Last week I posted some pics of the family room. The one thing that this room is missing is lighting. Ok, it has lighting but I am talking about lighting that doesn’t look like giant adjustable eyeballs in the ceiling. The lamps are kind of sparse in our house right now, there are two in […]
If you spend all your money, chances are……
Your furnace will quit working on the coldest day of the year. Last week my husband had lasik eye surgery and we paid the $3100 out of pocket for the surgery. The money will be reimbursed through our med flex account but that won’t be for about a month. While waiting for the furnace guy […]
Art for My Bedroom & Paint by Numbers
While working on my 2012 House Goals post yesterday, I was inspired and then pinspired to find art for the Master Bedroom. I was thinking that maybe an oil painting of a ship on the stormy sea would look good over the dresser. After searching the good ol’ internet for a bit, I found a […]

Today is the last day of 2011 and I can say this has been a great year for our family! If you would have told me last year on December 31st that we would be completing 3 room makeovers by the end of May, deciding it’s time to move in April and then selling our […]

Good Morning Lovely People! Can you believe there are only 10 days until Christmas? I am mostly done with my shopping but you know how that goes. On a side note, I am eating buttered popcorn while typing this post so excuse the spelling errors, it’s from my buttery fingers on the keyboard. Today I […]
Covert Operation Christmas Gift has begun!
Hello, it’s me Ange, playing Santa’s elf today. I bet you hardly recognized me, right? I know, clever disguise. This is a covert blog post, I don’t think my kids usually read my blog but you never know! My children have been asking for a play kitchen since we moved and it even ended up […]
