What I Have Been Up To……

Stacy — Mon, 20 May 2013 10:00:40 +0000

So what have I been up to? Because it certainly hasn’t been blogging! At least not as much as usual. I went from 4+ posts a week to 2 as soon as April hit. It has been crazy around here. I think May rivals December as my busiest time of year. Spring hits and not [...]

Sorry this is up a little late. I somehow forgot to hit “schedule” so it would post by itself. When I checked this morning, I noticed it wasn’t up yet. Here we go…… Hello!!! I finally posted a project yesterday. I know it has been awhile. That is the downside of tackling a big ugly [...]

Spring Mantel

Stacy — Mon, 13 May 2013 22:11:07 +0000

It finally stopped snowing here in Utah so I decided to finish my spring mantel. I didn’t have the motivation to do it when I was still snuggled up with the fireplace roaring. But it has been sunny for a week straight so to celebrate here is my springy, yellow, mantel!!! Another reason I held [...]

HELLO!!! I am back and ready to go. In fact, I posted TWICE yesterday. I had a good break last week. I got (sort of) caught up on cleaning and spent some quality time with my family. I also brainstormed for an upcoming site redesign. I want to make this blog easier to navigate [...]

I am in a book! {and a beautiful giveaway}

Stacy — Mon, 06 May 2013 15:34:42 +0000

I have something fun to share with you today! My Mason Jar Planter has been featured in a book :) I have been featured in several magazines but this is my first time in a book. And it is a topic that I adore. I have plants all over my house. I love gardening as much as DIY projects so it is a natural thing to have so many plants around.

Pretending to be teenagers again……

Stacy — Mon, 06 May 2013 10:00:49 +0000

I don't get all mushy often but even non-mushy people deserve to gush a little on their anniversary :)

I love this man. We have been married 13 years today. We are ridiculously happy but it has been hard most of the time. We married young (he was 24 and I was just shy of 21) and started our family only 18 months later. We have experienced 3 lay offs, deaths in our family, mistakes/forgiveness, a miscarriage, extended family drama, and have always struggled financially. But we also have experienced the birth of four amazing little boys, our first house, lots of quality time with family, and have supported each other in every endeavor. We are rich in what matters most. We have the same goals. We are on the same parenting page. We are total nerds together. And we have so much FUN!

Playing catch up….

Stacy — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 10:00:29 +0000

We have had the flu bug at our house for over a week and I finally caught it Saturday evening. That, along with biting off more than I can chew, has led me to the conclusion that I need a tiny breather. I am going to take the week off. I have the linky party [...]

Office Closet Makeover {The Big Reveal!}

Stacy — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:00:48 +0000

After surviving spring break with the kids home, two bouts of the stomach flu, and what seemed like endless days of dark gloomy skies, I FINALLY had a day where I could do a photo shoot for my office closet makeover. We had a sunny day and my husband was home to wrangle the kids :)

Hexagon Greenhouse

Stacy — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:09:08 +0000

I have always wanted an indoor greenhouse but the ones I have come across were too small. I decided to figure out a way to make one myself.

I was originally going to build one from scratch but when I found this 6 foot curio cabinet on our local classifieds for only $25 I knew I couldn't build one for that cheap. I came up with a plan to transform it into the greenhouse of my dreams :)
