this post is going to ramble on and on…with many links.
you have been warned.
i am feeling quite talkative today.
let's start with this:
1. Francesca's
it's my new favorite store.
they had THE BEST jewelry.
my friend kim took me there after she read about it on PW.
i loved it.
2. i saw that there is a 50% off gift certificates sale at MyPublisher now through mother's day.
that is a great deal!
i think i will buy myself some gift certificates. :)
3. i received a book in the mail yesterday.
it was sent to me from the publisher…
by request of maxwell gillingham-ryan.
????
cool.
IT IS AN AWESOME BOOK!
i love it.
it is kind of like a super beautiful stylish ikea catalog.
is that insulting?
i hope not.
the point is small spaces….kind of like ikea.
the book is full of unique artsy rooms.
i am thrilled to own it.
it comes out May 11.
4. we are moving right along on the dining room.
the wallpaper is all gone and we will begin painting today.
5. i am a guest blogger today.
and because i am a total ding dong…it's the same post.
i was asked to do it by two people on the same day.
and somewhere over the course of the week i made them into the same person.
(melissa and erin ARE very similar names….right?)
so i only wrote one post.
duh.
they are both great sites….very different sites.
but both have the same post today.
my fault.
but go read them anyway!
320 * Sycamore and today's mama
Kimberlee J. - Maybe I should’ve purchased that watch…
Leigh - I am a HUGE Francesca’s fan! I don’t go very often because dangerous things happen with my wallet.
Courtney Walsh - Oooh, the dining room will be so fun! Can’t wait to see it when you’re done! 🙂
Bringing Pretty Back - Just pourd my coffee and I am sitting here sipping and reading your blog while the family is sleeping… heavenly way to start my day.
Musings Of A Gem - Hope you had a nice mothers day : ) I read 302 sycamore too 😀 Great blog!

Christina - You are so funny…I call myself a ding dong, too. Like the old-school cakes. Soft and spongy on the outside, full of fluff on the inside. haha That refers to me, not you. 🙂 I think you are awesome. I think Ding Dongs are pretty cool too. haha
Why am I leaving this comment, I’m not sure. I hope it is not offensive.
And your dining room project is totally amazing…when you are done with that, feel free to come here, fix up our house and take pictures of my kids. 🙂
DreamGirlLisa - I can’t wait to see the finished dining room!! Nice post(s) about mothers, you inspire as always, thanks!!

Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Awesome guest post! Great words. Thank you, Meg and Happy Mother’s Day!
Dana@Bungalow'56 - I am always so pleased to find a new post. I wish you all the best this Mother’s Day Weekend. I was thinking about your pillows today, and your photography, and your lovely writing voice. You have been given many talents. Thank you for sharing them with us. I for one am very appreciative.
Dana
sarah - I went and read the post.
It’s perfect. So perfect that it is in fact ok that it’s posted for two separate blogs.
You put into words everything I feel that I can’t express as well as you.
Happy early Mother’s Day Megan!
julia - I made a book on MyPublisher and love them…well, not the price but the quality is amazing.
Leigh - meg, that was beautiful!
Leigh
Julie - As a renter, Apartment Therapy has been a great place for me to visit! I love it! and I love that now there’s a book!
Kevyn - Hi Meg…I just stumbled upon your site this week. First off- I love your blog and all it entails…your home is so dreamy and you display a very realistic- yet FUN looking family. I have a question. Do you take custom orders for pillows…?
I am also a photographer and love what I do. Thanks for sharing your talents with the world.

Lori - I went to find Francesca’s after reading PW too. Loved it!
And great Mother’s Day post…yes, good enough to be in two places at one time! 🙂 Have a good day on Sunday!
Liz - Your guest blog post is AMAZING! Thank you! I really needed something like that! Happy Mother’s Day!
Jill - Thanks for the guest blogs. It couldn’t have come at a better time. I needed some mama inspiration to keep me going with these two boys of mine! Thank you.
On another note, we made your stuffed shells the other night and loved them. Keep sharing recipes that you use to feed that big family of yours. I’m going to need them with another boy on the way!
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - That is quite an honor! Now I’m off to check out all your links. Happy Mother’s day Meg:)
melissa*320 sycamore - I wish your guest post had been on 100 blogs today, because it’s something every mom needs to hear. Thank you again, Meg! Good luck with the dining room~can’t wait to see. Happy Mother’s Day~
Rachel / cREaTe - love that you merged 2 people [hilarious]. 🙂 but loved your mother’s day guest-post EVEN MORE. made me cry. so well written, so many WONDERFUL points. and the photos speak volumes to the lives your children are leading [as always]. such an awesome post – glad it can be found in TWO places in the internet world. 😉
Shar - The guest posts were so awesome. I got tears in my eyes just from the emotion. Enjoy those kids because it goes by way too fast. Now, I am a grandmother and it is going by way too fast. Happy Mother’s Day to someone who appears to be a #1 Mom!
Michelle - Can’t wait to see the dinning room. I showed my hubby the pic of the pipe from your post earlier this week. . . he told me this morning he woke up in a cold sweat last night dreaming about finding the same pipe in our house. ha! Totally different subject. . . but every time I see the commercials for the McGruger movie I think of you. . . . wonder if it will be as funny?
Queen Bee - Oh Meg, THANK YOU for the MyPublisher link!!! I get emails from them but delete them after a half glance. I use them to make a coffee table book every year of my daughter’s life. I wait until they have a BOGO or a B1Get-One-1/2-Off sale, and give a copy to my mom for Christmas. Combine those sales with this gift certificate savings and I’m in savings heaven!! Thank you!!!!!! I LOVE MyPublisher!
mel - I love Apartment Therapy, that book looks neat!
And, your chandelier is gorgeous!
