How do they do it?

Bloggers. How do they do it? 

I've realized my life has become more "full" since buying our house. We keep busy with things like cutting tree branches, blowing insulation into the attic, installing kitchen hardware, cleaning wood floors, and cleaning more wood floors. With school starting back up (first quarter in the books!) I've been running around with my head cut off for the last few months. Its been almost 4 months since I last blogged. I miss it BUT priorities got in the way.


It's good to be back, Blogosphere!

Thanks to those of you who have asked or commented about the house. There's not a day that goes by that I don't tell Mark," I love our house!" or "I'm so thankful for this house".


Seriously, it's an earthly reminder of God's love for us.

I'll save the 4 months of reflection and get to what you really want to see...updates!



Stairway, all me baby!


 I filled holes, sanded, primed, and painted these on my own. Curtsy.

Blankets hung with pant hangers, that's how we rolled for 3 months.

Finally found "The One" curtain. Look for a whole post on that dilemma.

Before: Half Bath On the Main Level


Not much progress, talk about a room full of procrastination...

I'm ready for a dishwasher!

Maybe by the end of this week I'll have something beautiful to show.

Can I get two claps for this?! 
This was the first week I parked in the garage! 
 We're officially settling in!

The Kitchen and Family Room.....


I'm leaving you in suspense until tomorrow. Uploading pictures made my own mouth drop. Check back to see My Pinterest Kitchen created by my dad, my husband, and helpful friends! 

I'm 25 and humbly blessed!
