{Spring Cleaning}

This lovely lady has inspired me to start my spring cleaning. Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I am a CLEAN FREAK in every sense of the word, but this time of year I look forward (I know I'm weird!) to going through drawers, closets, you name it and I just start purging! It such a good feeling once everything is neat and organized! Thanks for the inspiration Lanny :-)

{I am SO excited!!}

This is on it's way to me....can't wait!! Happy Birthday to me!

Been craving these like you wouldn't believe lately...














Think me & the boys will make some tonight....yum!
Anyone have some good recipes they wouldn't mind sharing?

Finally...

It's done! Well, technically it's been done for about a month but I have been a blogging slacker...sorry! Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!

The first one shows the room empty before we finished painting...













The next ones show the room with all of the furniture back in (note:you can see where the wall is still two different colors by the door, we still weren't done painting)

My house is a DISASTER!

That's putting it mildly! Check out the work in progress pictures below. Note that these were taken before we power washed the floors on Sunday. I can't wait to show you everything when it's all done!









Oh, and a pretty flower on my porch!

So my husband comes up with this great idea for a do-it yourself home improvement project, stained concrete. The whole idea sounded pretty easy and not ever having to worry about a spill on my carpet again...sign me up!! After reserching different techniques we figured out the color we would use, a neutral brown/beige. So we set off to destroy our house and rip up all of our carpet(we are just doing the living room & hallway), which was a project in itself! I stood back to look at the destruction and immediately thought "what the hell did we just do"??? I will update this weekend with pictures of the wreckage that we now call home. Wish us luck on our journey! Here's a picture of something similar, I figure that some throw rugs will give it a warm look!
