One Lovely Blog

Thanks so much to Decor Is Like Butter! Anastasia awarded me with One Lovely Blog. This really made my day. She has such a beautiful blog and was highly worthy of this award  too!



I have been blogging since January 19th 2011, but I fell in love with the world of blogging long before that. With that, I am to award this very prestigious honor to (15) fifteen other blogs. So how do I choose, one might ask!?!?!!

YOU HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY FOREWARNED! This is really corny! Here it played out as I talk to myself...

Self: OMG! I got an award!

Myself: Shooo...t, it came right on time.

Self: (ode to Leonardo DiCaprio) "I'm on top of the world!"

Myself: Yippeee, but wait...the rules of acceptance are as follows, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah...and so on

Self: (playing devil's advocate) Ok, so I got do what, for who, by when? 15...for real?!!

Self: But wait! Who do I give it to?

Myself: (the clever one) How about blogs you really LUV!

Self: (the even more clever one) DUH! But wait that's more than 15!

Myself: Ok Ok Ok! Then how about ones you want to give a real heartfelt shot out to? You know what I mean? The ones that are after your own heart and the things you love. Like real life, family, and design! The ones that you can relate too honest and true. Just the blogs that really make you smile!

Self: Now I gotcha!


Blogs that make me smile:
 (this is in no particular order)


Maybe these blogs already have this award, maybe you have visited these blogs or maybe you have not, but once you do, I am sure they will make you smile as big as I have from reading their beautiful blogs! Now I just have to let all these lovely bloggers know  that they are apart of my chosen fifteen. Maybe this is a 2nd, 3rd or even 10th one for each who knows, they deserve them all!

Now to may last task I have to tell you (7) seven things about me. What I like to call: HOLLAAAAA....! 

1. HOLLA...I have an older twin sister! She and I are 14min apart. And no I can not feel it when he hurts! She is in Tennessee now. "I love you sis!" She comes home for the summer from Tennessee today!


2. HOLLA...I love sweets and I love to bake! My signature cakes are Red Velvet, Almond flavored Pound Cake, and Coconut Cake with pineapple filling!


3. HOLLA...I love to paint! This is my most recent painting. I was actually commissioned for this. I honestly had stopped painting awhile back until I did this one. It was like I never stopped. You can read about it here!


4. HOLLA...I get high on reality TV!  Right now I am into American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Celebrity Apprentice, and Bad Girls Club. Its just is so dang entertaining. Like a train wreck, you can't take your eyes off of it.


5. HOLLA...I was born to be a hostess! I love to entertain! We always host the big family gatherings like holidays and birthdays at our house! Here is a photo from the last gathering. It was my daughter's 10th birthday celebration. Although its a lot of work the pay off is the satisfaction on everyone face that makes it all worth it!


6. HOLLA...I am a hopeless romantic! Urban Dictionary got it right on this one:

This person is in love with love.They believe in fairy tales and love.They're not to be confused as stalkers or creepy because that's not what a hopeless romantic is. All hopeless romantics are idealists,the sentimental dreamers,the imaginative and the fanciful when you get to know them.They often live with rose colored glasses on.They make love look like an art form with all the romantic things they do for their special someone.



7. HOLLA...my favorite days are rainy days. Its the one time where you feel like the hustle and bustle of life slows down just enough to take a well deserved breather. Its the perfect excuse to curl up with ones you love, a good book or design magazine, or just take the most relaxing naps!

New Beginnings In 2011

So I have started a blog...yeah!!!! This has been a long time coming. I decided to just do it and stop making excuses. I am so happy to become a part of something that I have admired for so long. I just had to get that off my chest!

New beginnings means a whole bunch of different things for me in 2011.  I promise to share them all. The main one right now is getting this blog going. So with that said, here is what I would like you to know about me...

I am a 31 year old  loving Wife of a beautiful husband and  loving Mother of four beautiful children. I am an Interior Design graduate working as a Visual Merchandiser for a furniture retailer based out of Florida. I am the second oldest of six siblings, where my twin sister is fourteen minutes older than me.

The Sister Sophisticate will serve as an extension of my own self when it comes to my design on life.
"Life is what you make it!"
With this blog I will be able to capture that essence by sharing my passion, values, and interests. I hope you will enjoy sharing with me!

Happy New Beginnings in 2011!
