More projects...

We had 2 night stands from when we got married that were not being used for much. I decided to redo them and use them in the house. I took one from Henry's room. I wanted a vintage, distressed look. I love how it came out.

Before...


after..






I have one more to go. I am doing another one for the living room.
Now this is the girls room before. I need some jazz in here, on a budget. I would love any ideas.





And I saw this on another blog and loved the idea. It asked what your favorite place in the house was right now. I know mine changes but the living room is mine right now.





What's your?

My Sunday project!!!

Sam's project for the weekend was not much fun. I walked into the laundry room to find the washer across the room. Apparently it was not feeling well. But thanks to my ever so smart husband he researched took it apart and fixed it himself. Twice. ;)

This was a lot of work. Next time I think I am buying them, but this set was made with my sweat, tears(not really) and love.

Flannel board stories!!!

We needed something to spice up our FHE lessons. Not bad for doing the coloring myself, huh?

Now this week I am tackling the painting and refinishing of furniture. Prayer are much appreciated. ;)

YAY for babies and baby showers!!!

We had a baby shower today for my friend Megan. I love baby showers! My friend Nichole(who did my shower) and I worked on this together. I am sure she was mortified at some of my attempts to pull it off. HA HA! She is the party girl and I tried, really I did. LOL
It was a fun day and thanks to Nichole, we pulled it off.

Seriously T.I.R.E.D

How do some moms do it. I mean they bake fresh everything, they sew their kids clothes, they do fun crafts...
It's all I can do to get through the day in one piece right now.
This was my day and I did nothing as stated above. HOW. DO.THEY.DO.IT?

So HOW DO THEY DO ANY EXTRA????????

That's a lot of dead people!!

We are in the car on our way to preschool. We pass a cemetary on our way. I guess Henry was listening a long time ago when Sophie and I discussed what it was. This was our conversation.

"Hey, Mom."
"Uh huh?"
"That's a lot of dead people"
"uhhhh, I guess you are right"
"How did they get there? Should we go get them out?"
"Um, no we should not. They are resting now (shudder)"
"But they are naked."
"uhhhh, No. They are not. They have clothes on and it is just their bodies now. They are with Heavenly Father."
"If I accidentally kick Cash really hard, will he die and have to go there?"
"(sighhhhhh). No, and we don't kick our friends. And kicking won't kill him."
"Oh, I know. His mom would get him anyway."

Heaven help me with this one.

Frugal chick in the house!!!

If you are not reading my frugal blog...you should. HA HA I got all this and made money today, 6.73 to be exact. Just click on the link under little Lucy over there->

Best Baby, Dinosaur and School Girl!

Yes, they all reside in our house. It is chaotic but moving along nicely with all the changes.

Guess who is 2 months old? And the best baby in the world, and the cutest. ;)

And guess who is the craziest in our house? If you want a glimpse of my daily life click on my sister Katie aka skates/porter number 6 to see a video of him.

And guess who is the best Kindergartner ever. She loves it and is really thriving. She had such a hard time when Lucy was born but school has made all the difference for her.
