What we stumble upon...


Explanation: 
This was supposed to be my post for yesterday, but alas I could not sit down to my computer to do it until 11:30pm.  By that time...who cares?!! Right? 
I had a life long friend (and Photoshop Guru) over helping with some photo editing stuff. While learning about image sizes, pixel counts, and print size ratios, my brain stumbled upon a nagging random complaint I have had with my margins in my blog--how they are too close to the pictures leaving me unable to enlarge my images--not knowing a lick about html code to rewrite it (or the know-how to download free blog templates)--feeling quite the frustration over not being able to fully realize my creative genius (ha!) because of my retarded computer skills.

I was blah blah'ing about my blog. 

So she clicked over to my blog, found the code, clicked here and clicked there and bang! Bigger margins. Oh, and let me fix your header for you! Why thank you!  (Can you come over more often?!)

So on with my post... 
My beautiful McBean dreaming out the window. A penny for her thoughts?


I love coming into her room and stumbling upon her imaginary life displayed in random vignettes. They are like little windows into her imagination. Love the little bed with the blanket and pillow and the table for two, with the floral centerpiece. It's her little interior decorator revealing itself. Her love for her real home and the comfort it is to her. What she believes all homes should be.
(Though not all homes have a life size chocolate frosty cone by every rocking chair and floor lamp.)


And then sometimes I stumble upon vignettes like this...

I found this one morning after she left for school. A random cotton ball wearing Polly Pocket's blue Hollywoods. 
Captain Cotton Ball Man flying on his Disney Princess Game Boy cartridge while dodging a purple Polly high heel and a number 8 inspection sticker. 
Every time I look at this picture I am struck by daughter's sense of humor. I soooooo wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see her thought process with this one.

Sometimes stumbles are the best.
