Dreaming of the day...

We've enjoyed a couple spring like days lately, but this morning, as the first of our expected 8 more inches of fresh snow falls down, I'm dreaming of summer days.  Summer days when I can go out to my flower garden and pick these any time I want...


When we can enjoy ice cream treats on the deck...


Relax and make s'mores around the fire...


 Go fishing...

But for today, I'll hope it's our last winter storm of the season (probably not), and be thankful I'm cozy and warm inside.

Learning Time

I don't usually have to ask Isabella what she learned about in school, because as soon as she gets home, she's eager to show Jaymes what she has learned.  On this particular day she was showing him how to tell time.  I thought it was so cute how it looked like he was really enthralled with her teaching.  In no way did I think little mister 3 year old was "getting" any of it.  So imagine my surprise when later that night he looked up at the kitchen clock, and said, "It's 7:00".  It was indeed exactly 7:00.




Happy Kids


They FINALLY get to use their Christmas present for the first time!

Laundry Room Before and After

Our kitchen really was our last project, so I'm going out of order here.  We remodeled our laundry room last spring, I don't think I'll ever come close to getting this blog caught up!

Here is the laundry room before.  


And after...

I found this free printable on Pinterest, and just spray painted a frame to match.

I saw a similar printable on-line, and made my own in the colors I needed.

Before again...


And after... this was the biggest improvement to the room.  Monte put in the new sink, medicine cabinet, and lighting.

Another view of before.


And after.
