I’m still trying to get back into the swing of blogging. I’m still feeling kind of sluggish as we slowly get back into the swing of things. We started back to school on Monday and with that we are working to get back into routine. So hang with me will you as I dive back [...] Read more »
In a {Navy} Blue Mood
You all know I’ve been going around in circles about the paint for my living room.

Master Bedroom: When No Progress is Forward Progress
Do you ever feel like you have these super! fantastic! out of this world! great! ideas only to discover that they won’t work? Yeah…me too. {Or maybe I’m alone and no one else feels that way!} On Saturday {when I had Nolan’s slave labor help} I decided to try a few things in our master [...] Read more »
