. The antlers are kind of fun… so why not? I have a brother who always finds interesting stuff at thrift stores…those antlers made me think of him. 🙂
sweet sweet owls & hearts. and isn’t the rain nice … in small doses, of course (;
we’re saying hello to eating lots of oranges and working on inside projects this week.

Hello to the melting of the snow that got our entire last week of school cancelled! Hello to leaping over many fallen trees and branches on my way to work this morning. Hello to my sweet high school students who I have really missed! Hello to fun crafts with my daughters this afternoon, a sunny day, book club on Thursday, girls’ night on Friday, and a day in Seattle this weekend with my BFF!
And, after last week, I am saying goodbye to my dream of moving to Vermont….
Hello Lisa, *Smile* I love *Hello Monday* and started last week. *Grin* Thank-you so much for sharing.

I love your post this week! I especially love those owls! Did you paint them? Is one antiques over the blue? LOVE!
Hi MacKenzie! Yes, I found them at a vintage shop–they were brown and I spray painted them aqua. xo
Im saying hello to the opportunity to choose joy today. Its not always easy in life but it sure does make it easier to get through those hard times when my attitude is right.
Have a lovely monday everyone!

On a more personal note: I just wanted you to know, I think if I had to walk a mile in your shoes, I’m not quite sure I’d make it the first couple steps. God bless.
My vote is for keeping the antlers! I’m saying hello to Gratitude Journal Monday and the final part (part 3) of the family rules project I posted on my blog the past two What I Made Wednesday’s. Here’s today’s gratitude link-up:

And I just LOVE your decor! So pretty and bright!
LOVE the antlers! xox
SUPER CUTE LISA! Not so sure about the antlers though but somehow you still manage to make it look cute!
Good Monday Morning. I’m saying hello to a smiling, happy son. I’ve been following your blog for a while and love it. 🙂 I also have a special needs son. He eats pureed organic food. I’ve found the boxes of creamy soups work great by adding mashed potato flakes to thinken to the correct consistency. I grind/pulse the chicken in a food processer until it turns into tiny pieces. That has worked really well for us. Maybe you’ve already tried this too? We also had a hard time getting enough protein in his diet and this has helped. Have a great day!
Saying Hello to a clean house!! Time to go through kid’s closets…bookcases…toy boxes…everything! Love your ideas Lisa!! You give me inspiration!
Oh my–what a great feeling. I love a clean house.
Love the antlers Lisa!
Hello to being healthy again (and goodbye cold!)…
Hello to more purging and cleaning (love me a clean house!)…
Hello to painting my bedroom a lovely shade of gray and making a tufted headboard (wish me luck!)…
Hello to a lovely new week with lots of possibilities!
