A New & Unexpected Journey
“I’m concerned that Mason might have Down Syndrome.”These were the words spoken to me the morning after our son was born. Nothing could have prepared me for this and it was one of the most difficult things that I had ever heard. “What makes you think so”, I asked. The Doctor paused and began to explain what he saw–one less crease…

Sunburst Mirror with Wooden Shims, Neiman Marcus Knockoff
The project I’m sharing with you today is me jumping on the sunburst mirror bandwagon only about two years behind! I’ve gone back and forth in my mind about making one of these, and when I started thinking through our Master Bedroom project, I decided that over the bed would be the perfect place for a large mirror. I prefer…

DIY Drapery Hardware
Finding the proper hardware to hang window treatments is always a challenge. The nice ones are pricey {ranging from $20-$100} and the cheap ones are never the right size. There are three windows in our Master Bedroom, so if I was going to put in the kind of hardware I wanted, I was looking at spending more money on the…

A Little Ramble and Fall is Here!
Whew! The past week has been quite crazy around here. All 3 kiddos have been sick, and Mason ended up in the hospital Friday/Saturday with pneumonia. Poor little guy! It sure is tough to watch your children struggle to breathe! He was a trooper, though, and barely even cried while on oxygen all night, getting meds throughout the night, and…

Sometimes it’s the Little Things
BEFORE: DURING: AFTER: Much better, don’t you think? It only took about 5 minutes to remove it, but it made such a difference! That iron piece bugged for over a year before I finally did something about it. Is there anything quick and little that you can tackle today??

How to Customize Store Bought Drapes
Decorating our Master Bedroom has been a challenge for me, as I’m trying to do it on a very tight budget, and I’ve had difficulty deciding how to go about it. Last week I shared with you the paint color, and a peek of the fabric that I used for my window treatments. Today, I’m sharing my new drapery panels.…

Project Master Bedroom
One of the last rooms in our house to finally get some decor is our Master Bedroom. We’ve been living with the builder grade paint, no window treatments, nothing on the walls, and no coordinating bedding since we moved in. Last summer, we purchased some furniture that Mother-in-law found at an Estate Sale. We are so thankful for it and…

Beach Week Wrap-Up
We’ve been back from the beach for a few days now, but it’s taken me that long to really believe that vacation is over, thus summer is over, and now we’re moving into fall. We had a fantastic time at the beach! A few highlights: -seeing my girls enjoying themselves so much.-walks on the beach with my husband and kids-not…

Six Years
Six years of marriage and it just gets better and better! There’s no one else I’d rather laugh with or cry with. I look forward with great eagerness to all that the Lord has in store for our days to come. I spent some time the other night going through old photos and collected some of my favorites…

Tea Party, Daddy’s Way
The girls love to have tea parties, especially with their Daddy. They dress up like Princesses {thanks, Nana, for the handmade clothes}, Daddy wears a blazer, and they eat whatever Daddy decides. Maybe not what you would see at a traditional tea party, but this is Daddy’s way. My friend, Callie, let me borrow her extra camera for a few…
