His advice is to build in enough time to experience this adventure - a cushion of time, "just in case there are delays." Avoid tight schedules and deadlines. After all, you're on vacation. You colour my world!

Monday, June 16, 2008. Baby, meet Orange.". I just had to post the details of the baby shower I threw for my sister-in-law on Saturday. It was a lovely day in Portland (finally!

nesting instincts: the most important things in life aren't...chandeliers

http://nesting-instincts.blogspot.com/2010/10/most-important-things-in-life.html

Thursday, October 21, 2010. The most important things in life aren't.chandeliers. So yesterday I was blessed with a few hours to myself in the morning. What a gift! I spent the whole time browsing along each and every booth at Monticello Antique Mall in Portland. I love that place! Many of the vendors are very gifted at display, and I like how each of their individual personalities shine through their choices of stock and collectibles. This is one of my all-time favorite dining rooms from a magazine EVER.

A friend posted on Facebook today that her kids all want Christmas to hurry up and get here, but she needs it to slow down because she feels the impending "deadline" of making it all happen. I can relate! I found this sweet Etsy shop called Kawaii Goodies.
