I tried to stay away from Harper but I still knew it would probably happen. We wound up at the ER yesterday morning to be told Harper had the flu also (regular flu or swine flu - who knows at this point what we have?) She was up all night Saturday night and then had a fever Saturday morning. I could just tell in her eyes that she didn't feel good. I'm so glad we went because we were the ONLY ones in the ER so we got right in and out. Poor baby.
The good news is that she woke up this morning back to her old self - smiling with no fever. So I think the worst is behind us. We both are going to stay home and inside until at least Thursday to make sure we don't spread our germs and to make sure we are good and healthy. We are hanging out in our pj's.
In other news - my guest bedroom bed cover needed to be replaced desperately so I have had my eyes open. I wanted something to match the gold curtains and the black furniture but that would warm up the room. And I found this on clearance at T J Maxx last week.
But we are moving along just as usual!

I really like it! I think it looks much better, don't you?
I am going to have a great giveaway on here later today or tomorrow so check back. If you like to have a clean house (I started to say if you like to clean - but who does?) - or if you have kids and pets that make a lot of messes - I have something that might help! I'll have it up soon so be on the lookout! So exciting!
Stay Healthy! :-)

Guest room looks great! I love the print of Harper on the wall - where did you get that done?
Love what you did to your guest room! I am glad your both feeling better!!
Love the picture of Harper on the wall, everything looks so good together. Hope you all get well soon!
I hope you two are feeling better soon!
My daughter has those same pajamas Harper is wearing!
The guest room looks great! Our spare bedroom in our apartment has turned into a room with my desk, the printer, bookcases and now the pack and play! It's the room we put everything without a place into. I can't wait to have a home someday so I can decorate too :)
So glad to hear your feeling much better, it's so hard to keep the little ones healthy when somebody is sick in the house. I'm just glad to hear your getting better.
I hope you and Harper feel better soon! I am a first grade teacher and I am praying and trying to avoid the flu! Thank you for all of your wisdom, insight, prayers, and of course recipes! Take care!

I love your updated guest room! We just bought a new house (in mississippi) and I am having the hardest time finding appropriate decorations for my two guest rooms! Would love to see more of your ideas! :)
I do like the new guest room. It really warms up the space. Hope you two are on the road to a full recovery. I'm just hoping little Lauren doesn't get sick with her baby gymnastics class and other things going on.....Did you get the email from our mutual friend Amanda :)
SO happy to hear you and Harper are feeling better! Your guest bedroom looks gorgeous- I love all of the pillows! XOXO
I'm glad you're both feeling better. I really like the updates for the guest room. The colors are so rich and it looks warm and inviting. Great job! Hope you all get and stay well!

Hope you all feel better soon!
I love Target's clearance sections :) The comforter looks great.
I see new bedding, more pillows, a new lamp, and a pretty picture on the wall. LOVE the guest bedroom.
Amazing how something as simple as a bed cover can make a room look so great. Love it!!!
Love Harper's PJ's! Wish they made those in an adult size:) Glad you are both feeling better!

