2 Minnie's Visited Our House!

You'll never guess who came all the way to little ole' me in Wyoming from Disney World.....

Not 1 but 2 Minnie Mouses! Yep, I am a very lucky girl! And just look how cute these Minnie's are!!!!

Miss Gracie chillin in the stroller

The girls trying to pose together, (why is it that no one can ever look at the camera at the same time?)

Almost the perfect picture though Teagan couldn't sit still because she always has to see what the picture looks like once I take it!

Here's the little ham again!

I must say for being homemade the Minnie outfits turned out pretty cute!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween... and unlike me didn't eat too much candy!

Finally another post! ha ha ha

I know I know...... I write a post about organizing my blog and posting more often and then I don't post something f-o-r-e-v-e-r! ha ha ha I've been a little busy but I'm now getting back to posting, hopefully on a daily basis but don't hold me to it!

Anywho, one of the busy projects has been putting in hardwood flooring.... okay it's laminate hardwood flooring, but it looks dang good! Almost like the real thing!

Here they are next to the soon to be "old" drapes...

A close up (probably shouldn't have taken one where you could see the seam oops)

A little blurry but here's the work in progress...

and more progress!

After about two days we had the floor finished but we have yet to finish the baseboard or transition trim! Hopefully, we get that done by the new year..... lol I guess it's just another thing to go on the list!

Ideas.....

So after looking around at the blogging community I decided I wanted to give my blog a little more structure! I want to post more about my experiences as a stay at home mom and what it is I do everyday. I also thought it would be a great to start blogging about meal planning and cooking! It's always fun to see how other moms structure their day and get some tips on how to be a more efficient stay at home mama! I know I can use some help! Okay some days a lot of help!

Here's the categories for posts to come:

I'm excited to have more direction for my blog..... maybe it will be a little more user friendly and show more of my day to day!

Fall Door Wreath

Made a little stop by Hobby Lobby and here's what I found......

and here's what I made with it! A new fall door decoration!

I usually do a grape vine wreath but I thought I would switch it up a bit! I like it!

Happy Fall!!!

Changed my blog name!

Sorry for any confusion! I had to change the name... it fits better and it's a small play on words!

Entryway Redo and more thinking too......

So here's the first item of business..... the entryway! This is the before.

Not horrible but hey if I'm not in love with it... you can bet I'm changing it!

Drum roll please.....

Here it is.... okay it probably didn't need that much of a buildup, but I love it!!!

We painted (and when I say we I mean I painted while my husband sat on a chair and watched ha ha ha) then we hung a pretty track light. I never thought that I would say pretty and track lighting in the same sentence but I was pleasantly surprised! After that I mapped out where I wanted these pretty girls to go and voila......




I still need to make yet another trip down to Colorado to this fabulous furniture store, that I just love, to get a great bench. Whenever I get this done I'll post the totally finished room! lol



Look at my babies! I love these pictures.... (WARNING: sappy moment to follow)....the whole wall shows everything I always envied about the love between sisters!
They are such wonderful little girls and I know every mom loves their babies but come on these girls are just sooooo cute and have personalities to boot! Both are so outgoing and loving!

Okay, I'll stop gushing but I just can't look at those pictures and not burst with pride! lol

Well, now I have to laugh because if you look through my blog I have already changed my living/dining room once.... since we have lived in this house I think I have changed the drapes and decor around 4 times..... ha ha ha and I am totally doing it again!

Here's the thing, my husband could care less what I decorate, how I decorate or when I decorate. He complains but truly has no interest in what color our walls or drapes are at all! So you can imagine my utter shock when my husband over heard me talking to my mom about how I love the color combination of powder blue, white, khaki, and black, and announced to me that he thinks I should change our living room to those colors!

I know right??!!!!?? My eyes popped out of my head! I had to clarify by asking him, "You mean you are telling me that I can totally change all the red and go get all new curtains, pillows.... the whole shebang?"

But here are the words that every wife loves to hear....

"Hunny do whatever you want!"

Well, hubbs you might just eat those words. Okay, maybe it won't be quite that dramatic but I have collected fabric samples and shown my wonderful hubby all of my ideas! (I figure I should see if he likes everything since he's supporting another decorating change!)

So, soon I will be posting all the inspiration I can find.... and hopefully in a few months I will have many more reveals! yay!
