One of my latest and favorite Pinterest DIY projects ...  Linking up with two of my face bloggers today ...  Stephanie and Katie for Saw It, Pinned It, Did It :)  This is a kid SPD project ;) Prelude to this... is that Jake is in Kindergarten and has "site words" to help him learn to read that he is supposed to be practicing ... which is not one of his favorite things to do as you can probably imagine ;) So I thought, there has to be a fun way to help him want to learn the words ... and I decided to just search the handy dandy Pinterest ... and low and behold I found the best idea ever!  This was SO easy and he literally LOVED it!  It required buying a white posterboard, that's pretty much it!  (they have the ghost ones with little lines on them you can't see to help with the lines!) Then I just drew the "parking spaces", ended up having exactly enough parking spaces for site words and even one extra which I wrote his last name in because for so...

I have had fabric to make Camille's bed skirt for her room since last November. So one year later, I am getting around to making the skirts. I gave you a sneak peak of the fabric here . Here is a reminder of what her room looked like last September after we added curtains and some other things. And here it is now. We moved the bed up against the wall so she would have more room to play.  I went ahead and made the three sides of the bed skirt because when we have guests I move the bed slightly out from the wall. Still tight little quarters in there but what are you going to do. Win the lottery and buy a bigger house??? I did the skirt on a tension rod because of her bed frame. There were metal strips holding up the box spring so you couldn't run anything along the inside of the wood frame. The tension rod has fallen down what seems like 100 times in the week we have had it up so hopefully this won't drive me crazy. I got these flimsy rods from Joann's because it was all...

Church on Sunday was awesome ...  I typically don't share a lot of church posts even though it is my belief and church is very close to my heart, I just have always steered away from them. However, yesterday totally hit home to me and so I thought it might be nice to share ... in my own words :) We learned about   Martha   and her life in the Bible. She was a little OCD, (don't judge her ha!) always doing something, never sitting still, had to be on the go go go alll the time, preparing for everyone else and their needs. She was cooking, cleaning, doing this, doing that, while Jesus and her sister, Mary, just relaxed on the couch and didn't have a worry or a care in the world. Martha was resentful to them, because while she was slaving away in the kitchen, they were always just cool, calm and collect, not really even asking if she needed help! Martha on the left, probably scrubbing that big pot ha Jesus & Mary on the right just hanging out :)  If you are like me,...

Hello lovely friends! It's Monday and today I am taking a break from the office and getting things done around the house, hoping it will clear some clutter and make me feel better :) I'm going to save Pinterest for another day and play catch up today... **WARNING: Picture overload today! If you don't like pics then you might want to scroll quickly** I can't believe I haven't shared Halloween pics yet!! The kid's costumes were awesome and they were so freaking cute!  Let me present to you ...  Batman the Dark Knight, AKA Jake  Said he was "climbing an invisible rope" in this picture haha! ;)  Next ....  The Cutest Cowgirl EVER ... AKA Ava She was precious, so excited about her outfit, ever since their birthday when we got them so faux cowboy boots they have been obsessed with them and she instantly said she wanted to be something she could wear them for Halloween ... and she totally rocked it! :)  ** I may or may not have super glued my pointer and thum...

Camille's class this year has a bear named Barney that travels home with the kids on the weekend. He comes with a suitcase, a bedtime story and a journal to record your activities with Barney. Last weekend, Barney came to our house. I am not sure he ever left Camille's side. She is such a little mommy and dressed him in outfits, made a bed for him and came up with stuff for him to do. It was really cute. I have posted our journal entry below.  Camille & Barney I was so excited to bring home Barney Bear for the weekend. My brother, Clyde and I love to ride our bikes. We wanted Barney to share in the fun and added him to my bike basket with my other friend, Mimi. Clyde decided to add his Build a Bear to his bike so Barney wouldn’t feel left out.  Barney & Mimi are becoming fast friends. I put Barney in the first of many outfits. This one was borrowed from Baby Alive. Next, I introduced Barney to all of my other stuffed animals. Now Barney is ready for bed. I got him a lo...

Happy Sunday Ya'll! I have had a GREAT day! Got to sleep a little more with clocks going back last night, went to church this morning and it was so good (will post more on that in my next post!), went to lunch with Chris and the kids, went to Walmart and got some things, then came home and just hung around and played with the kiddos :) I wanted to link up for Social Sunday ... it's been a while! Link up with Ashley or Neely and see everyone's else's Social Sunday write ups :) Here are mine ... 1. What is currently on your wish list? Hmm tough question, Chris keeps asking me over and over what I want for my birthday (in 3 weeks) and I can't seem to think of anything, very unusual for me lol. The only thing I can really even think of at the moment (besides a sister for Frankie!) is a cleaning lady just ONCE for a really good deep clean on our house! I am OCD and keep things very tidy but I have been so busy I've been slacking on the real hardcore cleaning and I j...
