I'm still here

Friends. I'm still alive and breathing. Although it might not seem like it. I miss you. I miss writing and posting and all that. Somehow life has crept in and sneakily claimed a lot of my time and attention. BUT I have lots of new stuff planned for the blog and will be posting more again, I promise. Pinky swear.

Life lately...

:: Mother's Day ~ was a sweet day with husband taking care of the kids most of the day, serving me breakfast in bed (he snuck out and bought it from the local cafe), and he gave me a lamp (in the pic above) that I love.

:: I painted the family room last week and I am head over heels with the new color (you can see a sneak peek in the pic above). I'll show you more pics soon. It is fresh and perfectly gray/blue and just right for summer.

:: I also painted the porch floor on Saturday. STRIPES, my friends. Gray stripes on an old wood floor. Perfection. I know it's annoying not to see pictures, but I will show them soon.

:: Some flower planting going on but more needs to be done. The garden is giving us lettuce and spinach for salads. We took out pretty many trees in our back yard in the past few years and are finally getting around to removing stumps and making things look prettier.

:: I've been working on updating my website and have a photo shoot planned this week with Michelle for website photos. SO excited to work with her! I'm also working on a new look for the blog. Lots of techy things that take so long to work on, because I don't have a clue and I'm learning as I go.

:: My oldest turned seven yesterday. I took her shopping to the craft store and she was in heaven. She is a girl after my own heart.

:: Tonight is a girls' night with my sister, sister-in-laws, and mom. Cannot wait for some crazy girl talk.

Have a great week, friends!
