When you want to start a blog but have no idea what you are doing.....

Ok guys, its only fair to warn you, I seriously have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to starting a blog! I just wasn't born with that gene everyone else seems to have, where they automatically know all this technology junk and how to build this website and install that program...and all these terms that I have no idea what they even mean!

So we are starting out VERY BASIC.....yep, i'm your basic blogger here...

I have wanted to do this for so long, tried a couple of years ago and got so frustrated with the technology, so I gave up. But this time, I really want it to work! So stick with me as I learn and navigate my way in this computer world!

Some of my hopes on what this blog will be...
I expect it will have some randomness ( a bit like this current post....) but my heart is diy and design! I love projects and making ugly and dated into pretty and timeless! I wanted a place to come and share with you all my successes (and failures...) Share some things I have learned through the years and maybe help you avoid things that didn't turn out so great!!! I'm very excited about this and hope you find some things that interest you!
Aside from being an enthusiastic diy-er and lover of interior design, I'm also a mama and a wife. I'm quite sure evidence of that will leak into my posts. I hope that's ok. Sometimes you need another outlet, a place to share what you are feeling and dealing with in everyday life. Though I have always said I would keep a journal documenting my 3 wonderful, amazing, kiddos, I just never have taken the time. So I'm hoping to be able to record some of their cuteness along the way here, so as not to forget those precious moments.

I am excited to begin this blog and hope it grows into what I envision. I hope people read it and find something that interest them, or inspires them to start that next diy project! I promise to learn all I can about this blogging world and become better and better at this technical stuff :/

We (hubby and I) have some exciting things in the works for 2018 and I can't wait to share! stay tuned!!!

"Before" House Tour (part 1)

Hey guys! Thanks for all the sweet comments about us buying the new house! Your enthusiasm was appreciated! If you don't know how this flipper house came to be, you can click here to read the full story! We were able to get some work done over the weekend and its fun to start seeing things happening! We got all the old kitchen countertops removed and ripped off all the old backsplash. Who knew that could be so therapeutic, but swinging that hammer really relieved some stress! Our painter started as well and I cant wait to get over there and see his progress! Paint can make all the difference in the world! Ok, so before I get too far ahead, I did want to show you guys the inside pictures! I snapped quite a few and don't want to overload you all, so decided to break this up into two posts. Today I'll show you the main level and a few more of the outside! Let's get started! We definitely plan to have the outside painted, its a pretty house ...

New Front Door

Hey Guys!! First off, I just wanted to thank you all for your interest in what we are doing over here in this fixer upper of ours! I kinda got a wake up call last week, when I was asked on MANY occasions about how things at the house were coming along. As well as being asked when I was going to post more! I realized that people are reading and keeping up more than I expected! So the fact that you guys care is awesome!! I promise to strive to be more consistent with posting here on the blog. Sometimes life gets sooooo full and schedules are so busy, and I have put this on the back burner. But its something I love and get excited about, and the fact that you are all following along makes me even more excited! Another thing I've had to tell myself is, that I can't wait till things are "completed" to do an update! When I look around here, I feel that sooooo much is left to be done, and no single room feels completely finished yet. But that's ok! We are living in th...

Our Interior Paint Colors

We are officially moved into the house guys!!! Life has felt like a whirlwind the last couple of weeks!! We are trying to get back into normal routine and settle down a bit! ( is this really possible with 3 kiddos, 2 jobs, and living in a fixer upper??) I have so many things I want to catch you guys up on, but today is all about the paint colors we chose for the interior!! So unless you have been living under a rock, then you all know Chip and Joanna Gaines. Aside from their great show on HGTV, they also have a full line of products including home decor, clothing, accessories...Well recently they partnered with Kilz and launched a paint line!! I've been anxious to try the colors and now was my perfect chance!! One awesome thing they offer are these peel and stick samples! Since its so hard to pick a color from a computer screen, you can order these samples that are about 9x11" in size and they stick to your wall. You can really get a better effect of how...
