Well we've done it! We are officially into our new house and OUT of our old place. I can't even tell you how sore I am from all that moving, not to mention the blisters I have from paint rollers. In 2 days we've managed to paint 4 colors and Primer over a total of [...]

I'm writing this Sweet Sharing Monday from my hotel room in Chicago. Working for da man this Monday and Tuesday in a conference, but I'll be back home by Wednesday. And you know what happens after that? Friday we move into our new HOUSE!!!! Aaahh! We got all the paperwork done and signed this past [...]

Its finally here! This is the week that we close on the house!!  We don't take possession until the 17th. But This is the week we get to throw our boatload of down payment/closing costs at it!! Actually... now that I put it that way... maybe I'm not so excited. Well, I'll try and keep [...]

Happy Monday!! I'm happy to say that its NOT freezing here in GR today, and that's giving me a bright outlook on this week! I hope that it stays springy and gets even warmer! Hubby and I are in full blown packing mode, and I CANNOT WAIT to get into the new house in 3 [...]

Well, its been one heck of a weekend here in Grand Rapids. We're experiencing 100 year highs in the grand river, flooding is rampant downtown and there are sand bags everywhere. Its been a nerve wracking experience to say the least. Power is off and on as the river is touching some of the major [...]

Happy Monday! I somehow feel asleep last night and slept right through doing Sweet Sharing  Monday! I suppose that means I needed it. The good news is, I fell asleep to snow and rain, and woke up to 56 degree partly cloudy! C'mon Michigan! I'm ready for spring!! I need some hot weather so I [...]

Well, its been a productive weekend for me! I've been working on deep cleaning the house while simultaneously doing some furniture refinishing. So, needless to say I am pooped. This weekend has been tough on me, but I did manage to take a break to share my DIY Facial Moisturizer recipe! Anyhoo, its the one [...]

Alright, alright, back to work. I've had a long weekend but its time to buckle down. I hope you had a great holiday weekend and got some much needed R&R. I had a good time (and travel) hopping all over to visit the family- and my Marshmallow Minecraft Creepers were a hit with the sibs. [...]

Happy Monday everyone! Its the last week before Easter and you know what that means! Four day week for me!! ♥ I've got Good Friday off but hubby doesn't, so I'll be chillaxin' the day alone and we'll head off to our home town in the evening. Still- going to be a very nice trip, [...]

Well, its been an unproductive weekend. Oh, but don't worry! That's a good thing. I've been longing for a weekend like this. Did some antiquing, made some Creeper Peeps (Creeps) - my first attempt at a home made marshmallow I might add- and little else. I'm sure all of you were way more productive than [...]

You know, I'd like to skip this Monday. I unexpectedly had to work Saturday and had an Expo to attend on Sunday and for that I feel like I haven't relaxed at all. Also, I'm battling a wicked sinus infection that makes me feel all around icky- and Daylight Saving Time is down right mean. [...]
