Ok. It's been forever. I know. I know.  I could make excuses and I do have some up my sleeve, but what's the point? I missed you and hopefully you missed me too.  :) So, as you know my sister was pregnant. (Take a look { here }.) She no longer is and I have baby niece named Naomi!! Woo hoo!!! Finally, I have someone to buy all of those super cute girlie clothes for- so exciting!! Anywho, my sis and her hubby were planning their babymoon (for those of you unfamiliar with the term a babymoon is  a vacation taken by a couple that is expecting a baby, in order to allow the couple to enjoy a final trip together before the baby is born)  and I told her that I wanted to crash it. I mean fun in the sun without kiddos, how could I pass that up? Luckily she said yes and we started planning our trip. We decided on Mexico cuz my sister would be almost 8 months pregnant at the time, so we wanted her flight time to be as short as possible. My hubby ended up findin...

Hi hi. I'm am still basking in my vacation glow. If only the weather would really start to cooperate so that my transition from vacation to reality would be much easier. I'm catching up on old posts.  As you may remember, my sister is preggers and I'm going to be an aunty! My mom and I threw her baby shower at my house. Since my sister isn't going to find out if she is having a boy or a girl, the color theme for the party was pink, blue and a touch of silver. Here's what the foyer looked like: I got this local balloon guy, Jonathan , to make these cute little flower balloons (can't wait to move my seriously comfy, but very bulky couch upstairs to the play room and get a sofa upgrade in this room, but that will not be happening for a while): Said balloon guy, Jonathan, also made this lovely balloon arch over the buffet area (I was reliving my bat and bar mitzvah days). Yes, I need a real buffet and ye...

Hiiiii!!!!! I've missed you so. Too much work and a lot of stuff going on around on the home front has left poor StyleBurbia feeling quite neglected. While I clear out the cobwebs, I'll share a little bit of what I've been up to and what was so important that I didn't have time for you :(. So, first we had Christmas.  We had a ton of family over and we were lucky enough to have my sister celebrate with us from Cali and my brother-in-law from Colorado. Christmas pjs are a must in our house. Opening presents is tough work.. Lumberjack Christmas shirts.. Are we really playing with a box when Santa brought us all those gifts??? Hayden's 'cheese' face. We are working on it so it doesn't look quite so creepy... lol Once the holiday festivities were over, I had to change gears and get going on planning my sister's baby shower. Yes, I am going to be an aunty!!! Soooooo exc...