FEEL BETTER!!
LOVE the comforter! I'm glad you all are recovering nicely.
I'll check back for your giveaway! I'm celebrating my one year of blogging with a giveaway right now as well. Stop by if you can! :)
Glad to here that y'all are feeling better! I love Harper's pj's, they are too cute!
I just put a little something in the mail - to brigthen your day. When I say little - it is nothing.
So glad you are on the mend and so is Harper. Be sure to keep that heat no higher than 70 - it just breethes bacteria - I was just reading.
And, love the guest bedroom. I found some pre personalized pillowcases for nothing at TJ Max...the S ones would look so good as an extra set on your bed...the thread is a super rich brown. I love three levels of pillows...so I'm a bit addicted. I'll be posting a new pic of mine in a bit.
loves.
I hope you and Harper feel better soon! I will pray that y'all are healthy and that Scott doesn't get it so that it doesn't get in the way of your mission trip. God Bless!
I hope yall feel better soon! Love the new guest bed set! And that pretty picture of harper above it! looks great!
Love the guest room update! It looks so warm and inviting! Hope yall are feeling better and praying Scott doesn't catch whatever it is yall have got!
Praying that your family is healthy! Love the new guest bedroom. Can't wait for the giveaway. I'm getting on a spring cleaning trip now. I know, a little late, or early!
Glad to hear everyone is better. My 7 month old son had the flu last week, luckily he is recovering quickly, but he felt really bad for a couple of days.
So sorry you both were sick, but glad to hear you are on the mend! We had flu here for over a week and complications!
I can't believe how one bedspread could change a room so drastically! Big difference, it looks wonderful!
Kelly: I'm so sorry that you and Harper are both so sick with the flu! My Sister-in-Law is sick with it too and they have 3 little ones so we are all praying that everyone stay's healthy! I love what you did with the bedroom! So elegant! My husband and I just built a new home and are still putting finishing touches on it now and I am all about getting decorating ideas. Especially with colors. I love your blog and I enjoy reading it! I will be praying for you and for Harper and praying that both you girls will be feeling much better very soon!
Praying for you!
~ Amy from GA
Feel better soon!
That bedspread makes the room shine! It looks amazing!
firstly and most importantly Kelly I am sending you and Harper healing thoughts from across the big pond. Hope you will both be back to full health very very quickly.
Secondly love the look of your guest room now - we are so behind on those sort of things in the UK, but we are catching up.
Thirdly and you probably don't want to hear this when you are feeling poorly - I love to clean and my all time favourite is ironing, sad I know but someone has to like these things.
Take care.
xx
So glad to hear that you all are on your way to recovery!!
I love, love that new comforter! I was totally amazing to me to see the difference. It looks so much warmer, and so cozy!! Great find!
So, so glad you are both feeling better:) I love what you picked out for your guest room. It really does warm it up great. Gotta love TJ Maxx!
Oh!!! I love it!! Isn't TJ Maxx the best? You can find the greatest stuff! :)
Praying that you both feel better soon! Love the guest room. It looks great! Blessings~Lori
Glad you are both feeling better.
Love the new bed cover!!! Great choice.
The guest room looks GREAT! I'm gonna have to hit me up some TJ Maxx!

We love PJ days! But at least she still has her hair done! :)
I did not even notice the picture of Harper at first until I scrolled up and down again to see the difference! Lovely room and BEAUTIFUL picture of Harper!
The guest room looks great! Love the new bedding! TJ Maxx always has great bedding and sheets!
Oh no! I am sorry Harper's sick but glad she's feeling better. We were watching the national news last night and they were talking about a young high school football player in Arkansas (Little Rock, maybe?) who had a bad bout of Swine Flu. It must be more prevalentthere.
Love the new comforter/bed spread -it really does warm up the room - it's BEAUTIFUL! :o) Poor Harper - I hope you both get to feeling better real soon. xoxoxo
