Haha, I know my comment won't be helpful, but I would be just as excited as your daughter for that bathroom! Maybe let go of perfectionism and allow your daughter to have some creativity in helping you make it "her" bathroom decor? :)

I'm enjoying Bloglovin' so far. :)

I would leave the tiles and paint the yellowy-creamy walls a more grey color. I've always found pink and grey to go fantastically together, so maybe that would help tie in the floor better. :)

When they break apart and crumb all over the place it just makes me wanna toss it into a bowl of milk and eat it with a spoon.

So if I'm going to eat a muffin, I'd prefer it cake-y and moist!

I agree with those who recommended ADT. When I moved into my own place, I didn't think I needed one, but my dad thought I did so he had one installed whether I liked it or not, haha! But it does help me feel safer.

But the best suggestion I can give you is to always be prepared. For example, when you're getting out of your car to go into the house, gather your things and get your keys ready in your hand BEFORE you unlock and open the car door. Someone showed me the little trick where you slip your keys through your fingers so you look like Wolverine and can hurt would-be attackers that way. I only do that if I'm REALLY paranoid, but it's better either way to just have your key ready to open your door so you don't stand there for five minutes either rooting through your purse or gathering your bags and giving someone lurking in the woods time to jump you. Be confident and quick in your movements.

Also, get yourself a corded phone, so if the power goes out, the phone still works. Cos cell phone batteries can still go dead if the power is out long enough!

If the house creaks and freaks you out, turn on music or the TV or audio/video on your computer, just to have some company other than the purring cats. :)

Hope that helps! GOOD LUCK! :)
