Fully Alive…Ready to Smile

…recognize the true importance of a single moment in time, the instant when you are fully and completely alive!

Would you come to stay?

I managed to transform my 4 year old’s very little girl bedroom into a guest suite this afternoon.  I’m happy with how it turned out.  Thank you for all your suggestions.  I was right along the same lines as most of you, but it was really fun to get all your suggestions and why you suggested them : )  I see we all like a little luxury.  Here’s what I got together…A toiletry basket on the bed, complete with new toothbrush, toothpaste, shave gel, a new cup, lotions, lip balm, shower gel, body spray, new face cloths and towels and chocolate.  A little box I made on the pillow with chocolates in it.  A fun tissue box that I found with a cool pattern on it.  A nice candle on the night stand. Two new pillows.  A new duvet with fresh new white cover and pillow cases.  Two fun magazines.  Fresh flowers on the dresser.

I’ve converted our main bathroom into a guest bathroom (for the weekend the girls will use our ensuite with us).  I put new soaps, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and puff, more new towels, and lotions.

Maybe she’ll want to come back again one day : )  And now that I have all this stuff anyone else want to come visit? : )

  9. So you will have to help me. I have a friend visiting me from Mississippi in a few weeks and she will be sleeping in Noah’s room. (I’m sorry I didn’t think about doing that for you — truly I am) How do I transform a boy’s room? She is just going to be here 24 hours.
