Hi All! I was so honored to be featured over at Blue Cricket Design this past weekend. Becca of Blue Cricket Design said so many kind things about my blog, it totally made my weekend. Thank you so much Becca! I absolutely love her site, she has so many great DIY projects. Go on over there and check it out for your self.

Good morning all! Ahhh, what a great weekend this past weekend was. Friday we went over to a friends and I had one of the most amazing meals of my life! The steak was prepared in such a simple fashion, just salted and set to rest but was so delicious. I have in-laws coming this weekend and think I might give this a try. Then on Father’s Day we rented a pontoon and the kiddo’s went fishing with dad, it was priceless! How was your weekend?


Now that summer is in full swing I have a lot of friends that are going away for long vacations and thought this travel journal’s by Crackeddesign would be a perfect gift bon voyage gift.

Yep, that’s right my other kiddo is sicko! I had a friend and her son over for dinner last night and my son comes lethargically walking in from playing outside saying that he and “the boys” (these are his imaginary friends) need to take a break and relax on the couch. Both Chrissy and I look at each other in the state of shock because my son is usually bounding about this house as a force to be reckoned with. Needless to say within the hour he spikes a fever and projectile vomits all over the family room. My poor little “Big Guy” is sick. I’m really hoping that my friend and her son don’t get this flu bug. I will be keep ing my fingers crossed.


On that note, I’m going to keep this short and sweet but wanted to share this great DIY tutorial on how to make over a dresser from Craigslist.

Good morning all! Gosh, my life has been a little crazy! My daughter Katelyn has been sick for the past couple of days with a fever and it’s put my whole life on hold. All is well now and it feels so good to have a healthy little gal. Ahhh! How have you all been? Hopefully avoiding this summer flu that seems to be going around.

Okay gals, I was just getting ready to shut down my computer for the night when I came across this email from Graham & Green. Oh my gosh do I totally love all of these Union Jack motif items.
