Where Our Princesses Sleep

I wanted to do a post on the sweetness of little girls' rooms.  My 2 favorite rooms in the house are Katherine's and Abigail's.  I want to always remember the soft colors, girliness and the calm I feel when I am in them.  I know several years from now they will both be teenagers and probably have posters plastered on their walls and pictures of friends in frames instead of their family and parents that right now they think are pretty awesome.  Here are some pics of their precious rooms.

Abigail's Nursery:

Katherine's "Big Girl" Room:

The plates on the wall in Katherine's room are especially sweet.  Mama Anne, who recently passed away, bought a set for my sister and me on one of her trips to England.  It is special to look at that wall every day and think of Mama Anne, how dear she is to all of us, and her travels.

I had to share this precious poem our sweet neighbor and friend, Donna gave to Abigail for her birthday.

 I have to admit- I love everything girly- pink, tutus, dress up, princesses- the whole nine yards.  I think the princess movement (that I am just starting to be engulfed into) is mostly precious.  I love the emphasis on being kind, loving and generous to others and being respectful to yourself and others while waiting on your prince charming.  However, my hope and prayer is that my girls' truly understand who's princess they truly are.  That their heavenly Father is the King of heaven and earth and that in Christ they are adopted daughters of the King, making them princesses.  I have this poem in a special place in Abigail's room where we look at it every day, and I read it to her often.

So, Katherine and Abigail, you both are truly princesses, and I love kissing your foreheads and saying prayers every night tucked into your  princess beds.

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."  Philippians 4:8