The guest room is quite lovely! I am happy to hear that both you ana Harper are on the mend.
Glad you both are on the mend. Just hoping Scott doesn't get what you have. Love the new look of the guest room!! :)
I'm SOOOO sorry you two are sick! I'm glad to hear the worst of it is behind you. Bless your sweet hearts! I wish everyone reading this would do as you are doing...staying home until you are well. Feel better soon!
Get better soon you girls! By the way, the bedroom looks great!
Oh I'm so sad Harper got it! But glad she's better. And just for the record, I'm pretty suspicious that either one of you actually has/had the flu...who can look that good with the FLU???:-) I tell you that I did NOT. Ha. Maybe I needed someone (Lance?) to put a bow in my hair those three days that I felt like dying!
Love the guest room. Mine is in serious need of some decor repair. I at least need a shower curtain before Lance's parents arrive on the 21st. I only have a clear plastic one right now...kind of creepy!
I love the new bedding!! Oh, and I am one of the crazy people that actually enjoy cleaning:)
So glad you're feeling better! What a productive quarantine, though- the room looks fantastic! :)
Hope you two feel better soon!!
I can't wait! I actually like to clean, it the getting the house ready to be cleaned that stinks! I think I have an idea of what it is so I will be checking back alot until then!!
SO sorry to hear that you AND Harper are sick. Did I see correctly that Harper wears a matching bow with her PJs? :)
Your guest room is wonderful and so inviting--I wish I coudl go there now:)
Looks great! I'm so sorry your little one got the flu!
You girls get well soon. My Miss Priss got the flu last year at 10 months and it's amazing how fast they bounce back. :) Here are many prayers for a happy healthy Mommy & Baby!
And they guest room looks beautiful, amazing what a new bed spread can do! :)
Does not sound like fun! But, I love the new look. I am ready for something new, but the guest room is going to be baby #3's room. The new guest room will have to wait until we finish the basement.
Hope you two start feeling better very soon! My daughter has the flu too so we are also in quarantine. I love the new bedding for your guest room...great find!
Poor little baby girl (and mommy too). Hope yall start feeling better soon. Great new guest room- just got back from TJ Maxx myself. I think God gave us women "The Maxx" as a little taste of heaven. :)
I'm so sorry that sweet Harper is sick. I have been so worried about this awful flu going around. My 20 month old daughter has Reactive Airway Disease and I'm scared to death of her getting in the flu, but it actually sounds like it's not that bad. Keep us posted on Harper. I'll be praying for her!
Awww, poor little sugarplum :( Kameryn hasn't been herself either, but I'm blaming it on her non-stop teething.
Wow, amazing how one breadspread can totally transform a room! Beautiful!
Hope you both are back to 100% soon! And I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get sick! And I love the new bedspread! So cute! :)
I think the picture above the bed warms up the room more than the new bed cover! :) :)
Prayers and blessings,
Rebecca
Kelly, You poor things! Harper just looks pitiful in the first picture. I'm so glad you and she are feeling a little better. Lots of TV and jammies are in order :)
Your bedspread looks fab, btw!!
So glad to hear that you ladies are feeling better! I hope your road to recover continues swiftly. Boo to staying at home, but hooray for pjs!
Wow! The room looks FABULOUS!
Hope you guys are on the mend. Certainly no fun at your house right now.
So sorry that little Harper is sick too now! I'm glad to hear she's already feeling better though. :)
Your guest bedroom looks great!
I guess one benefit of being stuck inside the house is that you have plenty of time to catch up on blogging. :)
Love the new bed spread. That picture above the bed is gorgeous! Hope y'all stay healthy! :)
What a difference a new comforter can make. The room looks great. I'm not sure if you have received your flu shot yet, but you will need to know which flu you guys had so you don't have to get that flu shot. Which is great if you had strain A (aka swine flu). I'm glad you both are feeling better. I've been reading your blog for awhile, but this is my first comment. Thanks

