Blog

WELCOME!

Hola peeps! Welcome to Casa de Lewis. We are twenty somethings who got married in 2010, bought a house in 2011, and are now trying to get it all together in 2012! We both started our careers as CPAs and now Reagan works for the Boys & Girls Club and I have my own photography business. I blog about crafts, photography, DIY projects, sweet treats, random life tidbits, and things I love! The design and migration from Blogger is still in the works, so thanks for being patient! And thanks for stopping by! Snoop around, why dontcha :)

Office Organization

The main issue with our office was a serious lack of organization. If you know me, you know I am not a “neat” person. (My poor mother is nodding her head right now…or she might be laughing out loud thinking that is the understatement of the year). Honestly, it is something that I still am working on. I am slooowly finding my inner organization freak. I’ve realized that my only hope is if EVERYTHING has a place. So while our office is very much still in limbo, I’m close to being done with our office closet. Huge makeover. Took off the sliding door, added shelves, painted everything, and those cute bins that I have been hoarding are finally being put to use! No seriously, every time I go into Marshalls or HomeGoods I come out with cute bins. Now they finally have something in them! Here is just a sneak peek!

MarieRoxanne - Baskets are the best! You can shove your stuff in and it’ll still look organized! I especially like that old coca cola wood one.

Jenna - Love your blog….love baskets! They really help to keep me and my house organized! Check out my blog if you get a chance. My latest project was inspired by the paint color on your front door! wifeinprogressblog.wordpress.com

Wake up in the mornin’…

Somehow, at only 4 months old, Sweet P already has about 7 nicknames. One of them is P Lily, also shortened sometimes to P Lil. I’ve always said this is her rapper name. And for whatever reason, I would always start singing to her, “Wake up in the morning feeling like P LILY” from the Ke$ha song Tick Tock that really says, “Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy”. Well, when you spend your life talking to a 4 month old baby all day, you have ample amount of time to add more lyrics. So one morning when P Lil was in her nike sweats and gangsta hoodie, I snapped her photo and documented our song. Hence, I give you our version -

*No, I am not a terrible mother. No, this song is not suited for a 4 month old baby or any young child or any teenager even. Yes, we rarely get out of our pajamas. Yes, we do get crunk.

Then & Now

I’ve been printing all of Sweet P’s photos and getting her first photo album in order! It’s nothing too fancy, but I am pretty excited about it. I’ll share with you the cool albums that I found and how I plan to incorporate regular photos and iphone pics, all in a super easy, no fuss way. I’m just waiting on a few things to come in the mail and then I’ll be able to show you! Anyways, while I was going through pics I came across this one from her second day in the hospital and it reminded me of one that I took just recently of P and her dad…

She’s grown so much! Reagan and I noticed this weekend how much lighter her hair has gotten. It looks a little auburn in this pic but it isn’t really in real life. The four month time frame has been SO fun. She sleeps, she eats, she smiles, she plays…I just love it. It is crazy to watch her grow and learn to use her hands, eat from a spoon, use her feet to stand and grip the floor. All the little things that you don’t think about!

I just love these two pictures and these two people :)

Mom - You just brought tears to my eyes. You are the most loving, calm mother- I couldn’t be prouder of you. I love these 2 people too and I love you bug time!

Mom - Did you know that you can’t edit a comment on this website after you push post. And when you can’t type, that is a real problem. That would be “big” time!

Lisa @ A Little Slice of Life - So precious! My Little Man is nearly four and I can’t believe how big he is. It really does go by fast.

Heather - I am dying to hear about your photo album organization plan. I’m expecting my first baby in June and organizing her photos is already stressing me out…I need a PLAN! Haha! Can’t wait to hear how you’re is working out for you.

Egggggcellent

Yeah, cheesy, overdone title, I know. I don’t care! I am cheesy. And overdone? …moving on.

We decorated Easter eggs with my little Liesl my niece’l this weekend! I love taking pictures of things like this. I wish I could come into everyone’s home and document these moments because they are so special. Easter eggin’. Let’s do this.

I love this face!

While the eggs were drying, Grandy and Liesl did some activities from an Easter book that Grandy gave her. That Grandy always has another trick up her sleeve!

Cradling her egg :)

Liesl, can I have your eyelashes?!

Aaaaaand done. Looks at those gems!
