Hey Y'all
There is SO much I'd like to post today....like pictures of our home, holiday celebrations, etc...BUT it's not going to happen and this is why:
I want to make the blog Private.
Reason #1: I have looked at people's pictures on their blogs and know almost instantly where they live, and the thought that some weirdo could figure that out if I do post pictures of our home kinda freaks me out.
Reason #2: I have like 10,000 some odd page views, and I average .25 comments a post. No, this is not a ploy to get you to comment, I just feel uncomfortable that the distinct difference in numbers means that it's not just my friends or friends of friends looking at our fam.
Reason #3: I like to post personal things. Not having my blog private has hindered that somewhat, even though I have gotten personal here. I just want peace of mind. I want to know who I'm sharing my thoughts/feelings with. Ya know?
Anyways, you know the drill. Leave your email in the comments and I will add you to the list. I don't care if we've never met, I just want to know who sees this. I have friends that I've never actually met in real life, yet feel close to because of blogs and/or facebook (you know who you are!)
Also, I'll post on facebook when I update since it will not show up in your feeds. If we are not facebook friends, come find me so we can be!
I'll leave this up for a bit before I change it. But I will admit that I am kinda anxious to post pictures!

Seriously, I have found so many cool ideas/recipes/games etc on that site. I now search it like I used to search Google! So I thought it might be fun to post my fave finds from there..

Butterbeer Cupcakes
Cinnamon Roll Cake
Another yummy baked good...do you see a trend here? Tastes just like a cinnamon roll but in 1/4 of the time
Whole Wheat tortillas
so yummy and so easy to roll out very thin. Most recipes are hard to get super thin, but this one was perfect
homemade jewelry cleanerWorked SOOOO good.
kitchen soap standso cute and so functional. I hate sticky soap all over the sink, and this solves that problem!

Pallet Shelves

So easy, so quick, so cheap, and huge impact!
Yummy and easy! Paired with the wholewheat tortillas it makes for a delicious gourmet feast
And last but not least, all the beautiful and/or funny words I read. The link is to my "Quote" board. I couldn't decided on my favorite to post, but this one perfectly describes our lives right now. I came across it at a time that I needed it the very most. So on top of being filled with fantastic ideas or recipes, pinterest inspires me to be a better human being. A better mom, friend, wife, sister, and neighbor.
So, what are a few of your favorite pinterest things? :)

Busy Decorating
I've been busy unpacking and now that it is mostly done, I've shifted my focus to decorating.
I changed up the color scheme of our living space quite a bit...so that meant I had to kind of start over. But working on a budget of basically nothing, I've had to get creative. Which, if you know me that's what I do!
We painted before we moved in and we sold our old couches and got a new sectional. Ahh....clean slate. It's a beautiful thing!
But now I have oodles of things that need to be re purposed to fit the new style. Most of those items are picture frames that are easily re painted. Then I had to fill them of course! I'm still in the process, but this one is my favorite! I used the landscape one in an 8x10 frame. As usual, I couldn't resist not sharing it!

This one is a very odd shaped frame, so virtually nothing actually fits in there...unless you can make it yourself! 4x10
And I must say, they go perfectly with my yellow door!
