So I’m sure you’ve noticed that I have a real girly girl on my hands (which is quite funny).


Shenzie in full gear with her crown, pink hoodie, purple pj’s, and black and pink tutu.

A little side story….when I was a teenager I was a wanna be rebel. Part rebel, part tomboy, and not too girly girl. I vowed if I ever had a daughter she would NEVER wear pink. Hahahah, how my Mom laughs at me now.


I’m the weirdo on the right with my boys hanes v neck, black tights underneath cutoff shorts. Ahhh, the good old days. =)

I will say, when the babies were little there wasn’t much color choice for girls. Pink, white, and purple. White got dirty too fast, I HATE purple, so pink it was. I did manage to find them black after much searching, but pink was the name of the game.

So fast forward to 3.3 years and my oh so girly girl who refuses all things not pink. Ok, so that is not entirely true, she will wear purple (which I HATE), red (which I HATE), and on occasion brown (which I DON’T hate). Most days it is pink, and we even went thru a phase where I had to spray sparkles on her clothes to get her to wear them. Thank GOD that one is over!

So anyway…..when the twinzies were little they shared a room. Since we knew we were having a boy and a girl we did a neutral theme of green, yellow, cream and dragonflies. When they were 17 months they got their own rooms with Shenzie moving me out of my office and her moving in. The walls were white and dull, there were no decorations on the walls, basically it was just not cute.

Since I’m fairly certain we aren’t having more kids I really embraced my inner girly girl and gave Shenzie the room of her dreams! When Uncle Levi first painted the walls pink she was over the moon in hog heaven! Since then we added curtains, dots, her own toy chest, and today we finished it off with her name letters. Back when I was crafty I used to make these name letters for all of my nieces and nephews, and have had the letters sitting in the closet for like 2 years. I FINALLY got off my tush and completed them.

Needless to say Shenzie LOVES them, LOVES her cotton candy room, and LOVES that it is just hers and not “Heatnees”. I still have a few art projects and photos to hang, but I’m pretty much done and couldn’t be happier with her barfola pink room. =)

I also finished her bow holder (which btw sissies is not NEARLY as cute as your guys).

Now onto finishing up Heatens room in Choo Choo’s, trucks, and all things boy!
