We are plugging along working on transforming our house into a home – slowly but surely – with decorations and our own personal touches. We recently completed our kitchen make-over and I am thrilled.
Here is the one and only before shot (I forgot to take pics):
The after begins with a little background … when I [...]

On Monday, I got to spend the day with my sweet friend Angie – we’ve been friends since college, were part of each others’ weddings and lived in Dallas at the same time – 12 years of wonderful memories. One day with her is never ever enough, but I’ll take what I can get! We [...]

My grandma loves flowers and has a beautiful garden. So, obviously, she was the perfect person to help me arrange some flowers to place by my front door. Just two weeks ago, Matthan and I headed over to her house for a morning of flowers, pots, shovels and lots of dirt. This little boy loves [...]

I came across this a few weeks ago while reading this book …
“Remember the Old Testament story of Jonah, who enjoyed the shade of a gourd vine, but fell into a snit when the gourd died? God reminded him that, instead of griping, he should be thankful that he had the gourd in the first [...]
Posted in I "heart" organizing, Moving on March 13, 2009 | 8 Comments »
I am super, duper confident in the organizing department – like WAY confident. Need organizing? Call me! I’m on it! Decorating on the other hand = hyperventilating, anxiety, frustration, tears … it REALLY stresses me out! I’m still waiting on my brother (or anyone else who feels the call, for that matter) to come visit [...]

I’ve missed him so much lately, it’s not even funny. I saw him as soon as I walked into the restaurant. My stomach immediately got butterflies and I got all giddy. He saw me when he was done with his dinner and came over to say hey. Little did he know [...]

I finally finished organizing AND decorating a room in the house (yep, just one). It’s a small one, Matthan’s bathroom, but I’m so excited about it. This was a surprise for him after being away for a few days. He loves garbage trucks, cars, planes, anything transportation, so we thought this [...]

This was me last March, after running my very first 5K …
This was me last weekend (yes, I am wearing the same shirt, and yes it is a shirt made for a middle schooler not a thirty year old, I know) …
The truth is, I’ve kinda let myself be very slack about my eating and [...]

Barkley is back home and we are so happy to have her back. We’ve missed her and her fun, happy spirit (but not her dog hair). She’s back just in time to get me exercising again before my behind reaches gargantuan proportions! We need to get ourselves out of bed and walking/running every [...]

These past two weeks have been a tad bit crazy (one should NEVER move during the holiday season). The moving process has been slow – still plenty of boxes to unpack, sort through and organize, piles and piles of laundry to fold, Christmas cards to send out, shopping to be done and some [...]
