Going Stainless Steel

Ever since we bought our home 10 years ago, we’ve been pretty heavily making upgrades. We’ve always wanted to change something or make something better. I think ever home owner is the same way though. The one thing we really haven’t touched was the kitchen. We installed basic appliances to get us by and kind [...]


Here Comes Father’s Day!

Happy Father's Day!

Father’s Day around our house is always so exciting. My kiddos LOVE arts and crafts and with my love for crafts we always make some fun cards and things for dad and both grandpas. Although the cards are awesome because they are unique and handmade, I still like to get them a gift to go [...]


Preschool Summer Activities

Father’s Day Ideas?

Father’s Day is about a month away. I am already in the planning stages. We are actually going to be out of town on vacation with my mom and dad, and of course my husband will be there. The time we spend together is more precious then any gift that I can give. I am [...]

Redecorating! Living Room Style

Artificial Flowers

We’ve been redoing several of our rooms as we’ve been spring cleaning here. I am ready for the spring season and the beautiful flowers to start growing and the snow to melt.

This past couple weeks we have been updating everything throughout the house. I’ve been cleaning, some call it spring cleaning, but since spring is missing here, I’ll just say cleaning! We haven’t painted our dining room or kitchen since we moved in. It is still the primer white! I know, it was LONG due for [...]
