Boys will be boys

Welcome to one of Craig's typical lunch breaks...
Let the games begin!

Ethan starts it off with a grab to the face...


In response, Daddy throws Ethan into the air...


Ethan makes another grab for the face...


What will Daddy do about that?
He's gonna....


GET HIM!! Going for tickles on the chest and neck...(Ethan's most ticklish spot)


But in the end...They are best buds!


Then Mommy calls out for lunch time... And Ethan very nearly clears his tray off


That sure was yummy...Thanks Mommy!


Oh, how I love my life!!  God has blessed me with two wonderful guys...What more could I ask for? Yes, my life does have its up's and down's but I wouldn't trade a moment for anything that this world has to offer!

In Full Bloom

Well, spring is right around the corner. The birds are chirping outside my window and the trees in our back yard are getting their leaves back. So with all of this in mind, I have decided to decorate my house for spring. I have chosen gerbera daisies and mums as my main decor...They are just so friendly and cheerful, I couldn't resist!


A while back, I made this cork board and it has turned out to be one of my favorite decorating pieces in my house. It's just cork tiles that I put in a bold black frame. I love to post scripture verses on it, and add some sort of decoration to it. So this is what I have decided to go with for this spring...


You can't really tell what the scripture verse says, so i will tell you. I searched for something that had to do with spring and found these verses in Song of Solomon. "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come..."

I wanted something new and fun for our dining room table. I already knew that I wanted to do something with the daises and mums, but couldn't figure out what exactly to do. I looked at all different kinds of vases, but none of them fit the look and feel that I was going for. So then I went over to the garden section and found this little green pot. I fell in love with it! It fits perfectly and is definitely something that I have never done before!


Now that I already knew the color scheme and the look that I was going for, I started keeping my eyes open for things that I could add to my spring collection. So a few days ago, I wondered into Cato's (pretty much the best store ever) and found the perfect candle holder...And it was on sale! I only saw one right off the bat but after looking around for a little bit, I found another one. What a great day!


So what does it look like all together? Let me show you...


There was only one more thing missing now. I had flowers and spring colors on my buffet and on my table, but our entertainment center was looking a little dull. So i decided to add some spring happiness over there. This is the best picture I could get of it...not that great, but it gives you an idea of what it looks like!


I love spring time, and the life and freshness that comes with it...So enjoy the happiness that this season has to offer!

Sweet Beginnings

     I'm finally taking the plunge into the blogging world.  Why have I decided to take the plunge?  The answer is simple.  I have a love for decorating/organizing my house, crafting, cooking, and anything that has to do with being a full time wife and mother
     Sometimes I will create something, come up with a clever solution, or have a wonderful day with my family and wish to share it with others...But facebook doesn't offer a very good way to share these life experiences!  Therefore blogging was the next solution on the list!
     I don't have any pictures to post just yet, but they are to come...When I finally do get some posted, I hope you enjoy them! =)
