pardon the mess...

...but welcome home.

I started my first blog to provide amusing stories and photos of the kids to my family and friends that live oh so many miles away. However, being the admitted retail freak that I am, I also find myself compelled to blog about the pretty little things (other than the children) that make me smile.

"it's beautiful here" is the new home for my daily retail inspirations while the original blog will remain the place friends & family may go for memorable moments & random musings from our home. Please bear with me while I separate the two passions and work out any kinks. I hope to be up and blogging on both sites again soon.
