Welcome to the 1st Annual BooMama Blog Tour of Homes! I can’t wait to see all of your posts and pictures – so in the spirit of the festivities, here are some snapshots of La Casa de BooMama.
You’ll have to forgive this first image. Since I’m at my parents’ house, I had to crop a picture of the outside of the house so that only the front door was showing (trying to protect my family from The Ring of Thieves, of course). But when I finally got it cropped on Daddy’s unfamiliar software, it turned a little smaller than I’d planned. You can get the idea, though.
This is our den – where we do all of our hanging out, TV watching, and some of our very best napping.
And then our master bedroom – with all shams, drapes, and throws made especially by Sister. She’s a talented one, she is.
The kitchen is pretty self-explanatory. It’s where we, you know, cook. My favorite thing is that the pantry door is covered with Boo’s artwork – which makes it functional AND decorative. You can’t see the rest of the cabinets, the refrigerator, or the breakfast area, so just close your eyes real tight and let your imagination run wild. :-)
And then, over in the corner of the den – the place where all the bloggy magic happens. With “magic” being a bit of an overstatement…but a whole lot of typing goes on in that chair after the little one goes to sleep.
Upstairs is A.’s room, his playroom / guest room, another guest room and a bath. It’s his little sanctuary up there, and it felt weird to me to post pictures of it. So, again, just close your eyes real tight…. :-)
And now that you’ve seen all I have to offer…SKEDADDLE. :-) Lots of great posts to read – and don’t forget to comment on them!
Remember, when you enter your link below, link to the specific Tour of Homes post – not just to your blog in general. We wouldn’t want anyone to get lost as they navigate their way through this new bloggy territory.
Happy tour travels to all! I’m so glad – and so grateful – that you’re sharing your homes with all of us. I can’t wait to stop by for a visit.
Beautiful home!
Love your home!!! So cute… I especially love your bedroom… And your entrance.
Gorgeous!
Beautiful! Just gorgeous. Love your decorating style. Thanks for hosting us!
You have such a beautiful home and this is just the neatest idea! I’ve just put up my own Tour — y’all come by. ;)
OOPS! How did I mess that up?
Love the front door! Thank you for the tour of your beautiful home and for presenting the idea!
I was late getting my tour posted today but stop by and see my humble abode.
Blessings!
~Tammy
I am sooo addicted to looking at all these great homes!
I love the fact that there are people from all over the world posting!!! AMAZING & GREAT idea!
Thank you for visiting me! Can you believe it? Double digit comments?! I was reading through some of your first posts last night, cracking up, & could not believe you did not have any (well, not many) comments! My how things have changed! Thanks for sharing the love, Boomama!!!
This was fun … I’m looking forward to veiwing everyone’s over the weekend. :)
This is just amazing! What a turn out and following you have here! THANKS! ~ jb///
Dear Boomama your house is just so so beautiful and thank you for doing this.
You don’t know what God is doing to me though this – I’ll it blog when I know.
God Bless.
You have a beautiful, inviting, and cosy home. What a great idea this tour of homes is too!
Hey there. Everyone has such beautiful homes, mine is really quite ordinary, but what the heck.
Tricia
Thanks . That was fun.
LOVE your entryway and kitchen!! :)
Beautiful home! I especially love the front porch. Thank you for sharing…and for starting this wonderful Tour of Homes.
Wow, how very impressive to get the autolinking to work so easily!
I saw a link to this a few days ago, and then didn’t get around to commenting or taking photos. Then a couple of hours ago I saw a post showing someone’s house, and thought I has missed the boat… so I was very pleased to find this is ongoing. I rushed out and took photos after dark – since it’s evening here, just after 10.30pm as I type – so hope that’s oK. Thanks for a great idea!
Holy mackerel. The number of comments you have must be a record. OK. I didn’t want to be left off the tour — not that I can imagine ANYONE having the time to visit every single site. You’re going to, though, aren’t you? ;-)
Thanks for hosting, like the good Southern woman you are.
