Hooray, we finally finished the stripes! I’m SOOOOO excited about them! Here’s how it went down… After painting the room blue, we tackled measuring and taping off the stripes. This is not for the faint of heart. I kept asking Jeremy what in the world I was thinking and why he was such a supportive […]
Playroom Painting Progress
I’ve been busy at work painting the playroom. I spent a weekend taping and trimming at night, then rolled one night a few days later after Little One went to bed. When Hubby and I were fixing up our previous house, we had a painting system down pat. I trimmed and he came behind me […]
Southwestern Chicken Pie
My Instagram photo 🙂 (Photo from Pillsbury website.) I’ve been totally bored with our normal menu. So, off to search Pinterest, right?! Ha! I saw this recipe from Pillsbury and had to try it out. I made it exactly like the recipe said, except I didn’t brush the crust with egg and sprinkle parsley on […]
Honey BBQ
One of my favorite meals is pulled pork sandwiches! My friend Heather taught me how to do pulled pork in the Crock Pot. It’s super easy and makes a ton, which means we have enough leftovers for a couple days. Love getting an occasional break in the kitchen, don’t you? A few months ago, I […]
Playroom Redo–Part 1
One of the rooms that has been driving me nuts since we moved in was the playroom. I felt like it was always a mess and it was a bit bland for a play room. We had purchased some baskets for toys, but it still felt really disorganized. I wanted to get it organized and […]
Things I’m Digging!
Time for a fun list of things I’m totally digging right now… 1.) Pam’s Cheesecake. The crust is made of Fudge Striped Cookies, butter, and sugar. ‘Nuff said. 2.) Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Have I mentioned how much I love Fall?! 3.) Ped Egg. I’m really late jumping on this bandwagon, but really, it’s great! […]
All Sorted Out
As I mentioned earlier, I’m trying to go through the house and take it from just moved in to organized bliss. I tackled the laundry closet last weekend and put the finishing touches on this week. Here’s the unsightly before picture. As you can see, when I unpacked, I just randomly placed things on the […]
Fall Decor Wrap Up + Link Party Favorites
I have to say, all my fall decor was really easy this year! Here’s a quick recap on the diy projects. First off was the burlap runner with burlap napkin rings. I simply bought a roll of burlap at Michaels and cut it in half lengthwise to use as a runner. Then, I cut strips from the […]
Fall Fireplace Decor
Well, we’re to our final stop in the fall decorations tour…the fireplace! I rearranged it a million times, but am finally satisfied with it. I used things I already had on hand except for the burlap bunting that I made. The candles and candle holders are part of my everyday fireplace decor. I just dressed […]
Caught Red Handed
More confessions… I’m a sugar-holic. I LOVE sugar and will eat just about anything sweet. I’m trying to be better about going for fruit instead of the bag of chocolate chips when I get a sweet craving, but sometimes I treat myself to a dessert. I try not to buy sweets too often because I […]
