Our Master Bathroom Makeover

Today’s the day I finally share our Master Bathroom Makeover!!! WooHoo! This bathroom, you guys, this bathroom… We’ve been wanting to have work done to this bathroom since we first moved in, but since it was hidden away from the rest of the house it sat on the back burner since 2007.  We painted the…

Hello Monday – Weekend Recap

Happy Monday, friends! Today I’m linking up with Lindsay, Heather, Johannah and Tanya for Hello Monday! Our weekend was pretty low-key, so this post isn’t going to be very long… I’ll start off by showing you my fake eyelashes.  LOL! My neighbor took some maternity pictures of me on Thursday and I opted to hide my dark circles by caking…

Five on Friday

We made it to Fri-yay! Was that a long week for anyone else?  It was our first week back since before Christmas and I was NOT ready to trade in my pajamas and slow mornings for jam-packed schedules and rushed mornings.  I told Jon on Sunday that I felt like we were driving away from…

All-Things-Christmas Recap

Happy New Year!  I hope you and yours had an amazing holiday break as well as an exciting start to the new year! We had a the best time over here.  The weekend before Christmas was filled with lots of family and fun.  The remainder of our break consisted of lazy mornings, lots of pajamas,…

Weekend Recap

Did anyone else have another crazy busy weekend? It sure was a busy one over here.  Totally grateful, not complaining.  😉 Jon’s office party was on Thursday which meant that our weekend began a little earlier than usual.  Elmer helped kicked the long weekend into gear by providing the kids with Trix cereal.  Jon and…

Our Fall Bucket List Review

Decorate for fall I did indeed decorate for fall, but somehow life happened and I never took any pictures of all of our decor.  HUGE blogger fail.  I remember a time that I’d do home tours for most every holiday.  I really need to get it together. For 2018, please enjoy this pumpkin decoration that…

Weekend Recap

A Doctor’s appointment, some shopping, some crafting, the library, more crafting, a parade, a run and a birthday party. Phew!!! What a weekend we had over here and a good one at that! I am, unfortunately, a little late to the start of the week.  I took a “sick” day yesterday.  I dropped the kids…

Five on Friday

Happy Five on Friday!  I have so many “favorites” to share from the week!  I’m linking up with Andrea, Erika and Narci to share all of the goodness. Let’s gooooo! Gift guides. Earlier this week I shared some gift ideas/guides for the little ones in your lives, based primarily off of what our kids are…

Gift Ideas for…Me. ;)

Okay, so I feel like this is a super specific gift guide/idea post. I’m thinking the Department 56 will throw you for a loop, but hey, it’s my wishlist, so why not, right?  Or, hey, it’s a list of things for the 34-36 year old mom…?  I thought I was the funniest person EVER when…

What’s Up Wednesday

Hey, hey, hey – It’s What’s Up Wednesday! What We’re Eating This Week Tonight – Leftovers.  It was supposed to be chili, but we had enough leftover spaghetti from last night for tonight.  I’m not a huge fan of spaghetti, so I’m hoping to convince Jon that I should get Jimmy John’s for dinner –…
