Welcome Home

Welcome home..

This Summer 2014 we signed a lease on a great house. Even though it's a Rental it's in fantastic shape plus it's in a great little neighborhood that is within walking distance to a lake/park.

We are fully moved in and have been here for about 3 weeks. So far all 3 kids have made friends and most nights can be found riding bikes and playing legos outside in the driveways until the streetlights come on.

It's been so nice being able to tell the kids to go play and have fun but to come inside when the Streetlights come on in the evenings, We've never done that before.

Yesterday I was busy getting the 2 younger kids enrolled in their new School and Crystal is getting ready to start her Virtual schooling on-line. School starts in another 2 weeks and I will be getting those school supplies bought.

I hope to have a few rooms and vignettes to share with you very soon. 

Enjoy your Week!

New Zip Code- We've Moved

We've moved!

We are unpacking boxes and setting up a new house that we are Leasing.

After 2 years in an exceptionally small house, It was time to move forward.

I'm very excited to show you our new space and all the decorating options that I now have.

It's been a very long 2 weeks of packing up the old house and car-loads back and forth from old house to new house. We are in the home stretch though with minimal cleaning at the old house.

For now I will be putting up my feet and enjoying the rest of my Sunday.

Summer Time Fun!

School is out and so far no one has started to complain about how bored they are.

We had fun the other night with a Red Colander, a Flashlight and our ceiling in the living room. It was Abigail's idea and we danced!

So that's what we are doing so far, having fun and trying to enjoy this Summer while working full time, not an easy feat considering how tired I am when I get home.

This wekend was a good one, haven't had such a nice relaxing weekend in many months. I puttered and organized and have a huge pile to drop off at Goodwill. Richard was on-call so we could't travel far from the house which turned out to ne a Blessing since I got alot done. The kids played and had friends over and we had a small bonfire with S'mores...It was so hot outside but fun.

Still searching for another House but I'm decorating and organizing this one to make it more Cozy while we are still here, who knows at this point we might stay.

Have a Great week my Friends!

Tough Decisions...House Hunting

So our lease here is up in August and we are very much ready to move.

Our search is taking some time because we really want to keep our 3 kids in the same schools since all 3 are doing FAB!!!

House 1:

This is an older pic, there are houses built on either side today. This is in a Subdivision.

We took the kids to look inside last night and almost signed a lease on it, then we went out to dinner and the kids told us they hated it, it was just okay of an house.

I have to be honest too...as we were waiting for the realtor to show up I was getting less and less excited to live in a Subdivision again, I didn't get that "WOW" feeling about this house.

I think for me I have lost that decorating "Mojo" since leaving our house in OH.

The searching goes on....
