It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home
The cozy reading nook in our master bedroom is coming along so nicely. I’m so proud of all the planning and work that we’ve put into this small but fun space. When we started this blog, we were definitely what you would call “novices”. We knew nothing about building bookcases, laying wood floors, pulling up […]
I’m so excited to be working on our cozy reading nook in our master bedroom. So far, we’ve built the bench. You can read all about it here. I found the black cubicle at IKEA in the damaged section in the front of the store. Fifteen dollars is quite a deal!! Next we built two […]
I’m so excited to show y’all the first project of many in our master bedroom makeover. Well, really it’s the second project if you count the master bedroom closet redo. Check it out here. I wrote a post about all the Master Bedroom Plans that are running through my head. You can go visit then come […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Everyone was home from school and work and as usual mama’s heart was full!! Our menu was yummy!! We baked a Double Glazed Honey Cured Ham from Walmart. We also had the LOML’s famous shrimp fried rice that Son #4 cooked and did a fantastic job! I shared […]
As I’m reading the title of this post, I realized it could be misconstrued that I have a picture of a beautiful model (the tall girl who walks the runway in beautiful clothing). NOPE! It’s a model home! My sister and her family came to visit from South Florida (and one niece from NYC). […]
It’s the LOML’s birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!! For every birthday that we have celebrated in our family (and that’s a lot of birthdays!), I always ask the birthday person what kind of dessert they want me to make so we can light the candles and sing “Happy Birthday” to them with. I’ve […]
About 34 years ago (seems like yesterday), I was attending a College and Career bible study at my new church. We met in a large room with ping pong tables, a pool table, and a large meeting area with folding chairs. Because I grew up playing ping pong (and I’ve got some skills if I […]
I’m so excited for our next project! I’ve been planning our master bedroom makeover in my head FOREVA!! BUT…..before we can start on the first project of the bedroom makeover which is the reading nook, we have to make room for all the wood that we need to store while building the bench/bookcases for the […]
Valentine’s Day has always been one of my favorite holidays! Besides all the candy (which I can’t eat anymore), the beautiful flowers, and all the love in the air, it’s also the LOML’s (Love of My Life) birthday. I always thought he had such a cool birthday. He does get a little shafted because […]
Here in the great state of NC, we got a little snow. Unlike the north where y’all continue living your lives with 4 inches of snow, we in NC stop everything. No work, no school, no driving anywhere! I am NOT complaining though because I love SNOW DAYS!! We get to sleep in, stay in […]
