Coming up for air!!!!!

Well it has been a busy time around here. My husband took this week off so we could get a few things done around the house. On the to do list.... 1. Paint the fence. 2. Clean and organize the garage. 3. Clean and organize the basement. Have we done any of these things????? NOPE! Instead we have been painting and redoing the kids bedrooms. We are not totally finished yet so I do not have photos. We are just now coming up for air! I will take photos and post them sometime this week when we get everything back in order. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. See yall later!!!!!!!!!

Yard Sale Finds

Hello everyone just thought I would stop in a show you my latest find. See that sweet white rose in the pic below... well that is one of my grandmothers roses and I have been looking for a "unique" trellis for her! Well after looking for soooo long I found one at a yardsale! Don't ya just love yardsales.... they rock. See that chippy old iron head board in the pic below. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! So now I just need to weave pretty girl through there and waaa laaa!

Home Sweet Home

Well I had a GREAT Mother's Day hope yall did too. I thought I would show yall the outside of my "home sweet home". As I said before this was my grandmothers home before it was mine, so everything I do here is a labor of love. We painted the house last summer and just recently updated the patio a bit. I will get some pics of it on here soon. I am still using my sanford and son camera so please bare with me a little longer. Every time I think of getting a new one the money is needed more else where. Imagine that!!!! You can see my poor bare flower beds in the photos below, well I have been really working on that. I have planted tons of flowers and my first veggie garden too. Soooo excited! The squirrels are eating all my strawberries, I am still trying to come up with a solution on that one. Any suggestions????? I am so excited to be here in this home where I have so many childhood memories. I just feel so blessed to be raising my children here and making lasting memories with them. Any hoo I hope you enjoy my photos and hope yall have a blessed week!



My daddy added both the bay windows when I was a little girl.

My Time

Mother's Day is coming and I always enjoy this time of year because it reminds me how important it is to guard my time everyday. We all have busy lives and in this day and age there are so many distractions that take us away from our family and homes. We only have our children for a short period of time before they will be adults with their own lives, spouses, and children. I want to be very intentional about my time. I want to spend as much time as I can with my children. Sometimes this means that my house doesn't look perfect, or that I have to say no to the Internet or TV, or even to some outside activities. I pray that God will always give me a heart for my home, that he will remind me more often how important the job I am doing is, and most of all that he take residence in my home and make it his own. No one is perfect, and no one has perfect circumstances, but we must do our best with what we have. Titus 2 tells us that we are to love our husbands, love our children, be self-controlled, pure, kind, keepers at home and submissive to our own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed. This is the most important job on earth and God gave it to MOTHERS! I am praying that all moms this week will slow down and just enjoy being a wife and mother, because if you are one then you are truly blessed.

Thrifty Finds

I found these neat stacking boxes at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago. They go really well in my living room. There are six of them. There is one behind the boots that says Whole Coffee Beans. The boots were my sons when he was much smaller, just couldn't bear to part with them.

The sweet little blue frame....

The new cat bed..... he loves it!

I just thought I would pop in today and show some of my thrifty finds from last week. I loooooove thrifting and find some really neat stuff. I usually go with my mom, she looooves it as much as I do. Hope you enjoyed the photos!
