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 pastRead more

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 keepRead more

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 3Read more

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 majorRead more

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 IRead more

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 oneRead more

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.Read more

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,Read more

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 thanRead more

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.Read more

Its that time again everyone! I’ve been out of town all weekend, so I’m really not feeling the whole “work” vibe for Monday. I’d rather get some relaxation in that I missed the last couple of days. But- I did get to see my little sister for her (gasp!) 13th BIRTHDAY! Yeah, She’s officially a teenager! Also,Read more

Happy President’s Day! Its hard to believe that February is already half over. How was your Valentine’s Day? Mine was uneventful- hubby and I are busting our humps to find a house to buy. Its a seller’s market in our area and it. is. stressful. Thank heaven’s I have President’s day off of work! (IRead more
