Happy New Year from our family to yours!


We started off the evening with our own little family party.

My sister and BIL were in town for all the festivities.



We sang...


We danced...


Some of us pouted...

Sang some more...


and then we counted down and the boys did the balloon drop!


Drake loved it! Afterwards, we shipped off the kids, and hosted an adult PAR-TAY and invited some friends from our church.

We laughed...
Played air hockey and darts...



Guitar Hero III...



Sang...




And this time Jason and I were in charge of the balloon drop!




Happy New Year Ladies!!

Happy New Year!

Nothing says Happy New Year more than bad karaoke. Especially when I'm singing.

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

Powder Bath Make Over

I'm featuring my OTT bathroom make over for Tip Junkie's Talk to me Tuesda y!! My sister, Lisa , came into town over the weekend. So you know what that means - Project Time!! This time we did a huge make over on my downstairs power bath room. It's been completely ignored and needed some TLC. Here's the before picture. Before (brown iron) After!! I've been designing this project in my head for months. I had originally planned on doing this in my upstairs guest bathroom but the ceiling isn't as tall and it's a funky shape - so the concept wouldn't work. After much deliberation, I decided to just Go For It! Lisa took video of the bathroom so you could see it. Thanks Sis! First, we taped the baseboards and measured out the stripes. I was completely inspired by the trash can (pictured below). I kept the base paint color the same (Monarch Summer Suede) and painted the stripes using BEHR's Pearlescent Gold Veil. (pictured above) I purchased all the towels ...
