Site Issues

I apologize for the site issues last night. My hosting service was down for a few hours. Fortunately I didn’t lose any data.
I will be out of town for the holiday weekend, more posts coming next week.

Gratituesday

Although I am thankful for her every Tuesday, since she is turning 14 this week it was time to send a little thankfulness her way.
She is my oldest, and was kind enough to ease me into parenting. I was a young mom and didn’t have any idea what I was doing with her. She was [...]

Baby Steps to Clean the Bedroom

I started on my bedroom today. Before I began it was difficult to walk around, but now I can actually enjoy my room. My friend and I painted the walls sage green last week. I love the color, it is so relaxing. I still need to find a new comforter for my bed, I think [...]

Conquer the Clutter

I am so excited about the Conquer the Clutter challenge being hosted at my other blog this month. When we moved (and displaced all of our stuff) much of the junk rose to the surface and now sits in piles around my house waiting to be sorted, tossed, filed, passed on, put away, etc…
I have [...]

Monday Meanderings

Another busy week here! My brother and his family will be coming on Tuesday for a week. As I type this I have 10 children sleeping (or not) in my house celebrating my daughter’s 14th birthday. They made their own pizzas tonight, ate strawberry banana triffle and Rice Krispy treats for dessert and our now [...]

One way to get paint out of the carpet…

How do I know this… well, I tripped and spilled about a cup of paint on the carpet today while I was finishing the playroom. Unfortunately, I do not have pictures of this little mishap, although getting the camera did cross my mind in the initial moments of panic.
When the paint first spilled I grabbed [...]

Friendships

I have to admit, I had a hard time thinking up something to write about for Laura’s Gratituesday this week. It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to write about, it was that I have so much. There are so many things in my life, I am so blessed, that I had a hard time [...]

School Room Makeover

I hope all of you from Lara’s blog are not sick and tired of my home makeover posts. It is really taking up most of my time, so that is what I am talking about!
The school room was the next room I decided to tackle in our new house. After painting six rooms, I couldn’t [...]

Monday Meanderings

I am having company this week. I am so excited because I just love visitors. I especially love these visitors because they lived next door to us and so I don’t have to do a super great cleaning job. She has seen my house in every condition imaginable!
We have almost completely finished the moving in [...]
