Trending Post: 7 Mid-Century Modern Kitchens That Inspired My Own
My husband and I recently bought our first house. Besides the usual 3 bed/2bath list of wants, a had two biggies on the list. 1) I do not want to be able to see into my neighbors window from inside mine. In fact, I don’t really want to be able to see my neighbors house…
everything you need to decide if concrete flooring is the right choice for your lifestyle and budget. I have had concrete flooring in two of my homes. The first was a DIY sealed concrete and the second (my current home) has a professionally finished concrete floor. I have mixed feelings about this type of flooring,…
*Thank you to Article for providing the furniture to complete this project! Hey there strangers, hope your summer is going well! Ours has been good…busy at times, slow at others, sometimes I’m enjoying the heck out of it, and sometimes I look at the calendar and count the days till school starts again. Don’t pretend…
The mudroom is so incredibly close to being finished, and I can’t wait to get the reveal post up on the blog (thinking it will be next week). It’s been way too long since we’ve had a reveal post around here. In the meantime though, let’s take a detour and talk about window trim. So…
I logged onto my website this morning to publish this post and saw that it has been a month since my last one. I would have sworn it was only a week or two….time is flying. Flying. Anyway, progress is still happening around here despite my blog neglect, and the shiplap in the laundry and…
Last updated August 17, 2023 Whenever I post pictures of the inside of my house I get questions and comments about the DIY sealed concrete floor. I’ve never talked about it before, and just like most things, there is a story behind it. So why did we choose concrete floors for our new home? Was…
Okay, let’s talk about kids clothes organization. I have four sons that are fairly close in age, which means when it comes to clothing them I pretty much have it made. So far I’ve only had to buy (or am gifted, gotta love grandparents) clothes for #1, and then #2, #3 and #4 all get…
I figured that after a month of silence it was about time for an update on the baby and life in general, so here we go. Let’s start at the beginning…the day Abram was born. I’m one of those women that is chronically overdue with babies and I expected nothing less with this one… I…
For a long time I was doing really great at keeping up with blogging about progress on the house, but I’ve since fallen a bit behind. I’m going to do my best to catch up though, and today we have a thrilling post about texture and primer (which actually happened about two months ago). So…
(I started writing this post mid-December with the best intentions of getting it out the first week in January, but that obviously didn’t happen. Each time I sat down to collect pictures I got super distracted looking at old photos. I was even going to make a year in review video (I have so many…
Before we jump into this post, I just have to say thank you for all the comments on my latest post about the book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”. First of all, y’all are hilarious, and second of all, you proved me right beyond the shadow of a doubt. It’s funny because Adam…
It’s hard to believe there are only a few days until Christmas! Are y’all ready? I’m almost ready… I have a few more gifts to buy and that’s about it. Our Christmas is very simple this year, because things are crazy, Adam and I are tired, and simple is good. Speaking of simple (you like…
I think it’s high time for a baby update. I can sense that y’all want one, I can feel everyone thinking “curtains, saloon doors, lampshades, whatever…show me the baby!” Okay, FINE. If y’all are going to force me to show pictures of my adorable new son, then I guess I will. Just don’t expect me…
Sometimes I get the itch to try a project just for the heck of it. Even if I think it will fail, or look horrid, or be a total time-suck…I just want to give it a shot. These tables are one of those projects. I’ve been wanting to bring some gold into the house somehow,…
A couple of years ago I made a chalkboard for my kitchen/dining room area. I use it every single day for my household to-do list. It’s probably one of the things in my house I use most (that’s not an appliance, computer, or sink). Recently the boys have taken an interest in it, and each…
It all started when we went on a cruise last October. Adam and I have always slept on a queen mattress, I’ve never felt like we needed anything else. I’ve always thought a bigger mattresses was a waste of space, or for couples that don’t like each other as much as Adam and I do. We often…
The 40 bags in 40 days challenge ended a couple of weeks ago…how did everyone do? I did pretty well. My house still isn’t an organized haven, and I wasn’t the ruthless, hard-hearted, clutter destroying machine that I had hoped to be…but I still got my 40 bags. More than 40 actually. When I first…
My boys have been busy little dudes. They are growing up so fast…Elijah is full on talking and says the funniest stuff, and Levi is just starting to talk a bit. I should really keep a notebook of the stuff Elijah says, because I am going to want to remember it. I post them on my personal facebook page every now and then, so here are a few of those..
Conversation 1:
My conversation with Elijah over dinner (I was trying to get him to eat salad)…
“Hey Elijah, why don’t you try some of this….it’s rhino food” (cause hes obsessed with rhinos)
“No mommy, rhinos no eat that, rhinos eat grass.”
“Of course they eat that…and how did you know rhinos eat grass?”
“uhh mommy… rhinos just eat grass and cheese”
Conversation 2:
I was trying to get Elijah to clean up his toys and he says to me…”No mommy, I don’t want to clean up, I want to talk to you” “What do you want to talk to me about” “I want to talk about how I have a little butt and you have a big butt.”
Conversation 3:
So I’m just finishing up my third and final load of laundry when Elijah comes running up to me and yells “Mommy! Poop everywhere! Poop on mommy’s bed, poop on the floor, poop on brother…come, follow me!”
Alright y’all, prepare yourselves for a whole lot of rambling. About halfway through this month I realized that I completely forgot to post my December ramblings. December was a crazy month and it just slipped my mind, so now I get to do two months worth of rambling in one monster post. Lets start with good ‘ol December….
Another month has come and gone. June was a busy month for us…we went on a beach vacation, I worked VBS at our church, we built a garage, celebrated our eight year wedding anniversary, spent about a week being sick, and found out that we are going to have a little niece! This month I knew…
