Makeover

When we bought our current home in 2006 there were quite a few home improvements we had to do before moving in, and many more STILL on the list!! It's never ending! I absolutely love my kitchen and it's layout to the family room, but I had wanted to re-paint the cabinets from its original natural wood to white when we moved in but at the time there was only so much that we could do to fit in the budget and had to stick with the priorities.

A white kitchen makes feel happy and refreshed. It seems that it's the new popular and trendy thing to do to kitchens but I think the time has come to jump on the bandwagon. After years and months of convincing the hubby, he's finally ready to take the plunge with me. Now we just need to decide, do we try and save money and get our hands messy with paint or hire the handyman?

My current domain :) the kitchen really is the heart of the home. it's amazing how much time I spend in here. and yes that is 3 boxes of girl scout cookies! originally a total of 5! I couldn't just buy one after those little puppy dogs eyes are asking you if you want to buy to support the cause

a few of the beautiful inspirations

Love the stainless steel, but unfortunately my black beauties will stay!

if we can fit it in the budget, would love to add a subway tile backsplash.

Neti Pot

Feeling under the weather with a sinus cold. Has anybody ever tried one of these for relief?

Dr. Oz swears it works. Do I dare? ugg, gotta go blow my nose...again.

All we need is LOVE

Hoping your Valentines is filled with LOVE....(and chocolate :)

how cool

I've been looking for some cute ideas for Saylor's classmates Valentines, and saw this cool idea!! I think three year old's are a little to young, and the mom's might think I'm crazy, but I'll definitely file this one in the craft folder!

365 days

No new pictures today on my phone so I thought it would be fun to look back and see if I took any Jan. 30 2010 one year ago today. This is what I found,

Self Control Come Back

After watching the news and hearing there was a storm 'a brewing tonight, I knew we were going to be staying in, so daddy picked up pizza and mommy made these:



I decided to add dark chocolate m&m's into the mix and there were 4 happy smiling faces in our house tonight. I'd like to blame Target for sucking me in and buying those evil little morsels!!


My best friend treadmill & I will be having an hour long meeting tomorrow!

My Sunbeam

Bobby & I were on our cruise when Saylor had her first Sunday as a Sunbeam, so we missed the special day, so yesterday we got to take her to Primary and yes I kept my composure in front of all the kids, but when I turned and left my eyes welled up. Seeing her little tiny fingers and toes sitting in the chair first of all made me feel old! but made me feel so proud. This year she was the only one going into Sunbeams, so they put her in with the 4 year old CTR class which I was relieved to hear. She's 3 1/2 next month so I'm a little nervous because she's with the older kids but I think she'll have a great time. After we picked her up she said "Mommy, I was such a big girl and I sat so good next to Jane" :) These little yet oh so big moments in life are what it's all about!
