Easter in Roundtop, Texas

What a wonderful weekend it has been in Roundtop, Texas! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect time spent with my precious family.

So nice to have them all together; that's hard to do these days! We enjoyed each other so much.

Shopping for treasures, eating at Royers and playing Apples to Apples and Guess Who until way past my bedtime!

This morning the girls made Easter bunny cupcakes and Kelli led us in a sunrise service(which we postponed until 9:30 am).

My family headed back today and I stayed on to continue my treasure hunting. Tomorrow I start the day with early morning shopping and then a Blogger's Lunch at Royers! Yippee! I am so looking forward to that!

Stayed tuned for more from Roundtop, Texas!

XOXO,
Kim

E-Meals Brilliant!!!

I have something to share with you that you are going to love!!! I ran across it today while blog surfing and I am so excited!

EMeals Image

Click the banner below to go to EMeals!


eMeals - Easy Meals for Busy People!

 

I simply can't wait to get started with this fun, new tool! Each week EMeals will send me a menu plan complete with recipes AND a shopping list!! Can you believe it? All I have to do is go to the grocery store and prepare the meal!! I can handle that! It's spending the time to plan and dream up menus that drives me crazy and then of course, procrastination sets in and I just dont do anything at all, lol.

And, you get to select the type of meal plan you want too! Like gluten-free, low carb, clean eating, etc. Plenty of meal plans to choose from and you can even add a breakfast and lunch menu if you like. Such a great tool, wish I had thought of it!!

I downloaded my menus for this week and next right away and even included breakfast and lunch. So very cool!

Let me know what you think about it! And if you decide to try it, let me know how it's working for you! We can compare notes :)

Have a great weekend!! I am off to RoundTop, Texas, yippee!!

Kim 

This is a reallly neat idea and I am so excited to get started with it! Click the link above and check out the website. I think you will see it's really a cool tool and will make your life so much easier.

Secrets of Success

I get asked a lot, how many kids I have, and I think it's because I talk about my kids all the time :) When I say four, people are taken back. They look at me like I am crazy and say "What?? You have four kids?" And then the next question that follows is "How old are you?" When I say 49, a conversation follows that begins with "what is your secret?".

There is no secret, I am a simple girl and my routine is plain and simple too...I eat clean and drink a lot of water. I exercise when I feel like it(not as often as I should) and I try to be as positive as I can as often as I can thus eliminating stress which really makes us look old.

I take good care of my skin and practice a healthy facial cleansing regime morning and night(that's another post altogether). I dont get a lot of sun these days and definitely stay away tanning beds.

The most important of all of these things that I do is to eat clean and drink a lot of good quality water.

Clean eating means that you eat only those things that are clean; without chemicals and nothing that has been processed or at least very minimally processed. Essentially, fresh fruit, veggies, gluten free breads and crackers, fish, eggs and organic meat. I have been feeding my family this way for 20 years. For some reason, probably chaotic schedules, I fall off the wagon from time to time but always go back to this most beneficial way of eating. My body loves me for it and responds with health and a youthful appearance. Tis true that you are what you eat my friend!! It is also true that you are what you think about but that's another post for another day :) 

Gracious Pantry Green Beans

Tiffany, author of The Gracious Pantry blog, does a great job of teaching others about clean eating and how to achieve it. She also has many wonderful recipes on her blog! Check it out!

Water...pure water, free of chemicals, sugar and sweeteners, is best for you and will do wonders for your body as well as your complexion. It cleanses and removes toxins and keeps your body hydrated. All important in a youthful appearance and healthy body.

Drinking water image

I wont say it's always easy because it isnt and if your schedule is anything like mine, and you have to be on the road alot, it's tough to make good choices. I try and stick to a salad(being mindful of the dressing) and a grilled chicken sandwich(I usually remove the bread because of the gluten). It sounds hard doesnt it? But after awhile, you get used to it and you feel great; that's what allows me to continue...I feel great and I see the results.

For today, just try to drink more water and celebrate yourself when you do. It's a simple way to celebrate doing something good for your body and it's so easy. If you are feeling more adventurous and want to try something different, try these simple recipes for infused water and let me know what you think! I would love to hear from you. I cant wait to try them myself! 

Infused Water Image from Pinterest

Have a great day and drink lots of water! Oh, and there is always the occasional weekend in RoundTop, Tx where I indulge in pie and ding dongs:) It's all about balance! For more good recipes on clean eating and lots more on interiors check out my boards on Pinterest.

