the help

I have an incrediable mother who at a moments notice hopped on a plane out to Virginia to help get our house “show ready”.  honestly it was her magic that got us the full price offers. with the small budget we gave her, she made pillow covers out of kitchen cloth napkins and cut king size blankets in half to make two matching bunk bed blankets at a fraction of the cost. brilliant I say! switching side tables from one room to another and adding fresh flowers to the front porch also knocked the home buyers off their feet. no joke. you know you staged the house well when you get emails from realtors asking where we purchased pieces of furniture and flowers baskets . fist bump all around!

while I am in the mode of thanking my mother, I have yet to introduce one of her creations that I am beyond words thankful for.  this is something I personally am head over heels about.

reese’s baby blanket.

I know what you’re thinking, it doesn’t look so baby size. that’s because it’s not, it’s a twin size.   reese was showered with the most beautiful quilted baby blankets (thank you grandma valerie, kim, liz, jenna d., lizbeth, francine, michelle, karen).

she still uses everyone of them.

I petitioned to my mom to make a twin size so reese could use it once she was in a big bed. smart thinking on my part. yes?!

she created it from an idea and a small picture I gave her of floating pink squares.

you love it too.

for now it is a decoration in the guest room.

so while my mom was visiting it was not all work. we played in georgetown.

you want some? we were sharing the last crumbs of the cupcake with you.

 

then it was all about the globetrotters!

we challenged dallin and his buddle to go run around the court.  they did. quickly.

going to a real (as real as the globetrotters are) basketball game made it the best day in his life. glad to be apart of it.

mom, thanks again for your help!!