Sorry to hear that you and Harper were both sick :( We had to take our 4 year old to the ER last week too for the flu! Not fun!!!
Your guest bedroom looks great!
I am hosting a give-a-way on my blog right now too. EVERYONE come check it out and sign up it's makeup!!! :)

AWWWW....Harper is so cute in her little pajamas...my little Emerson stayed in hers all day as well!!! Glad that ya'll are feeling much better!!
I love the new comforter set. The room looks completely different!
Glad you're both feeling better! My daughter and I both had the flu (probably H1N1 according to her doctor at the time) a couple months ago. They told me the very best thing I could do was just continue to nurse her as often as she wanted to, because I was sick first, so my milk had the antibodies in it. Isn't that amazing and cool???
Of course, it's impossible not to breathe on your child:), so she got sick but nowhere near as sick as I got, and I'm certain the antibodies in the breastmilk are why.
What a cool thing God designed:)
My husband and I were both SO sick the week after she was born...she didn't get a thing. Good old breastmilk again.
I'm so glad that Harper and you are feeling better! I know you weaned her just recently...not trying to say anything about that. Just sharing how excited I was that breastmilk helped my baby:)
The guestroom looks great!
Sorry you've both been sick. Although, Harper looks pretty darn good for not feeling well. Hope you're both back your old selves quickly.
Your guest room is gorgeous!
Glad you and Harper are feeling better :)
Hurrah for feeling better! Hope you are both continuing to be on the mend.
Love that guest room - beautiful!
Cxx
Oh, and PS Thank you for the kind comment on my blog the other week (apologies for not thanking you sooner, I was out of town) - you are so welcome!
Cxx
Glad you guys are starting to feel better and glad to see even the flu wont keep a bow off that sweet baby!!!!
I don't usually post on blogs, but I really liked the mini room makeover you did. :) The change of comforter made a huge difference, but the picture of Harper on the wall just ties it all in beautifully and the room looks so elegant. Great job on a simple redo of the room! You have fantastic taste!
It looks great! I think the picture of Harper on the wall adds the perfect touch to the room :-)
Love the guest room and glad ya'll are feeling better, sounds like the same story just a different location. Anna had it (ER trip) then I had it. Thank the Lord the baby didn't get it. Wanted to comment on the O.C.C. button! Love that Way to promote it Kelly!
I was so hoping and praying Harper wouldn't get it! :( I can relate...I teach and got swine flu (hazard of the job! Ha!) and was out for 4 days...then my hubby and 2 year old got it and I was out another 3 days taking care of them. Yuck! Glad you and she seem to be on the mend and hoping your hubby doesn't get it. I did crack up at your "Love them Hogs" title. :)The new bedspread really changes the whole room! Oh-and I loved your anniversary post! One of my all time favorite songs. It was cute to see you two over the years.
I'm glad Harper is feeling more like herself! I'm sooo hoping Josefine doesn't get sick...but, only the Lord knows and He's in control!
I love the bed...very sophisticated...and that picture of Harper above it; beautiful!
btw, my word verification is "thedbed" which, I read "The D Bed" I don't know what the "d" would stand for, but, it goes with your post and your new bed cover!
Poor Harper!!! I hope she only gets better from here.
And yes, the new bedspread really changes the look of the room! It's great!!
I hope you guys feel better soon! The flu SUCKS! The guest bedroom looks GREAT! Good work!
That Harper sure is one stylin' girl -- she sure knows how to accessorize her pj's.
Hope you are both feeling better soon.
Love the new guest room, the pic above the bed is my favorite new accessory.
Glad ya'll are feeling better!
So glad you are both on the mend. We know first hand how yucky the flu makes you feel!
And yes, your guest bedroom looks fabulous!
Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,
Kim
So sorry you both have been sick! Glad you are on the mend. Love the guest room.
Poor little Harper! I'm glad she is feeling better so quickly! She is just precious!!
Hope you guys all stay well now through the holiday season!
Feel better soon!!!!
The guest room looks gorgeous!!! You have such good taste! :)
The guest room looks great. Harper looks so cute in her little PJ's. I am glad she is feeling better.
Those PJ's are too cute! The guest bedroom looks great! Love the gold and black together!
Bless her heart!!! And yours!! I know how hard it is to have sick babies!! Mine are sick right now too!! I LOVE your new bedding!!!! LOVE LOVE IT!!!!
That flu sounds like no fun!
What a cutie in her pjs! Hope you're both feeling back to normal soon. I am so anxious to read your compassion blogging. Praying in advance about your trip!
Glad ya'll are feeling better! It's so miserable especially for a baby being sick.
Love the new comforter! It looks so good!!
Hi, Kelly - I'm glad that you and little Harper are getting over the flu - my whole crew of 3 kids plus the two of us had the swine flu last month. I was pleasantly surprised that my little girl (7 mo) only had a high fever for one day, and just low grade with runny nose for the rest of the time. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. Your bedding looks beautiful - I love TJ Maxx (I was just there last night with Sonic Diet Vanilla Coke no ice in hand - my favorite drink too!). Hope you guys are totally 100% by the time your trip rolls around!
-Carrie
My daughter Stella had the same jammies last year. I was so upset when she outgrew them. I love your new comforter set and Harper's picture over the bed. Hop everyone is feeling better soon!
Kate had the (swine?) flu a month ago, and we were really scared for a could hours, but like Harper, she bounced back pretty quickly. It's frightening, especially with all the pandemic hype!