XOXO

Artful Blogging with Artful Blogging

Artful Blogging by Stampington and Co. is the reason I started blogging many years ago. 

One day while at Barnes and Noble, one of my all-tme favorite places in my world, I ran across a copy of Artful Blogging. I was in love with the magazine at first glance. It is such a beautiful magazine. The paper is exquisite, the photography is stunning and the writing from bloggers all of the world in so very inspiring. I was hooked. I felt in my heart that I had to blog. I had no idea what to write about but I knew it would come. What a beautiful world the magazine had invited me into and I didnt want to leave. 

Artful Blogging Image 1A

In my quest this year for authenticity, I am returning to that place with grand intention. I am returning to my love of blogging and rediscovering my soul. I am allowing myself time to reminisce and I am finding that joy that I had when I first began to blog and that is the way it should be.

If you are interested in blogging, now or someday, pick up a copy of Artful Blogging. I think you will find that it is truly inspiring.

Yippee!! Two more days until RoundTop!!!

Oh my goodness...I am giddy! Two more days and I will be on my way to Antique Heaven with my most amazing hubby and all four of my kids! Yes, this time we are ALL going(whether they like it or not, lol).

Since the RoundTop Antiques Fair falls during Easter weekend, Steve and I were perplexed about our trip. Generally, we take the trip ourselves as it falls around our Anniversary but this year, it falls on Easter. We LOVE being around our kids and spending time with them so to miss being with them on Easter really wasnt an option for us. We concluded that we would just have to return on Saturday evening and cut the trip short. UNTIL...I realized, duh, that my high schoolers would be out of school on Friday. Yippee!! SO NOW, we are all going to RoundTop for Easter weekend(whether they like it our not and they are already complaining, ha)! Dont you love it when they complain :)

I KNOW they are going to have a great time and it will be so great to be all together. We may even take a drive over to College Station and see the Blinn and A&M campuses. 

For sure we will be indulging them in ROYERS CAFE and PIE HAVEN!! Our two most favorite places! RoundTop is not RoundTop without ROYERS and PIE HAVEN. Tara and Bud rock the food world in that part of the country!

Bud and Tara Royers

I cannot wait to get a piece of Butterscotch Tollhouse Pie from Tara and have a bowl of Micah's Pasta and the infamous garden salad with homemade blue cheese dressing at Bud's! OMG!!! I am so ready!

Steve always opts for the "OMG Steak" and the Stuffed Quail both of which are absolutely amazing!!! Oh and the infamous creamed corn(to die for). He also goes for the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie :) It will be interesting to see what each of the kids pick as their new favorite. They love food too and they are all very excited to get to eat with Bud and Tara. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the amazing Chicken Margarita Pie at Pie Haven. Oh my goodness!!! It is so delicious! And the coffee...OH AND the giant ding dongs, Lordy, Lordy! I have already gained 5 pounds just thinking about everything!!

Pie Haven Ding Dongs
Arent these divine?? Wait until you have one...OMG! Better than a Hostess Ding Dong!

So stayed tuned for some family pics and lots and lots of pics from RoundTop, Texas. It's going to be a great trip(whether they like it or not!) 

XOXO,

Kim

On Blogging from the Heart

Several years ago, I started blogging. It was at a time in my life where I was bored, I wanted something to do, something to engage in and I hoped that if I started writing I would inspire those that happened to read my blog. 

I feel certain that most days I was lucky enough to accomplish this task and I really enjoyed the process. Even if my hubby thought I was ridiculous for posting to no one, haha,  and he couldnt understand why I would want to spend my time doing something so weird.

Fast forward several years and I am still blogging. Engaging with my readers and hopefully still inspiring them as we go along. 

I realized today or well, I have been noticing over the past year that I have been somewhat distracted with my blogging. With the changes I made in my business a year and a half ago, my blog changed too. I didnt find the time to write like I had been previously and frankly, I just wasnt sure what to write about. 

With Interior Design being my business, I felt it was expected of me to write about Interior Design and all things related. But the truth is...I have found that to be really hard to do. Primarily because there are so many design blogs out there that do such a great job...what else is there to say??

And with Pinterest now, who needs more pictures of interiors? I have honestly been a little stumped to tell you the truth. So, most days, I dont write anything at all. 

In my search this year for my authentic self, I have discovered that what I do best and what I think I should be doing are two differnt things entirely. THAT is precisely why it has been so difficult for me to create blog posts! If you arent being authentic, it just simply doesnt work. It's impossible really.

