DEAR MASTER BATHROOM
We moved in October to a new home with lots of "potential".
We left behind a steam shower.
The End.
Seriously though, as it turns out "potential" means things can take a long time. It also means you have the opportunity to make things your very own, this part I love. {ahem, it also means it's a money pit. this part horseface does not love. womp.}
But it is all okay because we hope this is our forever home and we feel so lucky to be here.
There are many home improvements to tackle, but right off the bat, we took on a master bedroom project that is stuck in the 'before' phase. Well, technically it's stuck in the post-demo phase. In the meantime I get to share a dated bathroom with my entire family and a full bed with horseface. yikes.
I know it will be worth the wait and I count my blessings every day for these are not bad "problems" to have. And I'm most definitely enjoying researching my 'dream bathroom' - I'm specifically drawing inspiration from the images below. Now if only we can roll them into one and wave a magic wand and make it happen. But that wouldn't be any fun . . . would it?

DEAR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
Time is going by faster than ever and I really want to be better about writing in my journal. {I love the one line a day book}
This time of year is tough - it can be isolating and well, just plain miz. I'm hoping to brighten my nearest and dearest's short winter days with some good ol' fashioned snail mail.
Yesterday, I saw the movie wild and this quote struck me, corny as may be . . .
"My mother used to say something that drove me nuts," Reese's character says. " 'There's a sunrise and a sunset every day, and you can choose to be there for it -- you can put yourself in the way of beauty.' "
Dreary winter months more than ever, we need some beauty, so I'm going to walk my little ladies on down the street to check out the sunset whenever we can.
Last but not least, I will be writing valentines again. I've strayed a bit from the handwritten note format that I feel so passionate about so back to my roots! who's with me?
happy new year, everyone. time to walk the pups.
