Kindergarten Graduation

Kade has officially graduated Kindergarten. I can't believe my little baby is going to be a 1st grader. That's just insane. His school provided a personalized dvd and a portfolio (see below) for his graduation. This makes me sad, I can't believe our schools will pay for something like this but expects the teachers to provide supplies for their classes. This is just dumb.

My 28 day journey continued...

I posted a month ago that I was starting a 28 day program written by Denise Linn, since then I have been very slow about doing it....lazy would probably be a good word to describe whats been going on. I started doing other projects and getting wrapped up in other things instead of doing something I know will be helpful to me. I am rededicating myself in the month of June to take control of some things that I have been putting off or just being plain lazy to start. I am looking for someone to help me start becoming a Reiki master, but I have already started doing some work with my Chakra's to get prepared for this big step that I would like to take. I am also going to have make a big jump in my exercise and healthy eating routine. As I go I will probably post more....at least if my Mom had her wish I would be very dedicated to posting on here!

The Infamous Hutch....

My new project is an awesome find on craigslist. I found a gorgeous solid wood hutch for a cool $100 bucks....thanks to my hubby and his dad for driving an hour away to pick it up!!!! These are the before picks....I will update with my progress.

This is the top half!

This is the bottom half! I plan on refurbishing the hardware, I like the classic look of it but it needs to be updated with a little spraypaint!

The Loft....

We have lived in our house for just over two years now...our loft has looked so plain and unwelcoming the whole time but since it is out of view when company comes over we just haven't done anything with it. We had some friends give us a couple couches for the loft and they just sat in the garage because I refused to take them up there until we painted the walls....whats the use of moving stuff when your just going to have to move it again! Finally bought the paint and then it still took me a couple weeks to get up the umpf to start working on it. Well its finally finished, minus a few small touches. Here is the end product!

Kade's First Play


Kade performed in April. He was a garbage man for a play the kindergartners put together. He had a lot of fun and I got a kick out of watching him. Here are a couple picks.
