Modern Phoenix Home Tour 2011: Sunnyslope

Last Sunday I had the opportunity to attend a tour of homes in Sunnyslope featuring mid-century modern architecture. I have been a stalker of Mid-Century Modern for some time, in particular homes designed by Al Beadle, Fred Guirey & Ralph Haver. I often times have dreamed of owning a home designed by one of these Tony architects and I also have a serious crush on Palm Springs for this reason. As a matter of fact the last several years I have found myself there numerous times and I fall in love a little more each time I return. Having basically grown up at The Arizona Biltmore Frank Lloyd Wright was someone for whom I not only recognized but appreciated at a very young age. I am fortunate enough to posses a few pieces of furniture designed by the master himself. Thanks to Marshall Shore I was able to spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon touring some of these beautiful homes while relishing in their beauty and simplicity. The tour sponsored by ModernPhoenix.net is not to be missed, I can't wait for next year!

Monday, Monday... Can't Trust That Day

First things first, if you haven't been over to read Marc & Angels inspiring posts now is a good time to start! With 52 Monday Morning Stress Reducers it surley will help you to get a leg up on the week. I know I sure could have used to take some of their advice this morning. Some mornings I have the amazing ability to get 3 kids dressed fed and out the door in 30 min..including myself. I really can't tell u how I do it but I do & on these mornings I feel like I have Superhero powers..today wasn't one of those mornings. Sometimes it is just not possible, one little thing can backfire and it's all over: let the madness begin. The car can be started ..I can be standing in the doorway and then bam it happens. "I peed" coming from the stairs and a 4 yr old who emerges needing a new set of clothes 5 min after he was dressed.. an upset stomach sending another one into the bathroom for not 5 not 10 but 15 good minutes no matter how much I plead I finally give up knowing I am not winning this battle..he will be done when he's done..tick tock tick tock..I hear a lot from other Moms how lucky I am to have all boys, that girls require so much more fuss with their clothes hair etc..tell this to my 15 yr old who spends three times as long doing his hair then I do and freaks if his favorite jeans aren't washed.. today apparently wasn't a good hairday and between the straightener and the blow dryer nothing was working out for him.. all of this occurring at 2 min to 7:30 when I am set to leave. But like I told myself at least it wasn't like last Monday when I woke up to a flat tire and a big old screw sticking out of the sidewall...Yes Monday is almost over..the highlight of mine being:  Leaving my coffee on top of the car this evening only to drive off and listen to Jake shriek "Bird Poop" as it spilled all over his window..then believing it..driving to the car wash..sitting in there watching the magic bubbles reach for my coffee and it was "Ohhhhh really oops wow?!? That was my frikin coffee."

Loving Every Minute of It

I haven't written a ton lately.. I have been doing things like trying to stir up some business..cooking mad amounts of food..not eating enough..doing lots of homework..playing scrabble on my phone..talking more than I am listening..visiting the dentist..running around after boys..handwashing dishes..playing around..watching a little TVland..sleeping 5 hrs a night..thinking about Easter..thinking about the endless list of things I have to do..tonight I am taking a little break..half the house is almost clean..the rest can wait until tomorrow..my homework is all done except for my fav class which I will do this weekend..there is an Easter Egg hunt to be had in the morning and I think getting nails and toes done might sooth my soul a little..hope you have a great weekend whatever you may be diggin on..
