For awhile now, I have been contemplating how to share {in a meaningful way} many of the other bloggers that I follow in this big ol’ blogosphere. There are SO many great minds out there sharing their wealth of knowledge, creativity, and encouragement that I can’t possibly keep that to myself. But, it’s super hard. [...]
It’s just one of those weeks. Michael is on for 4 – 24 hour firefighter shifts (that’s not normal btw). Do the math and that’s 96 hours this week. Needless to say, this will be short and sweeet for all you beautiful ladies who follow along here – yes, YOU! I’m loving the cute little [...]

I’ve been pretty occupied scouting out furniture and decor for the Beach house and came across this beauty awhile ago. I decided to refinish it in ASCP Graphite with dark wax. Here’s a SNEAK PEEK! Just waiting on some hardware and “cure” time. On another note, we’re off to a friend’s [...]
Ok…so I know I’m not a beauty blog, but I think in the midst of house-cleaning, painting clothes, landscaping clothes, and work-out clothes, I’m reminding myself that YES, I am a girly-girl at heart! First of all, I am in no way affiliated with anyone with this company, nor am I being compensated in any [...]