What? I left town for a long weekend and you two people fell apart? Stop that! Get well! And look for a great antique chair for that pretty gold room. Blessings to you three.
PRAYING FOR HEALTH AND ENERGY THIS SEASON AND ALWAYS! LOVE YOUR BLOG AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. GOD HAS BLESSED YOU AS ONLY **HE** CAN DO!! Love to see it all.
I love it!!! It would match my bedroom perfectly...guess I am going to have to make a trip to T.J. Maxx!! Hope you both feel better soon!!!
the new bedding looks much better!! hope you all feel better soon. love your blog!!
Love the new bedding! Hope you girls get to feeling better soon.
Dear Harper and Kelly...I just prayed that God would bring you all good health. I'm sad your both feeling sick:( I hope you feel better soon. God Bless you both very much.
sorry you're all feeling yucky! the guest room looks fab! Don't you just LOVE TJ Maxx???? Hope you guys recover from the yucks very soon!
Love Harper's outfit and love the new bedding! I found a great set for our guest bedroom at TJ Maxx a couple of months ago - love that place. Hope you and Harper stay well and have a great week!
Guest Bedroom looks awesome! Dontcha just love how it makes you feel when your interior decorating just comes together? Smooches to lil Harper, and praying that you both feel better!
Love the guest room! Great comforter, glad you got a great deal!
Glad that Harper is feeling better..hate that you two were sick :(
Prayers lifted for a speedy recovery! :)
((hugs & blessings))
I hope you both feel better soon!
I love the room makeover-it looks great!
The room looks much better.
Harper is just as cute as always!
Y'all feel better soon.
Happy you and Harper are okay! You tend to alarm and make us think you're sicker than you are; so glad that you and the Miss are healthy.
Kelly I am sorry that Harper got sick too, but so glad it didn't get too bad. Hope both of you will feel all better real soon!
Wow! What a difference the new bedding made in your guest room. And the big picture of Harper just sets it all off. Very nice job!
Harper's Pj's are so cute. And she even has a bow in her hair even when she is sick. I can't believe she will always leave those on her head. I always see babies trying to take them off.
I just had my 100th post. I just started blogging in December last year. So, anyway I am giving away the Heaven book by Randy Alcorn. It is a great book,...have you read it?
Hope you will keep taking care of yourselves, and that Scott doesn't get it next. I'm praying!
Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
Yes it looks great! That's a pretty set for sure and it looks good with the gold frame over the bed. Great find! Hope y'all are all feeling better and hope you don't get cabin fever!
So sorry Harper got sick but glad it didn't last long. It was inevitable. I love how she has bows to match her PJ's--ADORABLE!!! :)
And the new comforter looks GREAT!
Hope that Scott doesn't get sick and that you and Harper stay healthy now that you're on the up & up.
:) Have a good day!
We are praying that you get better quickly. We've been lucky enough to miss the flu so far. I hope that Scott stays strong!! Your comforter is fantastic =)
Kelly, I had a question for you about one of your ealier blogs, but can't figure out how to email you...
So glad you guys are feeling better!!! Also, that is the cutest sleeper ever! I am a sucker for polka dots!!!
awww i HATE that harper has the flu too. but at least now you can just hold her and ya'll can be sick together. i can't imagine not holding her for a week! hope ya'll get better soon.
and that new bedspread makes the room look AMAZING! i love it! great deal!
and i didn't comment on the post below, but oh my goodness, i LOVED it. that was so so sweet. happy anniversary to you and scott. hope ya'll get to celebrate soon!
southern love and prayers from alabama!
oh, and please keep baby stellan in your prayers. he will be going to boston on thursday and planning for another ablation next tuesday.
Aww, poor Harper! :( I work at a daycare and in the past three weeks we have had 6 different kids sick. One has the swine flu and two of the other ones have been sick more than once. I hope she (& you!) feel better soon!!
Aw, I'm sorry to hear you both got the flu. It's hard being sick as moms, but it's even harder watching our little munchkins get sick. Hope you are on the mend!
The bedding in the guest room looks great! Glad you both are feeling better!
I just recently found your blog and love it! It's awesome! Please stop by my place later today... I have a little award for you. :)
Kelly

I have a cute picture I would like to attatch, but I am a brand new blogger, and I don't know how. Suggestions?
I'm sorry that you and Harper were sick, but I'm so glad you're starting to feel better. Hang in there :)
What a transformation! I love the photo of Harper above the bed - great job!
Yuck...hope you both feel better soon!!
The new bed spread looks great. What a difference. Great find! I love TJ Maxx!!!
I am praying that you and Harper get better very quickly and Scott doesn't catch anything.
I hope y'all feel better. I have the flu too and am 22 weeks pregnant so I feel your pain. This is nasty stuff! Love the new bed spread. The room looks great!
I LOVE the guest room! And I hope you and Harper feel better soon! Poor thing!
Forgot to mention , I love the guest room -- that new spread makes the room "pop"! Great choice!! Hope you & Harper are feeling better! =)
Love the bedroom comforter, it looks like a different room.
So sorry Harper got sick but I am so glad to hear that she is feeling better. I am praying that you both get back to 100% very soon. I LOVE the PJs she has on in the photos. They are adorable. Makes me want a little girl right now! And that comforter is gorgeous. What a great find. When I am back on both of my feet again I have planned a massive reorganization of our guest rooms and hope to find some new decor for them.
