ANother House Project…..
We decided to upgrade a little of our landscaping. It's not a super dramatic change, but a little more organized and thought out. We're happy with the results, and luckily the project was completed in less than 2 days! woohoo! Before.... After....
Ok, Yep, apparently keeping a blog is difficult after babies. NO excuses, but I will attempt to catch up a little here. My main obsession is Ava, so of course there will be lots of pictures of her. I can't help it, I never EVER thought I would be one of those moms who only writes about their baby, or →
More House Projects…
We finally got our built-in entertainment center. This will be something that Ava for sure cannot wreck and provide for us a more "Kid Friendly" environment for our home. Before.... After....
House Projects
Chris and I have come to terms with the fact that we'll live in our house so long... we'll probably DIE in this house. Sooo... we are going to do a few projects that we have wanted to do that we know are frivolous, but it's something that we will enjoy so whatever. We're doing them. The project we did →
Lady of Leisure
I've probably been the biggest slacker of the blogging world for the last few months. I'm not exactly sure what my problem is, but maybe it's due to the fact that since I've become pregnant I've also felt like a total and complete BLOB. I apologize to myself for not being better at my journaling, but I'm sure I will →
Thoughts…
This afternoon was the close to a very emotionally strange week for me. Last Sunday I found out that one of my closest friends, youngest brother, passed away in a tragic car accident. It was unexpected, and completely knocked the entire family off of their feet. I could see and feel the devastation in my friend, and my heart ached →
House Projects
Chris and I have lived in our house for about 4 years now, When we first moved in, we were almost tripping over ourselves trying to complete house project after project. Then, life happened. Chris decided to open his open pharmacy, the economy took a nose dive, and we just weren't sure if we were even going to be staying →
Gavin Rossdale
This weekend was busy as usual, but it was alot of fun. My friend Jennifer got us free tickets to the Gavin Rossdale concert at the Hard Rock, and we were pretty pumped to see him. I have liked him FOREVER, and was disappointed I never got to see him perform when his was in BUSH. It was the first time →
perspective
I have almost completely fallen off the radar for the last few weeks. I have really been struggling to wrap my brain around the fact that I'm going to be a mother. It's not like I'm not excited or anything, it's just been a really hard concept for me to grasp. Maybe it's because I'm a slow learner, I don't →
What?? Whoa……back it up…
I grew up with a mother for a librarian, so she always told me never to Judge a book by it's cover. As much as I always try to follow this wise advice, I sometimes find myself reading books just because the title is so clever, or the cover piques my curiosity. I found this book at the library, and →
We’re all a little bit traumatized….
It all started with a phone call from my sister telling me the alarm company just called and told her they couldn't get in touch with Chris or I.....and our motion and door sensors were going off at the house.... In that moment... I knew EXACTLY what that meant. Last week out home was broken into for a SECOND time. It →
Safe and Sound? …..not so much
I know that many of our friends and family have been concerned about Chris and I, so I thought I might as well let the cat out of the bag and just go ahead and talk about what happened to us this weekend. Well, our house was broken into, and we were robbed. That's right, I said it... robbed. We had been →
She’s on to something here….
I was blog stalking my friends and family today at work, and I came across a post of a cousin today ....and I think she just really might be on to something here!! I had never really thought much about it before, but yeah...I really don't think my husband fully appreciates my Awesomeness to the degree that it deserves!! He never →
You can no longer call me the “Grinch”
I have been married for almost exactly 7 years, and this is the first year that I have had any Holiday Decorations. I am ridiculously excited about all of them, and I even put them up before THanksgiving. I have impatiently been stashing everything away from the after Christmas sales from last year.....and they have finally made their →

Scarlett vs. Rhett?….
Today I finished "Gone With The Wind". I've been reading it non stop for the past few days, completely obsessed with the Novel. I have never seen the Movie, and had no clue what the story was about. I must say, it was incredible. It's been awhile since I've been so captivated by a story, and this was no exception. →
AAAchhhhooooo!
Yep, that's right, I have officially come down a cold. I'm pretty sure it's basically allergies, but nonetheless, I cannot breathe. Seriously, I just got over being sick recently, and here I am sick again. As long as I do not come down with a Sinus Infection, I will be happy. If I'm feeling worse tomorrow, I'm going →
