Please help!

I am need of help! Blain and I got this really pretty comforter set a few days ago. A 4pc Cal King set for $50.00...such a steal as Cal King sets usually run anywhere from 200-350 dollars! But now, the curtains don't match! And because we have red everywhere else and that's what I'm used too, I'm not sure what color/pattern curtains I should get to match a royal/plum color. So I need advice, suggestions, do and don'ts...I need HELP!!!

Our Valentine's Day!


We had a great Valentine's Day this year! Because of the rain, we couldn't spend the day outside, but we did hang around the house and just spend the time together.

Goodies I left out for Blain and the girls! Emily got a teeshirt, Blain recieved some truffles and Madison got some tattoos, head bands and priness candies.I made pancakes for breakfast! For Madison, I made them pink and heart shaped!
My sweetheart!


Our tattoos!



Blain got us flowers! Left to Right: I got red roses, Emily got yellow roses and Madison got white and pink carnations.


Chocolate Covered Strawberries! So yummy!


Cupcakes that Madison helped me make!

This little girl is such a big helper! And she wants to do it all by herself!

Today, she is 6 months old...

Emily is 6 months old today! These past 6 months have been emotional, tiring, unpredictable and so wonderful! One big thank you goes out to everyone (family and friends) who helped us transition into becoming a family of 4. If it was through providing meals or just prayers and support, all of it was so greatly appreciated. And while I think it took a few months to really get comfortable with having two kids and balancing all that needed to be done, I think that now I have a pretty good handle on it all and have become great at multi-tasking!
What do I think has been the biggest lifesaver? The fact that both girls really like each other! Madison can get Emily to laugh when I can't and she has never once been mean or aggressive to Emily. The moment Emily starts to fuss...Madison runs over to her saying "I'm comin' Emily, it's okay!" and that is just a reminder of the bond that has already formed between them.
So Happy 6 Month Birthday my baby...I love you more than I can say.
