Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Ours was productive. But before I get to that I have to tell you that my guest post for Elizabeth at the Chasin' Mason Blog on being a mom to boys is up on her site! Here's the link. Go check it out. ;) On Saturday Daniel and I (I was mostly his gofer)...
Howdy! My husband is finally home, hooray! Three weeks he's been gone. THREE WEEKS! It was awful. LOL I planned to be productive this weekend, really. BUT our house had different ideas. An idea like a busted pipe which soaked through the drywall on the stairs and soaked the carpet too. Yay! Not. Here's the area that was sopping wet. See the paint...
Hi there! I was very busy this weekend, playing hand-ball with the boys, crafting, painting cabinetry, painting our mantle, cutting in the paint on the ceiling... So much painting. *sigh* My wrist hurts. But all the kitchen cabinets are done!!! With the exception of some doors/drawer faces. Such a relief! Once the ceiling and the rest of the cabinet doors are done I'll...
Hello y'all! I was a busy little beaver this weekend! Halloween was easy peasy this year. We went to our church which had a Trunk-or-Treat festival, complete with free bouncers, cotton candy, kettle corn and beverages. Didn't have to pass out candy, yay for me! The kids had a blast too, they were Wolverine and Spider Man. Jack (left) and Dylan (right)...
Hey guys! I've been pretty quiet this month, mostly because I haven't gotten much accomplished. I didn't want to write a bunch of posts about nothing and waste your time. ;) This past weekend we actually finished a whole section of cabinetry! Really need to paint that ceiling... Sheesh. I love the way this picture shows the "before" and "after". Really quite...
I hate, hate to say this but my husband was right... and I was wrong. Also, I'm sorry Daniel. *smh* Daniel hates Pinterest. Hates it. With a passion. Sooo much. LOL The chalk paint is fine, there's nothing wrong with it, perfect recipe, go ahead and use it. But if you change your mind about using that technique because it's not the look...
Happy Thursday! We made it over the hump, yahoo! I had never had a fish taco until this year. Crazy, but true. A couple weeks ago Daniel decided to try to make some at home. He got the recipe for the white sauce from our friend Michelle who works with him. We made two tweaks, but first, here's the original recipe: fresh lime...
Howdy! So, I went home and didn't get all lazy yesterday! Progress. I bit the bullet and tried this awesome Chalk Paint Recipe from Virginia over at Live Love DIY using the following supplies: Plaster of Paris, which they have a our Home Depot but only in the 15 lb bags so I got this 4 lb container at Lowes. Flat paint...
Hello all you cheerful Monday-ers! Right?? Not so much, I know. ;) I promise I meant to work on the kitchen this weekend... I swear. We even went to Home Depot after church yesterday, so, see? We got another can of paint for the cabinets and a sheet of plywood to fix the counter top that didn't work out. Still so sad about...
Hello all! We made it back in one piece! Well two pieces since there's two of us but... you get the idea. ;) New Orleans was cray cray. Bourbon Street was like Vegas with terrible sidewalks. Very treacherous. Even if one wasn't drinking it's dangerous. I have my fair share of bruises from tripping and falling. Sidebar: for some reason whenever I fall...
Hola! Happy Friday! In exactly a week from today I will be on a plane to New Orleans!!! Can't wait to post a blog entry on that adventure. And less than a week from today, next Thursday to be exact, Daniel and I will have been married for 10, count them, 10 years!!!! I can't believe it's been that long. It's surreal. I...
