A few weekends ago, I decided to paint everything white. I read The Nester’s book and realized my fear had been that I would mess it up. But more importantly, I realized I was trying so hard to emulate everyone else’s style and make it my own instead of doing what I liked. For example, the china […]
I’ve been a little absent lately because we are busy trying to do a few last minute things to the deck and because all of technology has turned against me. Seriously. WordPress refuses to work on my laptop so I’m giving it until Monday before I panic. We also found out our old house is being […]
So close…yet so far away. I’m sitting here debating how to put into words this challenge we’ve come upon together. Hence the longest title ever. This One Room Challenge simultaneously with this Radical challenge. Both are so hard. In different ways obviously. On one hand, I’m fighting myself because I love to make things pretty. […]
Hello! I’ve never done this before but as I’m still having some technical difficulties, I thought it’d be fun to do a little monthly round up because April has been a BUSY month for us and this little blog of ours! If you’re new here, I’d love it if you subscribed on the right hand […]
Today, we took Kuy to Build-a-Bear to give up his pacis. This was a huge deal. Yep, we were those parents that let our almost three year old still have pacis but only in his bed, I promise. You see, six months ago, he gave them up for good. It was easy. No big deal at all. […]

Thank you to one of my favorite DIY couples over at DIY Passion and for a blog I just discovered that is precious, Designing Dee for this nomination!! I was seriously over the moon to be nominated. But, go check them out, along with […]
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 I cannot believe one year ago today I wrote this little bitty post and people.actually.read.it. THANK YOU for that! Thank you for hanging as […]
…is that it’s not all bad. It’s really not. I have learned about numerous life changing events because of Facebook. I have learned of prayer requests, spoken and unspoken. I have learned of births, deaths, sicknesses, praise reports, and even devotionals. Heck, I even learned about the earthquake here in SC because of Facebook. But I’ve […]
I’m not the mushy, sappy type as in Russ and I have not one thing for each other for this Valentine’s Day BUT I thought I’d share two pictures from our little love story and what happened from my point of view because I am kind of crazy about him… and apparently, have been since […]
So not that you really cared but I didn’t fall off the face of the Earth. It’s just basketball season and last week was no media week (see below) so this is kind of random thoughts post. I’ll understand if you stop reading now. I’m kind of stuck between this feeling of a serious change […]