SO, here's to authenticity and finally realizing the power in who I am versus who I think I should be :) Here's to blogging and writing authentically and from the heart which so many of you appreciate. 

XOXO,

Kim

Hello friends,

Just a quick note while awaiting my flight back to DFW.

My daughter and I traveled to Indy over the weekend for her to participate in the Nike Midwest Volleyball Tournament.

What a great downtown area! I have never seen anything quite like it. Multiple hotels, a Convention Center, a shopping mall and restaurants galore all joined together by skywalks!! Such an incredible concept developed by White Lodging and with the weather being what it was, we were happy to be able to walk inside wherever we needed to go. Hats off to White Lodging!

We stayed at the JW Marriott and it was a wonderful experience. Great customer service, really comfy beds and the food was divine! Our favorite was Osteria Pronto. Executive Master Chef Baglio Rino is brilliant. The best Eggplant Parmesan I have ever eaten in my life! It was truly as beautiful as it was delicious. My girlfriend has the Calamari and I have to say, I have never seen Calamari look that amazing...wish I had a taken a photo for you but I was in food Heaven and could only think of food!

With all the restaurants close by, we dined at Osteria Pronto three times and even ordered "to go" once because my daughter was increased with their spaghetti. Last night she ordered the filet and said it was the "best" steak she had ever eaten; and this girl eats a lot of steak.

If you are headed to Indy, I highly recommend the JW Marriott and Osterio Pronto. Both are exceptional experiences. Congrats to Indy for this wonderful concept too!

Oh, and as for Volleyball, it was great too! The girls played some of the best VB They have played this year and had a great tournament. Great job girls!

Well, time to board for DFW. Have a great Monday!

Design Bloggers Conference, Barbara Barry and Charlotte Moss

Hello everyone!

Hope this post finds you all doing really well and inspired by the glorious hint of Spring that seems just around the corner!

I am just returning from a wonderful week in sunny California! Hollywood to be exact and it was amazing!!! I was in LA for the fabulous Design Bloggers Conference and had such a grand time. So much great information and so many wonderful people that I was blessed to get to know. 

For those of you who dream in your sleep about design like I do, you will appreciate that I was over the moon to meet design icons Charlotte Moss(for a second time) and Barbara Barry(for the first time). I have never been so inspired in my life...truly, both Barbara Barry and Charlotte Moss brought tears to my eyes through their presentations. They are two of the most amazing women I have ever met in my life. So true to their authentic selves and design styles, so strong in their design presence and abilities. I wish you all could have been there with me to meet them, you would have loved them too.


IMG_7880


The lovely Barbara Barry and I...I am still on cloud 9 :) She is such an amazing women and designer and her impact on the design industry is priceless. She has a new book, "Around Beauty" that she shared with us at the conference. I can hardly wait to get my very own copy. It is so beautiful and her writings in the book are pure poetry.


Barbara Barry Around Beauty

Charlotte Moss was a dream too. Such grace and strength...truly one of my favorite people in the world. I love her sense of humor and quick wit! Charlotte shared her thoughts about social media and it's importance within the business of interior design. She talked about being gracious and honest and using integrity when we write our blogs. She inspired us all to be authentic and to create original content. Charlotte also has a new book, "Charlotte Moss - A Visual Life" (both books are available on Amazon.com) and it is a truly lovely collection of her beautiful work and her many years of collecting and photographing images from all over the world. I was lucky enough to purchase it from Charlotte and have her sign my copy while I was in High Point last Fall. She is inspiring and so very funny :) Love her to pieces!

Charlotte Moss and I
Charlotte Moss and I in High Point last fall...adore her and admire her so much for her design talent and the impact she has made in the world of interior design. 

Charlotte_moss_a_visual_life

While I am so very happy to be at home with my family whom I missed so very much, I am a little sad as I sit here at my desk this morning. My eyes fill with tears as I reflect upon all the wonderful thoughts, images and inspirations that they shared with us; the pieces of their heart and their treasured design secrets. I am so truly blessed to have been in the presence of such greatness. I will be forever starstruck by both of these women and hope that one day, if I am lucky enough, I will be able to inspire others in the gracious way that they do. 

Have a wonderful Thursday :)

 

Warmly,

Kim

Fleurs Bella of NYC

I LOVE NYC!!! I truly do...everything about it from the busy, noisy street life to the cozy, quaint little shops. Oh the charm of NYC :)

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be a vistor in the great city of New York and I had a wonderful time strolling the streets of Brooklyn; in and out of so many quaint little shops. I was in pure bliss, such amazing creativity abounds.

