Check em tomatoes!

Love me some local Jersey tomatoes. Beautiful and yummo!

lala Lilly!

In an attempt to slow down the amount of people calling Lilly a "he" we have started to make sure she has bows in there hair at all times. Yes, I know she is dressed in an outfit that could be a boy here. She gets called a boy no matter what she is wearing...I am talking pink dresses with flowers. People are weird!

Mommy's little helper is always by my side in the kitchen. I love it!

Girls day out

Lilly and I went on a lovely little hike in Hartshorne Park the other day...at the end of it look at the view we found!

Just another beautiful day over the Atlantic! That is Sea Bright below.

Lilly was jazzed to see lots of people walking their dogs...there went another one!

Dearest tummy & muffin top,

I am done with you...

While I know that you are a result of great flavors (aka wine, ice cream and other wonderful things that I put in my mouth) & amazing memories (aka pregnancy, the stresses of motherhood) I do not like you. You make all of my clothes fit funky, you make me feel fat and I wish you away!

My favorite jeans are stuffed into a small cubby hole in my closet and I only keep them there hoping that God in His great mercies will one day let me wake up 10lb.'s lighter...lighter with no dieting and lighter that will stay that way...FOREVER!

In the mean time, thanks to word from my wonderful mother...I have found...

FLEXEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have found the cutest camisole with lace trim. Its black, its my favorite thing and I will get one in every color eventually...

Muffin top and tum-tum be gone.

Bibbity, Bobbity, Boo...I am done with you...cause I am NOT giving up on the wine that I love so much and the ice cream craving that I get once in a while. ;)

Sincerely,

Jillian

J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets! Jets!

Mom, I am SO nervous to watch my boys play. They always have me on edge...

(needless to say they did let me down...final score 9-10/ Ravens)

It was a true nail biter...

Ice cream, you scream!

Hmmm, let me see what you all are raving about...?

Okay, that was hecka good...more please!

Lala...ladies!

please...please...please...

So I have been praying for quite some time for some good local girl fellowship and for an activity that I can get Lilly into so that she can socialize with other kiddies.

God is amazing and this morning I attended my first Bible Study Fellowship class. It is going to be amazing and throughout the next 30-weeks (wowza!) we will be walking through Isiah.

Ladies, I am telling you...there are so many women there and there is free-childcare. Lilly will get to sing, play and learn about the Bible. A-m-a-z-i-n-g answer to prayer!

P.S. Thank you Sharon for telling me about this...it is just what I needed!

Now, ladies. This is an international Bible study. Chances are pretty good that there is one in YOUR area! Please, please, please take a look!

Ideas for a Cass living space...

Leen, This is just a start! Let me know what you think. We can always tone it down with some calmer pillows. :)

Mirrors can open up a room and provide additional light; always a plus in any room.

This particular beauty is a Pier 1 special as a lot on this page. ;)

I am in love with this pillow! It is beautiful and yellow cheery!

Another cheery pop for the couch ~ Etsy ~

Abbie couch in choco. COZYLISH!

~ Pier 1 ~

A whimsical, yet sophisticated coffee table.

Storage under a plus.

PS I THINK the legs on the couches/ ottoman are black, hence me being good with a black coffee table.

Dancing it out!

Lilly loves to dance these days. The grocery store to the music playing, the car, in front of the TV, when the music is playing on her toys...all of it!

I am hoping she doesn't inherit Ryan and my dance moves...

New kicks & some tomato

One of our outings this weekend was to the local outlets. Lilly was hooked up with 2 new pairs of converse. VERY adorable. She is a shoe girl!

Dinner time here in the Keefe home is quite entertaining these days. Now that we are SO excited that our 13.5 mo. old daughter is finally eating! (praise God) Here she is tearing up some tomatoes!

Our new fav eats...

We found our new fav restaurant here in Jerz: http://www.langostalounge.com/

Lilly and I loved their sangria...shhhh

Living room updated...

I needed to open up the room a bit & rearrange. (It had been a few months!)

Now, I am on the HUNT for the perfect piece of art to hang above the couch. Cant find one...if anyone has any links; send em on over please!!

Bathroom updated...

Since our downstairs half bath is so small it was hard to capture what I did here...basically its the black and white "places" room of the home.

PS Yes, that is me in the mirror standing on the toilet to get the shot...

Kitchen...updated...

I just LOVE paper lanterns and was determined to use them somewhere inside the home rather than only for outdoor events.

Here is my latest creation...love it!
