Check out P in her cute new custom hat from Penny in the Attic. Also here’s a sneak peak at how the kitchen is coming along….progress is a a stand-still while the hubby is back at work and I’m back sewing like a crazy person.
Children Can Sense It
February 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Weakness that is! Since my husband started his new position with his company-he works one weekend a month-a 10 hour day and an 8 hour day. Now I love my kids more than anything else in the world-but by the end of that second day-I’m ready to run away screaming-preferably with a drink in hand! [...]
What the….
February 24, 2012 by 1 Comment
Out with the old, ugly, cheap, nasty(can I say more) sticky tile-in with the new…..green floor-yup that’s right we are putting a green floor in our kitchen….these are only some of the progress pics. We now have the 5th and last coat of poly drying on the floor for the next two days and then [...]
Sometimes It’s Just an Illusion
February 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I love that we have a window in our stairway, but I don’t know what it is about windows and stairs-the windows always look too short. So I decided to take the old phrase “fake it till you make it” and put it to use-well maybe just the fake it part….but I really like the [...]
Motivation
February 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment
To put it simply: The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. The general desire or willingness of someone to do something. What exactly motivates you or keeps you motivated? For me it tends to vary-which I’ve found really works for me(probably part of my self-diagnosed ADD and inability [...]
Bad Hair Day
February 17, 2012 by 9 Comments
You ever have one of those days where no matter what you do or what you put in it to try to “pretty it up”….you’re just having a bad hair day. Well my blog and lackluster website were having a REALLY BAD HAIR DAY! And sadly I wasn’t doing much about it-kinda ignoring it actually [...]
Quick Change Wednesday
February 15, 2012 by 1 Comment
So instead of doing WIWW, I’m going to switch it up and show you a mid-week DIY I did today. Does anyone else start projects without having a plan? Yeah that’s basically what I always do. So last night I got an idea that I wanted to switch things around a bit when Justin was [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day
February 14, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I saw these on Pinterest the other day and was convinced I would make them for breakfast today-well I made them-they turned out pretty good(had to sub raspberries because I couldn’t find organic strawberries. They were actually pretty easy to make too and E was excited because he thought he was eating a cookie for breakfast. P [...]
Crock Potting It
February 13, 2012 by 1 Comment
Not even sure if that’s a phrase-think I just made it up, but it pretty much sums up what we were doing for dinners this past week. If you know me, you know that pre-planning is not my strong suit…hence making crock pot meals alittle difficult since I tend to forget to get things ready [...]
Cleaning Up and Clearing Out
February 10, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I have a sick little guy home with me today so after placing my fabric orders and answering this mornings emails, I was twiddling my thumbs on what to do while he relaxed on the couch. Sewing was out of the question since he would freak out if I was not within seeing/hearing distance and [...]
It’s February
February 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment
And I feel a bit guilty that I just took down our Christmas decorations today-well the trees been down for awhile, but everything else was still up. To make up for it I decided to make a Valentine’s decoration-I really never do valentine’s day decorations-don’t know why it’s just not something I’ve done. Anyways here [...]

Fun Filled Weekend
February 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I’m a day late on this post but with good reason…I’m been trying to get back into the swing of things after a very fun-filled weekend. E has a little group of buddies and all of the other boys have birthdays a week or two apart in February-E’s is in March. Well we [...]
Caution Construction Zone-Work in Progress
February 3, 2012 by Leave a Comment
s you can see this site is undergoing a bit of a transformation…..or actually QUITE a BIG one! I am beyond excited about this and have been working with an amazing designer, but I’ve been a bit indecisive so we’re still making some tweaks. I promise things will start to look better [...]

This was Monday when I was off to a meeting(which turned out great by the way and I’ll have news about that soon) Dress: Target, Leggings: Target, Boots: Aldo, Necklace: Can’t Remember [...]
