vacation is coming to an end...boo.

Our annual Winn family vacation at Black Butte is coming to an end. Sad. I love it here, its really beautiful. The cousins play from dawn til dusk, the chocolate and peanut butter rice krispie treats are free flowing, and the laughter from family members playing games is palpable.

Once vacation is over, the final house packing will commence (as well as the self-loathing from the 24/7 rice krispie eating), and reality will set in. The goodbyes, the eating whatever is in the fridge so as to not waste, the loading of the moving truck, etc. My mind feels like its going a million miles an hour right now, so much to think about and so much newness on the horizon. I'm excited, anxious, antsy, etc... so so much to think about. I'm excited for this one to come a week from today, haven't seen her in what feels like forever and am looking forward to 4 days in the car, just her and me. Good things coming. Life is full of good things, there are lots of hard things too but today I'm focusing on the good things. This photo of my niece's birthday cake might seem random, but it was.so.good. Its a symbol of good things, life's little pleasures, which is where my heart is focusing today. xo

cute family alert!

More of this cute fam here.

on vacay

I'm on vacation and its delightful. I did manage to get a post up on my other blog. I'm having formatting issues and I'm not going to spend vacation trying to figure them out but, at least there's something to look at right? :) Off to the pool! xo

back from the beach!

Today was a fun day of working (and playing) at the beach! I'm exhausted but I did get on the ball and get a post up on my other blog. Check it out if you wish. :) Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend everyone!

swamped

Back from a few days in Seattle, a busy and very fun few days. I've been celebrating mom's bday, taking some pics, visiting friends in from out of town, celebrating my niece's bday, etc.. Needless to say I have lots of photos to share but also a house to pack, a vacation to get ready for and oh..sleep, I need to sleep. :) Lots more to come. xo

cousin day at Oaks Park

This week we met up w/ the fam at Oaks Park, great weather, great fried food, great rides, and of course, great company. Thanks for the fun day "grandma!" xo

For Sale

We are cleaning out the garage and selling some items that we haven't used in a long time. If you are in Washington in the Seattle/Tacoma area and would like an item, let me know as I am coming there this weekend and would be happy to bring it with me. (email: mollywinn2@yahoo.com)

I bought this dresser and had the intention of painting it, changing the knobs, etc.. Well, as you can see, I started to paint it and never finished. It had a lot of charm and I'm somewhat torn on letting it go but I just don't have a spot for it in my new house. Price: $75




Bought these end tables brand new, haven't used them in years. (I think they would look cute painted white - maybe new knobs, etc. just a thought). Will sell them as a pair only, set of 2 for $100 -SOLD


SOLD
This bassinet really is brand new. It is from The Land of Nod, and Brennan for some reason didn't ever want to be in it so...its been sitting in our garage (or storage) for the past 3+ years. It comes w/ white bedding that has a small green star-type design, gender neutral. Price: $200




If you want to see some fun pics of a cute fam, head on over to my other blog. Happy Thursday!

busy workin'...

...more tomorrow on my other blog!

14 minutes and an old chair

The other night I had 14 minutes left on the timer before dinner was going to be ready and I had just picked up an old chair from an antique store down the street so I grabbed B and we headed outside. Here is the result.
