Greetings Friends, Family, Fellow Blogging Community!! I'm a 30-something year old music teacher and enthusiastic self-taught decorator, who loves to spend time with my tremendously talented and handsome one-of-a-kind husband, Jon, our two amazing children, Clara and Carson, and my wonderful loving family and friends!! I love all things creative and artsy, including design, music, dance, art, scrapbooking, you name it!! I decided to commence this blog in order to create a fun and creative on-line journal showcasing the exciting adventurous journey of the Botbyl family, and in order to keep in touch with and hopefully inspire other individuals, like myself who love to share a wonderful life's design consisting of love of family, friends, and creative living!! Please leave me a message/comment if you decide to visit my blog, or add yourself to my list of "followers" so that I can visit your awesome blog or Facebook!! Look extremely forward to hearing from you!! Have an incredibly amazing day!!

Summer lovin!

 
I can hardly believe how tremendously fast time is going by. It's literally a blink of an eye isn't it? I must take this opportunity to freeze time for a moment and enthusiastically reflect on life and post a couple whole bunch of summer photos while Clara is on a short trip with my parents and Jon is performing with his dance band for his monthly wedding showcase. (I should be cleaning the house right now.) I enjoy blogging so much and I haven't kept Botbylsmile as up to date as I'd like.

My handsome little prince is growing faster than ever, although he's still a teeny little runt. To know him is to love him - he has a permanent smile printed on his face - such an incredibly happy little guy! Clara's such a drama queen, but what can I say, she's my mini me! Spending time with her is amazing, she's so precious! Hope everyone is having an amazing summer so far and receiving quality time to spend with your little ones...or big ones...or husband, family, friends etc.

I've been attempting to be uber productive this summer and am planning to create a couple of posts dedicated to DIY projects/home improvements (which will hopefully happen some time this month.) There are a few exciting projects/improvements that we've been consumed with, and can't wait to share. We also have a whole new system for uploading photos and I haven't quite caught onto it yet so I'm learning as I go, but it's been way more difficult for me to organize/save/keep track of photos, which slightly frustrates me, and I'm trying to make sure I'm able to post photos of projects, organized spaces, design solutions, renovations, tips, examples etc for you when I blog about them, in case you might be interested in trying some of these projects as well, or just checking out some of our spaces if you'd like? Please stay tuned for future posts with tons of DIY DIY DIY and thanks so much for stopping by! Back to our collection of summer photos:

Again, Thank you so much for stopping by (it means so much to me) and God bless!
