Weekend review

It was a fun and full weekend. We kicked it off with these colossal donuts from shoppers grocery store, I assure you rainbow sprinkles and chocolate really are the best way to start anything.


Next was what I call our fake spring photo shoot, fake due to the 47 degree temperature that morning and the…

Meet my $45 rocking chair

I found this rocking chair at a antique store for $45 bucks, score! I fell in love with the cane back and rad red color. Finished it off by" reupholstering" the seat made from tablecloth fabric; never underestimate great fabric found in tablecloths, curtains, and sheets! This newly furbis…

Kids incorporated rooms

Just last week Gideon ripped a section of wallpaper right off the wall, colored on my lucite coffee table, and spilled chocolate milk on the rug! But my husband and I…

Blow that horn

Ready for a funny story? A couple sundays ago at church, our Pastor was teaching Joshua and the battle of Jericho. Mid sermon he demonstrated how the Israelites blew the shofar horn prior to the wall falling, proclaiming their victory even before the wall fell. Pretty amazing. At the end of the ser…