Your house is pretty much what I expected, which is a compliment. It’s lovely and open and inviting.
WOW, I didn’t know there would be soooo many people doing this one. Congratulations!
This has been so much fun Boo-mama! So many lovely homes to look at, but it’s been especially nice to meet everyone. Your home is charming too!
Thanks for a extra special Friday.
What an awesome idea…I love it. Your house is fantastic too. You wouldn’t believe what my imagination came up with for a fridge…you were there cooking for me and I never had to cook again…ahhh.

I’m delurking to say thanks for hosting! I was going to participate too, but my family is so sick that we fled the premises to my in-laws for some new air to breathe…
Maybe I can play another time…
Wholly Kow! This is one popular meme, my friend! I’ll try to get mine up tomorrow.
(Your folks’ house is gorgeous. Can I move in when you leave?)
Your house is so inviting. I love your bedroom!
I’m so glad that you went ahead and kept the tour open. It’s been so much fun to see all the homes and get a little inspired for decorating some of the rooms that we are not finished with yet.
Blessings,
Thanks so much for hosting this for us! Your home looks lovely, and mine is posted on my blog!
I love seeing everyones lovely homes and all the different tastes/styles throughout the country. Thanks for such fun!
Holy cow, girl! Look at what you’ve started! I love it!
Whewww!!! Okay, I’m linked! Boy, I think I’m # 156. Good grief, girl, did you ever in your wildest daydreams think this would be so BIG?!? I think you’ve created a phenomenon, LOL. ;)
Off to make homemade chili and non-sweet cornbread for supper now. Have a great weekend, BooMama and Sister and family. :)
LOVE YOUR TOUR OF HOMES IDEA! I love looking at houses and now it feels like meeting new friends! If I figure out what my two year old did with my memory stick, I’ll play along.
Long time lurker.
Hey BooMama. This is crazy! I average 30 lookies into my blog every day, but today, so far, I’m at 500!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about everyone else?
Thank goodness it is the weekend so I will have time to visit all these great homes!
Great idea BooMama!
Love this post!
I BooMama,
I enter with my link, it’s work but show a message:(deleted link) and I don’t know why. Please, help me!
Thank you!
As if you didn’t have enough comments already, but I just HAD to to tell you what a lovely home you have. I LOVE your bedroom especially!!
Thanks for doing this roundup!
Thanks for all your hardwork in putting this together!
Your home looks lovely by the way!
What a wonderful idea to do, thanks for hosting it. Your home is beautiful & I enjoyed seeing it! Can’t wait to have time over the weekend to tour all the rest.
I hadn’t planned to participate in the home tour, but I just left Diane’s and was so impressed I decided I have to do it too.
Boomama I finally got it posted after all day! lol This was a lot of fun once I got past the stress of the posting. Can’t wait to see everyone’s homes. Yours is beautiful! It’s pretty much like I thought. Thank you so much for hosting this. It was so much fun!
Wow! I can’t believe how many people signed up. This was so fun! Mine is up. Thanks.
I love your porch and your master bedroom. Anything in toile is a keeper for me! Thank you so much for doing this, it has been so much fun and I’m not even 1/4 done.
What a great idea, thanks so much for getting this started. Love seeing all the different people and places. How about seeing everyones Christmas tree’s next???
Thank you for arranging this—what a great idea! I love looking inside people’s homes!!
I have to admit I chickened out of participating myself, but I did blog about it, and included a couple of links to direct readers to the tour. Looking forward to seeing all the houses!
This great idea, I’m enjoying looking at all the homes! Not many visited me but that’s okay! I had to work today, so I’m just visiting everyone now!
Your home is just lovely gal!
Hey! I did it! This is really fun, thanks for putting it all together, Boomama.
I think I already commented on your beautiful home…but hey, I was wondering why I didn’t get many coming on by and realized I hadn’t checked in with my name! I’m the “other Tammy”…
Oh, brother, silly me!
DANG!!! I NEVER expected to see so many!
