More random things that have made me smile. 1.) Young House Love. John and Sherry Petersik’s blog Young House Love is an absolute favorite of mine and I’ll admit I got really giddy when they announced they were writing a book and pre-ordered it the first day it was available for ordering. I got even more giddy […]
Fall Decor: Simplified
So when we left off, this is what parts of our house were looking like all decked out for Fall: Festive Tablescape… Decorated Mantel with Burlap Banner… I liked it and enjoyed it, but… when I’m busy, I can’t stand lots of stuff around. Messes stress me out and I go on a de-cluttering spree. […]
It’s a Slippery Slope, People
Remember when the Snuggie first came out? Remember watching that ridiculous commercial and yelling at the people on the tv to just put on a flipping jacket already?! I mean really, right? Here’s a refresher, just for kicks. My favorite is the guy that looks like Grand Moff Tarkin off of Star Wars. 🙂 Anywho… […]
Playroom Progress: Kid Made Art
Every year during the holiday season, we put ourselves on a spending freeze to save money for gifts. This means that home improvement projects get put on hold until after Christmas. I have a long list of house projects I’d like to get done soon, so I’ve been contemplating how to do some of them […]
Money Money Money
So, let’s chat about money, shall we? Hubby and I have a divide and conquer type attitude when it comes to managing our finances. We made up a budget together, then split up the sections and both took a share to manage. Hubby takes care of paying all the regular bills like water, electric, mortgage, […]
Playroom Progress: Stripes!!!
Hooray, we finally finished the stripes! I’m SOOOOO excited about them! Here’s how it went down… After painting the room blue, we tackled measuring and taping off the stripes. This is not for the faint of heart. I kept asking Jeremy what in the world I was thinking and why he was such a supportive […]
Playroom Painting Progress
I’ve been busy at work painting the playroom. I spent a weekend taping and trimming at night, then rolled one night a few days later after Little One went to bed. When Hubby and I were fixing up our previous house, we had a painting system down pat. I trimmed and he came behind me […]
Southwestern Chicken Pie
My Instagram photo 🙂 (Photo from Pillsbury website.) I’ve been totally bored with our normal menu. So, off to search Pinterest, right?! Ha! I saw this recipe from Pillsbury and had to try it out. I made it exactly like the recipe said, except I didn’t brush the crust with egg and sprinkle parsley on […]
Honey BBQ
One of my favorite meals is pulled pork sandwiches! My friend Heather taught me how to do pulled pork in the Crock Pot. It’s super easy and makes a ton, which means we have enough leftovers for a couple days. Love getting an occasional break in the kitchen, don’t you? A few months ago, I […]
Playroom Redo–Part 1
One of the rooms that has been driving me nuts since we moved in was the playroom. I felt like it was always a mess and it was a bit bland for a play room. We had purchased some baskets for toys, but it still felt really disorganized. I wanted to get it organized and […]
