		<description><![CDATA[&#160; A few months back I saw this wall paper featured on one of my favorite blogs: &#160; &#160; It is Graham &#38; Brown&#8217;s Frames wallpaper.  You can attach your pictures directly to the wallpaper.  No frames or nails needed.  No pictures hanging crooked.  No holes in your walls.  No IKEA Ribba frames falling off the walls every time your kids bump the walls or slam their doors {not that my sweet children EVER do that!}. And, of course, my first thought was &#8220;I could totally do that myself.  All I need is a Sharpie!&#8221; That&#8217;s when I started noticing &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2013/05/22/design-love-wall-doodles/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post brought to you by CB2. All opinions are 100% mine. I&#8217;m not sure if you&#8217;ve ever heard of the Novogratz family.  I first heard about them on Design*Sponge, then realized that they are basically an empire of design.  They have an HGTV program, a book and now they have a collection at CB2. Since I&#8217;ve been talking this week about design and home decor that I love, I thought I&#8217;d introduct you to CB2 and Novogratz Collection.  It is full of &#8220;vintage modern&#8221; pieces in bright modern colors and crisp whites. If you&#8217;ve ever seen their show or &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2013/05/20/novogratz-collection-at-cb2-cb2novogratzbrasilsweepstakes/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I woke up so very thankful for this road we are on&#8230;knowing that it leads deeper into the kingdom that is coming every day. The pastor of the church gathering I attend always says we live in the &#8220;now and not yet&#8221;.  God&#8217;s kingdom broke in and began to come when Jesus entered the world and died to save it.  And it will crash completely to earth when he comes back and puts everything to right.  In the mean time, we are in process. But what a glorious process it is!  To be headed, every day, towards &#8220;Your kingdom &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2013/05/19/ahead/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; In color, neutrals or black &#38; white&#8230;you can find hexagons everywhere right now.  They add a touch of geometry to home decor, jewelry, kitchen essentials, nearly everything &#8211; and I&#8217;m nothing if not a math nerd.  They create amazing tessellations, and can incorporate triangles and diamonds in crazy ways.  However, the random repetition of hexagons is my favorite way to incorporate them into design.  I&#8217;m a pretty random person after all.  Here are some of the 18 billion ways hexagons and honeycomb patterns are showing up in designs I love. &#160; Sources {clockwise}: Shelves, Mirrors, Wall Art, Wall &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2013/05/15/design-love-hexagons-and-honeycomb/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

On top of all of that, he also gave be another amazing thing:  Anthropologie without any kids.  That&#8217;s right.  No one to ask me to leave, no one to almost break a $150 ceramic animal head, no one to try to jump on &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2013/05/14/instashopping-anthropologie-style/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Many of you know that my sister, Holly, ran the Boston Marathon this year.  4-15-13.  Her experience at the race has marked her life.  Returning to life as usual has been difficult for everyone who experienced this tragedy, and it is no different for Holly.   Our stories are powerful and sometimes just giving words to our experiences can begin to heal our wounds and lift our burdens.   In an effort to heal and find some kind of closure she asked me if she could tell her story here. ______________________________________________________________________________ &#160; &#160; Although the terrorist attack in Boston is not &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2013/05/07/inside-boston-one-runners-story/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Have you been there? The waiting game is so hard for us humans who desperately want to be in control.  We want to hurry things along and know where the finish line is.