What a great idea you had! I’ve really enjoyed making the rounds today. Thank you!
i can’t remember if i have already commented here to you or not, and am too lazy to look (there, I admitted it) but thank you!!!!! This was a wonderful idea. It’s so nice to see where the ladies I have begun to “meet” blog and live.
I don’t have the most exquisite home, but am blessed to have what I do and am very thankful and proud to share where I raise my babies. Therefore, I am glad to see that you posted about that – it’s not about what you have, but where you LIVE! :)
Your home is beautiful – love the master bedroom!!!!
Thanks again for the work you put into this Bloggy Tour of Homes!!!!
Your home is so beautiful! I love the front entrance. Thanks for sharing it with us all!
Thanks for all the work you put into this- it was so much fun!
I’ve enjoyed looking around!
Thank for inspiring me to get off my butt and blog. This has been one of my favorite ‘tours” ever!!
I finally made it. Even though it’s no longer Friday in Australia, at least it is in some parts of the world, so I just stole another time-zone….lol.
Thanks for suggesting this tour, although it will take me forever to look at them all!
Mine is finally up. Your home is so pretty!
This is so much fun! Thanks for hosting–you inspired my first comment ever on the site of someone I don’t know personally ;-)
You have a beautiful home! Thanks for hosting the tour. It was lots of fun!
Thank You for hosting! Your entry way is so inviting!
Love your crown molding.
Love your blogging spot.
Love and Prayers for you at this difficult time.
Kim
Dear BooMama
I have had so much fun doing this. You are right, I do need a babysitter to go through the list. Thankyou again for hosting this…
I doubt you know me but still i am shyly asking if i can join in.
my link is up. I’m sorry but I didn’t do any cleaning up because I wanted to be true how we live, with five kids, you might see a mess now and again. LOL
http://adventuresinjuggling.blogspot.com/2006/07/big-top-home-tour.html
this is a GREAT idea you have. Your home is quite lovely.
What a beautiful home! The colors are so warm and inviting. That chair you blog in looks SO comfy cozy!
Thanks, BooMama, for arranging this whole tour. It’s been such a fun bloggy event!
THANKS this was a lot of fun!
oh myyyyyyyyy. I am instantly blogrolling your site. this is the
best.
idea.
ever.
Lovely home, and this tour was a great idea. Thank you for doing it, and congrats on how successful it has been. Off to look at more homes now.
You’re still in my prayers
I hope it’s a case of “better late than never” at your place. Love, love, love your home. P.S. I just watched Paula Deen for the first time. I think I’m in love.
Your home looks so warm and cozy. Thanks for inviting us in!
I don’t know how I do it, but whenever I link with Mr Linky, it always says delete link next to my name. It does the same thing on Shannon’s WFMW. Anyway, I’m up. Will I be the last one? Hope so since it’s gonna take me a month to get through all of these.

I’m not participating in this but I had to tell you what a beautiful home you have. It looks like something out of a movie!
I love, love, love your front door! Your house feels very eclectic. I like that. To me, it means you are not afraid of what you like. I like how you said that we are all so blessed to have a roof over our heads and be able to participate in a tour. Blessings to you and yours!
Boo-mama you can erase 208, and 209. I screwed up with my links!!! So so sorry!!This was so much fun!!!! Your home is beautiful!!!
Okay I just proved I am an airhead!!! You can erase link 207 and 208…link 209 is working!!!!!
So sorry once again!!!
Okay, this is outrageous. Every time I come back to make a little more headway on the tour, there are like, 30 more homes added. At this rate, I’m going to be a very old woman and still not finish this tour. My grave marker will read, “Died Touring Blogger’s Homes” or something equally embarassing.
Is 210 a record number of linkies left at a single post? Methinks it must be.
Way too much fun, BooMama! Good one, Girl!
This is such a fun idea! Thanks for hosting the tour. You have a beautiful home, looking forward to seeing everyone elses’.
What a wonderful idea!!!!
