Inspiration Saturday 06/27/15
via Summer is in full force here in sunny Southern California! Our June gloom is breaking up a little in the mornings and the sun has been nice and warm. Weather like this makes me want to go to the beach. Going to the beach makes me wish I had a little beach house! So,…

Homeschool- Moving on Up!
This was Emma’s last week in elementary school! She finished fifth grade and is officially moving up into junior high next year. I’ve been homeschooling her for the last two years, and it has certainly been an adventure for both of us. When I share with other moms that I homeschool, the first response I…

Inspiration Saturday 06/13/15
Another week down and here we are at Saturday! My inspiration today is going to be all about concrete floors. One of the reoccurring problems that keeps coming up in the sale of our house is I’m being told we don’t have flooring and everyone wants wood flooring. I’m trying to get my head around the…

Inspiration Saturday 06/06/15
Over the last four weeks I’ve written numerous entries on motherhood and parenting, but I can’t seem to complete a single one. I’ve been waiting to complete one so I can start blogging again. However, sometimes we have to put certain things on the shelf in order to move passed the place we are stuck…

Wedding Shower Banner
I posted earlier this week that I threw a bridal shower for my soon-to-be cousin, Kelsey. I also posted this picture from Pinterest as my inspiration to make a banner for the shower. I really wanted to use some of the pictures I took of them and also wanted her to be able to take the…

Just a Week in the Life.
Boy, has it been busy here. I felt like I wasn’t busy until I looked back over the week and was surprised to see what I had done. First of all, we did the monthly pile-up all the school work to turn it in to the office. These weeks are always busy because we have…

Master Bedroom Update
Every now and then I like to look back at some of the inspiration posts and update the blog with some of the ideas that have become projects. On this post, called Grass Cloth I wrote about possibly using grass cloth on the wall behind my bed. Since we are still planning on selling our house,…

Easter Eggs!
Every Sunday evening my oldest daughter, Alix comes over with her roommate, Steven. We all watch The Walking Dead together while the two of them do their laundry. This week they came over early so we had more time with them, which is always fabulous. I decided it was the perfect time for a little…

Oh, You Sweet Little Nachos…
So, it’s Saturday afternoon. I’ve already worked out, blogged, completed a big project, and now it’s time to relax a bit. What better time to have some NACHOS! Sure, I like nachos. As a matter of fact I LOVE them. I want them all the time. My youngest daughter makes fun of me because I…

Beautiful Monday!
This weekend turned out to be wonderfully productive. After sitting around in the house all day, I finally got up the energy to get outside in the sunshine to pull a couple of weeds. Well, one thing lead to another, and I ended up edging and mowing the lawn, weeding the entire yard, and cleaning…

Home Sweet Home- Where Will it Be?
We are at three years and counting to retirement. We want to sell our home and find some land and build a home or do some work on an existing home. When I say land I’m talking about 10 acres or more. We want to grow a garden and MAYBE have some animals. I’d really…

Sweet Valentine!
As I’ve said before, I LOVE Valentine’s Day! I love the color and sparkle, and hearts! I’ve never really had any Valentine’s decorations though. Last year, Emma and I decided to make some decorations that we could just throw around the house. We went through all my old scrapbooking papers and pulled many, pinks, reds…
