Happy Friday friends!! I don’t want to say anything, but other than a couple of runny noses, we are all healthy around here and getting back to normal. But, having been sick for a bit means I have piles of laundry to catch up on. I’m sure you know what I mean when I say that laundry is something that just never ends. And it is definitely my least favorite chore. I’m…
If you saw my instagram posts about my Christmas felt wreath or chocolate chip granola, you may have noticed that my kitchen table is white now!!! But it wasn’t always that way… Welcome to Gunksville, USA. Population: my kitchen table. You know how sometimes you think you clean really well, until you realize maybe you don’t? This table is pretty well loved. It used to be John’s kitchen table growing up, I’m…
You know those times when you start making a recipe and then realize you don’t actually have the right ingredients, but you’ve already started melting the butter in the pan? Yeah. That was me on Saturday. I had already promised Alex he could help me make granola bars, and if you have a 2 1/2 year old, you know you don’t go back on your word because they get so excited to…
I’ve been wanting to update the laundry room for quite some time now. I spend a lot of time in there doing something I don’t really love (or like all that much) so I want it to at least be pretty and inviting while I’m washing all the clothes. Last week, I read (in 2 days, so good!) The Nesting Place. It really struck a cord with me because I’m one of those…
This is weird for me. I usually don’t decorate for fall because the season is so short. But, it’s only short because I make it short. The day after Halloween is when I typically decorate for Christmas. Don’t judge. This year, I was feeling really inspired by all the lovely things I was seeing on Pinterest and on my Facebook feed from friends and bloggers alike. I knew I couldn’t skip out…
Oooooh yeah! You can put a fork in Alex’s room because it is duh-un (done)! But first, lets take a little gander at what his room used to look like. Oh, how many nights I sat beside that crib and then toddler bed. It wasn’t always that messy. I swear. Anyways, back to how it’s looking now! I’m so excited with how his room turned out, especially because I was nervous…
Wait, wait, wait, wait. You guys finish your nurseries BEFORE your baby is born?? You must be doing it all wrong because there is no way that I am. Okay. You’re doing it right, if that’s a thing. Alex’s nursery never actually got finished, so we are doing his big boy room up right…eventually. Christian is only 6 months old. So, naturally we are almost totally done with his nursery. You’re…
First off, don’t hate me for taking a two month summer hibernation break. I’m totally sorry, but do you know how fast two months goes?? It’s crazy pants. Anyways. Thanks for sticking with me y’all, you’re the best!! Today I’m bringing you a project that I have been thinking about for a while and finally got around to making (only took 6, maybe more, months)! A pallet clock! I’ve seen a few…
Overkill? I think not. I’m pretty sure it was one of my first pins on Pinterest, like, 2 years ago. An old ladder to hold blankets?!? Genius! It wasn’t a project in the forefront of my mind, but it was always lurking. I had my dad on the lookout for ladders left roadside, I would casually browse for them at yard sales and thrift stores, but I never found the right one…
These boys. I mean, seriously. It was time to get some of that sugar up on our walls. Admittedly, I am terrible at updating the pictures in our house. The frames are still littered with photos of when I was pregnant…with Alex. Also, there are lots of newborn pictures of Alex. Time for Christian to be represented and for Alex to grow up by 2 years. I’ve always loved the look of big…
