Wordless Wednesday – Never Say Never!

93 views

Well, the past few weeks have definitely proved to me that I can never say never.

We already know I said I’d never be a dog owner and that I couldn’t stand dogs. Charlie proved me wrong though and I’m definitely head over heals for that precious little doggie who has stolen my heart!

Now, another never is no longer I never:

Ugh. I’m a Mini Van mom. There. I said it.

 

On a positive note it IS a sweet ride. I can’t tell you what it doesn’t have. I thought my Jeep was “fully loaded” but not next to this thing.

So never say never… because this happen, life happens. Sometimes it’s even a good thing!

Wordless Wednesday {Happy Valentine’s Day}

103 views

Hope everyone has had a wonderful Valentine’s Day this year!! I started the day by frosting over 50 cupcakes for the boys Valentine’s Day. Hubby said he’d go into work late to help me bring them all in. To my surprise he went in late because he had a contractor that helped build the house here at 8am. He’s having him finish our fireplace and mantle. I’m super excited because the stone is going to take our living room to the next level. He’s also going to put all the shelving that needed to be custom made for my kitchen cabinets. I didn’t want 3 lazy susans in my kitchen so we installed the granite counter top after hubby promised to built them. Well, it’s been 4 years and I’m still shelfless in my four biggest cabinets. There’s a bunch of other little stuff that he’s going to do too and I am so excited. That beats jewelry any day in my book. Of course at the end of the night he also brought me home roses and flowers and got calzones so I didn’t have to cook.

Here are the cupcakes I made. I made the rose frosting with the 1M tip going backwards.

These are the Valentine’s both boys made for their friends. They came out really good! They did a great job.

Charlie was given a gift from Hubby’s grandmother and well it’s officially his favorite toy.

Wordless Wednesday – Budding Artist

119 views

Remember the giveaway I ran in the fall for this Melissa & Doug easel from Gummy Lump? Well, we gave it to Gavin for Christmas. We knew it was going to be a hit but we didn’t realized just how much.

Even Johnny has fun pulling up a stool and having some art time on it. The most used and most loved part is definitely the dry erase board. We got him the Crayola dry erase crayons and they were a hit. They don’t wipe off well so we did end up getting some Expo spray for it and now it easily wipes clean every time.

Like Gavin’s latest creation? I thought the Sawyer addition in my tummy was adorable.

Wordless Wednesday – Sawyers Nursery Theme!

237 views

For weeks I’ve been talking about a specific nursery set for Sawyer. I technically already had a set but I was gender neutral and beige. The room I’ll be using cannot be painted or really decorated in anyway so it was going to leave the room really plain.

Problem?
I couldn’t talk hubby into it. It wasn’t a need and I was still in need of so many things. I got over my pouting and focused on the needs. I made a registry for my own use {which while being called tacky and presumptuous} was definitely useful. I was able to figure out everything I needed and wanted and put it together on one last. As I got things I was able to cross it off. Even if you’re like me and not receiving gifts I highly suggest the idea.

Then recently while gathering some nursery basics I saw my set was getting discontinued. When I asked about it I was told it wouldn’t be clearanced just not restocked as things were purchased. Of course I went into panic mode. I talked to hubby again and he still wasn’t on the same page as me. He didn’t see the point. The 9 piece set was $199 alone. The set did include the quilt, dust ruffle, 2 fitted sheets, diaper stacker, 3 piece wall art, and valance though.

So, what’s a girl to do?
I raided the house and listed a bunch on Craigslist. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it. I was able to find the mobile clearanced at a different store for half price. I sold more then I needed and last Friday I was off to BRU and look what I cam home with!!!

I got the 9 piece bed bag (quilt, dust ruffle, 2 fitted sheets, diaper stacker, 3 piece wall art, and valance) a second valance, lamp, rug, and blanket! It was the last bag set, rug, and lamp! There were no mobile’s either! I’m so glad I didn’t wait any longer! I definitely don’t regret it either.

Best part? Even though the bag alone was $199 I bought all the pieces pictured plus a bunch of other stuff and through my close out 10% discount, the sale going on with the bedding sets, and coupons I only paid $260 for it all! Score!