BooMama, I am glad that I found your blog for one! I am also thoroughly enjoying this idea. It’s been so much fun to see how we all live differently, but most importantly, how thankful we are for what we do have – deeply rich in family more than anything else. I look forward to reading your blog and also to the Christmas idea…! Have a wonderful weekend. :)
I love this idea!!! Thank you! And your home is lovely!
Not only was this a wonderful idea but you brought it all together so well. It has been so much fun, and a good kind of tired. But just as I think I’m closing in on them all, there are more added! The response is unbelievable. Maybe girls really do like to talk (blog)! LOL
Anyway, you have such a beautiful home. I love the way you have decorated, the style, colors….just everything.
Thanks again for sharing not only your thoughts, feelings and experiences but your home as well.
This is too fun!! I broke some rules as I only had afew random pics of my place-enjoy!!
I was a bit late but enjoyed this idea. It was fun to look around everyone’s places. You have a lovely home as do so many of the other bloggers.
I’m here via KEB and am going to have to check out more of the posts. What a fun idea.
Ooohhh..this is so much fun! I’m going to get my camera now…be back later to add my tour.
Stephanie
I know you have enough comments to read through, but I just wanted to say that I loved your home! I think your bedroom is decorated especially well…wanna come help me decorate??! Thanks for letting us tour your home, and thanks so much for starting this tour of homes! It was great to see homes from all around the world. I could look at the homes and see the love each woman has for her families.
What a neat idea! We are still in the process of building our house but you can follow along on the progress at my blog…
BooMama, Thanks for arranging the tour of homes. Blogger wouldn’t let me upload pictures Friday, so my post is finally up now.
I really like your kitchen cabinets. When we get around to remodeling our kitchen, don’t be surprised to get an E-mail from me asking where to find some just like them!
Lots of fun, thanks!
Hi there! I am visiting Crouching Mommy Hidden Laundry’s blog. I love this idea! How cool. Also, I love the color of your bedroom. Ours is also a pale sage green. Your kitchen is awesome, too. OK…I’m off to house stalk…in a friendly way. :)
Beautiful home Boomama…thanks again for doing this. Even though I was WAY late putting my pics up, I’ve REALLY enjoyed looking at all the beautiful homes…
I am so glad to have found your blog and your Tour of Homes. I think it is great!
Your home is gorgeous. Thank you for doing this. I’ve enjoyed touring the homes.
Ran across your blog and liked this idea. Thanks!
I played too!! Better late than never I guess :)
I’ve added my website…I hope you will stop in for a visit!
I really liked this idea after seeing the home of one of the bloggers listed, so I had to go and do it too, although I have a studio apt and not a house, but it’s still my home :) cheers
Hi! I’ve never been to your blog before, and I just happened to surf into this page, and what a great idea… I just HAD to try this!! Thanks! I really enjoyed browsing all the other homes, too!! :)
Hi! I saw this awhile ago but after my camera was stolen on our honeymoon, I had no way to participate. BUT I just got a new camera and posted my own tour. I tried to do the link thing but it looks as if I’m too late. Oh well. If you want, you can see it here: http://marriage-101.blogspot.com/2006/09/home-sweet-home.html
Thanks for doing this! It was a lot of fun.
Lovely home. I just posted pics of my kitchen only. The rest of my house is a work in progress….
I am a little late, but I thought it was great fun and wanted to join in! Enjoy!
I’m very late joining in. I love the idea so I just had to be a part of it. Hope you like it!
I have no idea if you will ever see this comment at this point, as I am totally computer clueless, so I don’t know if ‘it’ tells you someone posted a comment from an old post or not…but I had to comment anyway. :o)
I am TOTALLY confused!!! I thought your husband was BEFUDDLED by ‘stunt pillows’!!! And here you have a room full of stunt pillows and throws!! Why on earth was he so thrown by your mom’s stunt pillows and hiding of the functional pillows??
Also…did your FOUR year old really do those art pics?? On his OWN?? They’re pretty incredible if so…
Lovely home!
I love your blog and the Tour of Homes was a great idea. You have a gorgeous home. I added a tour of our home to our blog, but was to late to be added to the links. Thanks again for this great idea.
