{Windsor Smith's LA Home, photo by Victoria Pearson for House Beautiful}
I wanted to get a beautiful photo up to replace the house dropped on the Wicked Witch of the East from the previous post. ;) I'm pretty sure this space is one of the most incredible I've ever seen. Windsor Smith is amazing. I'm not going to go over all of the details, but in short, I think it's perfect.
Thanks everyone so much for the kind words yesterday & I know so many of you are in the exact same boat. I hate to get all mushy, but I will because I realized something and I think it's worth mentioning, My mom came over yesterday to help with the kids (like she does twice a week) and she could tell I was feeling overwhelmed. She was sitting on the sofa and said, "Aw, come here" and I did and she just hugged me like a kid and I got a little teary and felt better. I have to say I definitely thought I was past that "mom-makes-it-all-better-with-a-hug-thing," but I'm not. It still works.
She helped clean the (terribly-messy/ trashed) house and stayed late to babysit the kids so I could take Dave out for his birthday dinner. It's pretty amazing what moms can do and I'm so thankful for mine. She swooped in and fixed me just when I needed her.
{thanks mom}
And since I've already gone down the emo-road today, I have to mention that my husband does the all-better-with-a-hug-thing and it always seems to work too.
