I was a nesting maniac while I was pregnant with Layla, not but a week before Layla was born I was on my hands and knees scrubbing baseboards and every nook and cranny that could possibly have dirt or dust. :)! And even though I am not pregnant I still want to get started with freshening up and simplifying our living space. Our Christmas decorations are coming down this week and although it makes me sad because it's all over I am ready for a spic and span fresh house! Lots of love to you darling! Hope to hear more soon!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546279806824722638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-51964753760782547772011-01-02T18:32:28.534-06:002011-01-02T18:32:28.534-06:00happy new year aura!! love your blog and your insp...happy new year aura!! love your blog and your inspiring photos!l. chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015366841995733400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-32310620850712309332011-01-02T18:28:41.335-06:002011-01-02T18:28:41.335-06:00Just came across your blog.

I have so many ideas for mine, it's hard to know where to start. But I know for sure that I would serve hot tea and pastries that my Mom makes. She is amazing at it, and I've tried to talk her into selling to local bakeries. <br />I also know I'd have a big, fat shop cat :) And a corner to stop and read a used book and have a glass of wine.<br /><br /><br />O'melly- Being pregnant in general has helped my mood. I've had my days since then, but I think I went something crazy like 4.5 months without being in a bad mood. Until cold weather rolls around :)<br />I have never had something affect my attitude that much - it's wonderful. <br /><br /><br />Lisa- Thank you so much for the sweet compliment. I try to live as simply as possible, in today's busy world. I actually had to look up an Ipad the other day because I genuinely didn't know what it was! I still didn't really get it. I'll stick with my big, clunky, old PC desktop, and stop to smell the roses :) <br /><br /><br />Genevieve- Thank you, sweet girl. I hope you are doing well, you seem very happy lately.<br />I was thinking about you the other day...I was remembering the cherry blossom curtains from Urban Outfitters from probably 8 years ago, and how obsessed with them I was. And then I remembered them in your cute little nest.<br /><br /><br /><br />Happy New Year every one!Aurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703730646756774047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-50028838632830473892011-01-02T10:39:36.799-06:002011-01-02T10:39:36.799-06:00Oh happy sunday to you dearest aura!

I admire how positive and care-free you are, and love to share how inspiring your posts are, and how they reveal the true simplicity of life. People get lost in the whirlwind we call life, & it's good to know there are still those people that stop to smell the roses.<br /><br />Congratulations on all the wonderful things in your life, and thank you for staying positive & uplifting.Lisa [at] Beauty and Her Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556570014136820502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-68702459254231326012011-01-02T09:33:34.046-06:002011-01-02T09:33:34.046-06:00Happy new year!

I've loaded up 6 bags full of toys, extra linens, and stuff we just don't need and given them to Salvation Army. I'm definitely missing spring, so I made a goal to create a simple home, while waiting for warm. Love all your natural aspects you bring in.

I'm still waiting my homelife to start, can't wait the moment when we can get furnitures what we choose. It feels like living in someone else's home right now.

It must be a pregnancy/nesting thing :) <br /><br />I am naughty when it comes to drainage. I have fallen in love with lots of little pots and containers over the years that don't have drainage holes. That's why I'm a big fan of succulents. They need barely any water (especially in the winter) and even when you do water, they need more damp soil than an actual deep watering. The soil should go completely dry between waterings, so I've never had an issue with any fungus or root rotting at the bottom of my containers from not having drainage holes. Normally I used crushed ice to water them. I grab a couple pieces and place them around the plant so the soil slowly gets damp.<br />Succulents are such a wonderful, easy plant. My two oldest I bought when Michael and I first got married, so they are 4 years old! And they're both in tiny watering cans with no watering hole at the bottom.Aurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703730646756774047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-24338892345069167392011-01-02T01:33:50.294-06:002011-01-02T01:33:50.294-06:00I've become a crazed nester myself lately.
