Life
It has been crazy busy for the past few weeks for this mama, and I’m just about worn out! I took the kids to my parents’ beach house for a couple of days with my sister-in-law and her two girls. Ok, I expected it to be a little crazy taking the kids by myself to […]
Coffee Table Makeover
‘Kay, so here we go again! I saw this coffee table at Goodwill last week and the potential screamed out to me! Even though I did not need a new coffee table and even though I could barely fit it into my car (I should just buy a moving truck – really. It would be […]
Summertime around our house: the good, the bad, the ugly
It’s a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and I took some pictures around our house… My yard sale patio set… Front of our house…Cloth diapers hanging in the sunshine…Behind the house…You may have been wondering about the title of my post. Well, here’s the BAD! It’s an empty, dirty part of our backyard that we have yet […]
My tiny little guy
I recently took Jack for his 6 month check up and we found out that he had lost weight since his 3 month check up. In fact, he’s off the charts for what his weight should be. So I’ve been trying to fatten him up with extra feedings and cereal. And Jack approves. The doctor […]
Old Magazine Inspiration
Do you guys re-read old magazines like I do? I have a stash saved up, and I’ve been going through them when I get a free minute, which isn’t very often these days! I saw this photo of a kitchen with shelves in a Country Living from August of ’07 and loved the look! I […]
Just for kicks
This made me laugh hysterically tonight… Don’t be a Debbie Downer!
The way of the three year old
Ok, so here’s what I’m thinking… While we were gone on vacation, some kid pulled Avery aside and said, “Here’s the deal. You are three years old now. It’s time you start acting like it.” “It’s time for you to say “Why?” to every single sentence that comes out of your mom’s mouth. Even if […]
Fun in the sun!
Last week hubs surprised me and took me for some fun in the sun in Florida for our 10th anniversary! And what a great time we had! Little Jack came along and enjoyed the ride while his big sis stayed home and had way too much fun with her Grammys and cousins! We bounced between […]
Cousin Love
These girls are best buds and just love playing together! It’s funny to think that less than a year ago they didn’t even really know each other because they lived so far apart. I’m so thankful for the relationship they now have! It’s precious!

Bathroom Chair Makeover
I had this old chair setting outside in my flower beds and, while I loved the chippy paint and leather seat, I was looking for a chair to put in my bathroom and this was perfect for the space. It was a little too “rustic” (as in, falling apart and rotting in the outdoor elements), […]
I’m Addicted!
Ok, so you are probably sick of hearing me talk about my skirt-to-dress transformations, but I have yet another one! I’m officially addicted! I wrote about my first one here and the second one here. I’m a very amateur seamstress and this is actually the first project that I completed all by myself, with no […]
