Temporarily Mooo-ved!

I have decided to combine my blogs for a while... check out www.ChelseaDesignDFW.com for all of my posts about Life and Design. The two are so beautifully intertwined (and I haven't had the time or patience to keep up with 2 blogs) that it seemed like the perfect thing to do.

Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

Okay, okay... I'm a little late. But, I did want to get it out there and also let you know that pictures from this past holiday season are not far behind!

True Love.

I came across a wedding photographer today that I absolutely love. Such fun and interesting shots, such quirky and lovely weddings. Not only is the photography phenomenal, the decorations are FABULOUS! Here are a few of my favorites.

I could go on forever! I think every shot is my favorite.

What an awesome shot! Seriously, i could keep going... but I won't. If you want to see more check out http://jonaspeterson.com/

It is pronounced "MON-DRIAN"

An artist from the early 20th century, Piet Mondrian was a pivotal player in the cubism race. He created art, as seen above, that is still being referenced and added to modern culture, nearly 100 years later. I imagine his images and style will continue to be used far into the future.

SO, if you are going to copy this man's art- PLEASE pronounce his name correctly. It is NOT "Modrain." It IS Mondrian (môn'drēän). Seriously... I think I found a new pet peeve.

On another Mondrian note, this is actually one of my favorite paintings done by the artist. A Mill in the Sunlight by Peit Mondrian takes some lovely notes from the post-impressionism era. I love the color and texture in many of his early paintings.

Powerless.

Only the light that pours from the window to light my way. This is the perfect day to sleep! To bad I have SO much work to do!

A Beautiful Reminder

What was once dry and wanting

Rejoices in the sky's bountiful gift

What was once hidden by dust and weeds

Graciously accepts nature's cleansing shower

What was once aching for life

Stretches out under God's nurturing hand

The empty are filled

The dirty are cleansed

The needy are not left wanting

A beautiful reminder

From a late summer rain

Young Life

Young Life has started back up strong this year! I am looking forward to spending time with my junior girls and getting to go a little deeper with them in our Bible study. I am really excited what the Lord has for me and my girls!

To start off the year I got to design the T-shirt for RHS Young Life. The kids are in the process of voting on which one they like best. Pretty exciting!

Here, have a look at the variety they have to choose from.

Good for the soul.

Smiles

I just wanted to post how much I LOVE seeing this child smile. It lights up my world. So pure and simple. Child of mine, please stop growing up.

Bubble time!

Almost too many to get in the tub with! Needless to say bubble bath + jacuzzi jets = LOTS of bubbles.

Seeking understanding.

Hello School Year!

We are back! And SO ready for 3rd grade. Cameron is standing tall at 4 foot 7 inches, 90 pounds and 100% boy! He was excited about seeing his friends again and being the friendly chatty boy that we all know and love. Although friends were at the top of his list, Cameron's interest in academics isn't far behind. He is ready to get back in his Reach class and get in his groove.

Only moments later he took off with out even a "Bye, mom!" I did wrangle one out of him, but I am beginning to realize the day will come all to quickly when I can no longer get my hugs and kisses out of this sweet boy.

August already!?

I do believe I will make it a habit to only post blogs in months that start with the letter "A"

No, not really! I will add "J" in there too for good measure. :)


Okay, okay! I will yet again promise to be a better blogger. Life is busy, but it is also too short. So, topics to look forward to... Eating with Chelsea, the new house, Cameron and all of his fun activities, friends and family!

For now I will leave you with my latest addition to "Eating with Chelsea!"

It was my birthday and could eat if I want to!



Yummy carrot cake.

:(

Dear blog: I miss you.

Sincerely,
Chelsea

Rock Band

I love spending time with my boys. It doesn't really matter the activity sometimes. Today, it's RockBand. We're rocking out to the likes of the Talking Heads and Duran Duran. I LOVE this time with them; discovering more about their personalities by the songs they choose and the outfits they put their rocker in. My heart swells with love :)