One of my favorite shops along the way was this beautiful little florist shop called Fleurs Bella. Located at 55 East 11th Street, New York, NY. it is a jewel. It reminds me of the floral shops along the streets of Paris. The moment you walk in you are taken away and mezmerized by the beauty of their handiwork. Such creative souls work here. Next time you are in NYC, check them out, you will love this little shop :)

Next time you are in Brooklyn, take the time to stop and smell the roses or the poppies at Fleurs Bella...it's a little slice of Heaven I am sure.

All NEW "Design in a Day" Workshop

Today I would like to offer you something really spectacular!!! 

"Design in a Day" Workshop

What is Design in a Day? Design in a Day is a workshop dedicated to assisting you in pulling together a complete project!

ONE DAY - ONE PROJECT! From start to finish!!!

Design workshop Image 2 Brn Chair and fabric

Are you frustrated with trying to do that bedroom project on your own? Tired of worrying about whether or not you have selected the right paint color, wallcovering or fabric for the drapery? Wouldnt it be great to come into a workshop with an armful of inspiration and leave with a professionally designed project?

Does this sound too good to be true?

Imagine how it would feel to have that design project done...and with the help of a professional designer too! One Day - One Project - DONE!

Imagine...one day with a designer and you are ready to begin that project!!! And, you have no worries :) Everything has received the stamp of approval from a professional designer. No more worrying, no more stressing, just a beautifully designed room! Sigh :)

Doesnt that feel refreshing? 

Design Workshop image yellow liv room

There's a little legwork and homework involved in pulling this off. You must come "prepared" and be willing to work really hard with me in knocking out your project! More of those details later. 

Sound fun? 

Yes, there is a catch :(

THERE ARE ONLY 5 PLACES

This workshop has to be kept to 5, no extra spaces will be added because each project will need special attention. We will be working on floorplans, renderings, furniture and material selections and we will need to be really focused to finish each project in the 5 hours dedicated to this workshop.

This is a DIY workshop for the person who wants a professionally designed project but doesnt mind doing the legwork themselves. If you LOVE shopping and decorating but just need a designer's direction, this class is for you! 

Doesnt that sound like so much fun?

Design Workshop Image Bedroom

I will be there to assist you with everything from creating your floor plan to making selections. You will leave with a professionally designed project for a REALLY low price! You wont believe the price!

WHEW!!! So much fun!!!

ONLY 5 PLACES WILL  BE OFFERED!!!

Reserve your spot today!

 Workshop will be held on Saturday, March 23

10am until 4pm

Cost of workshop is $1295.00 per person

I made it to the gym this morning before it was light outside! Thats a first, YAY ME!

I am really working hard this year on me...inside and out. It's a wonderful journey but it's also a really tough one.

I have a business coach that I adore and admire very much. Not to say that I always like what she has to say....But that's why I hired her...give it to me straight and point me in the right direction! I want to be happy in my work otherwise the time spent isn't worth the time away from my family.

I overheard a gentleman at the gym say "work is work" and I felt sorrow for him. Work should be fulfilling. It should inspire and empower you. If it doesn't then maybe you are not doing what you were created to do?

I realize most of us work because we need the money and I used to do that too. I worked for the money and the work ran me and my life. Now I work because I am fulfilling a greater purpose and the money comes to me. I put myself out there in the great big world and things that I dream of come to me. It's that simple. :)

I have also hired a health/mindset coach recently because I believe in the universal law that the inside must match the person you desire to be on the outside. If you are negative and self-sabotaging you will never make positive, permanent changes because your inner vibrations are going against what you say you want. Isn't that amazing.

Don't misunderstand me...I am a Christian and I have enormous faith and live my life by Godly principles. I just also happen to believe that we are spiritual beings in a physical body on a planet which is run on vibrations. If our inner vibrations aren't in line with who we want to be...it ain't gonna happen because it is physically impossible!

Clear as mud? I know...it's deep right? But, I have found it to be very true and am seeing the results of the many changes I am making in my life.

So, it's time to crank up my treadmill from warm up to high gear! How about your life and your work? Are you self-sabotaging your success and pushing your dreams further away with negative self-talk? Make a decision today to live a better life; the life you were created to live :)

Have a wonderful Thursday! Do something nice for yourself today :)
