I can’t believe what Anderson and John found wh

I can’t believe what Anderson and John found when they went out to buy me a Coke Zero. My coping drink while patching up some drywall and last bit of painting.

He does not have a very common name so you can imagine how excited and surprised he was to find this at our convenience store down the street ❤️

It’s the little things that keep us all going right now 🥰.

Never a dull moment here 🤯🤯

I didn’t even hear him get up there. He has learned to climb the counters with out a chair just using the handles on drawers.

I know I mostly write about food/wellness but woul

I know I mostly write about food/wellness but would anyone be interested in me posting about our house renovation? It was almost a total gut job all while living in it. 🤯. I kept quiet about most of it because while going through it I was holding on by a thread mentally. I could barely manage anything.

It was one of the hardest times in our life. I was acting as general contractor and designer, John contractor at times, and finally hiring some great sub contractors.

We started 3 years ago and now finished putting it on the market. Finally done. It’s very bitter sweet but the army has us moving again and decided to let it go, hopefully to another awesome family. It has taken me a long time to talk about the renovation because I was also at some serious breaking points in my life mentally. I did not manage the stress well during all of it and learned so much about taking care of myself and speaking up for what I really need.

I would love to share our experience, lessons, and most important I think the reality of renovating while living in a house,working full time, budget problems, and raising a young family in it.

So, let me know! I would love to share our story.

Trying to have fun this morning ❤️. The littles woke up on the wrong side of the bed and trying to keep things moving to get out the door.

Fun flipping eggs to lighten things up 😂.

Construction/renovation stuff are such a part of my life for past three years I don’t know if I know what I will do without them around 🤯🤯🤯. Down to the final touches, just in time to sell 🤣😂

This was such a great quick dinner bowl! Baked BB

This was such a great quick dinner bowl! Baked BBQ chicken with Colby jack, spinach, roasted broccoli, peppers, and cucumbers, topped with a little ranch.

Now that the sun is setting earlier, I need to learn some new photography skills to adapt to the lack of natural light.

And like that she is 12. Thank you to @jordanlibe

And like that she is 12. Thank you to @jordanliberty and @wetnwildbeauty for the awesome inspiration for her bday party. We all had a blast creating and using all the products from Wet and Wild’s Fantasy makers.

It brought me right back to 1992 when I was 12!! ❤️❤️❤️

Even when you are 40, don’t forget to have fun and get back to that youth left in your heart ❤️
