I'm Still Here : )

Thanks for all the emails and kind thoughts. You guys are the best. I really do have lots to share but little drive to do it! I am currently almost 32 weeks pregnant and so, so excited!

Recently I had another opportunity to be on St. Louis' KMOV Great Day St. Louis TV show and we got to talk about a baby shower I helped throw last year for one of my best friends, Cori!

{I think I was about 28 weeks or so pregnant at that time.}

If you have a second, here's the video. I haven't even watched it--I don't think I'm ready to see my nearly 8 month pregnant self in motion. : )



Next time I go on their show I will be showcasing the nursery {or at at least I think that's the topic!} & I hope you guys stay tuned. Have a great week!

Super Serious Rug Crush

I've been finding myself thoroughly enjoying Saturday nights on HGTV! It's a treat to have Genevieve, Candice, and Emily all in one night! It could only get better if they decided to throw Sarah or Samantha into the mix! I wish HGTV would take note and add more shows with this flavor to their mix...I get so tired of seeing marathon episodes of House Hunters every other second. Anybody with me?

Last week's Secrets from A Stylist episode had me squealing out loud {sorry, Dave} when I saw that gorgeous fuschia pink rug in Joy and Bob's living room. Yes, I know the first look was loud {on purpose} but that rug spoke to me. I felt like it was reaching out and saying, "Joi, buy me!"

Crazy? Maybe! Haha! I have been thinking about it ever since and have been saving up my pennies for its over $1000 pricetag--say whaaa?!?

I know it's a lot of pink, and maybe too much for all you neutral lovers out there...but I am not normal {sorry mom!} and I capital A-dore the color pink. So, only time will tell how long it takes to make this bad boy mine. I already have a place for it in my home. Yup, I'm officially obsessed.

Oh, and I tweeted about its source this weekend and Emily tweeted me back! Talk about starstruck! I love how social media connects us all and it blows my mind how one minute I can have a question and the next minute the star of the show is personally answering it---too incredibly wonderful and I don't think I will ever get over loving it!

Who would've thought I could get so mushy over social media...only me. Geezo.

Great Day St. Louis

So after Nate, I was invited to a local TV morning show called Great Day St. Louis. It was an incredible experience and the anchormen and woman were so unbelievably pleasant. They definittely lived up to my perceptions of their outstanding personalities!

I was able to take my dear Maw Maw along with me, who is a die hard channel 4 KMOV fan, and she got to get her picture taken with the anchors! If I wasn't so dang tired I'd upload the pics for you all to see--but, my eyes are closing on me as I type, so they'll be coming soon {I promise}.

For now, all you non-St. Louisans take a gander at my little segment I taped yesterday morning. It was such a great time and I loved doing it. I could get used to this! ; )

I hope you all have an amazing weekend--I'm hoping to catch a couple naps here and there. My schedule is wearing me out...but in the BEST possible way.

Oh, and thank you guys all so much for your kind comments about my Nate Show appearance. You guys really know how to make a girl smile. Getting sweet blog comments is like Christmas morning--on repeat!

xoxo
