Its been awhile

Wow, its been awhile since I posted.  I need to step it up a bit because a lot has gone on since school started for us.  Layna loves school.  She is learning so much and thriving....She is becoming such a sweet, loving little girl.  Layna continually tells me how much she loves me, how beautiful things are in the house, and thanks me for doing the daily things that I always do for the kiddos.  It is the sweetest thing ever.  She truly makes my day by saying these sweet words. Hunter, my crazy boy is growing so fast.  He is super active and is now talking.  He says many words just trying to keep up with his sister.  He climbs on everything and tries to get into EVERYTHING.  What a difference between boys and girls!  

Another reason why I have been gone awhile is because TJ has been coaching football and we all know high school football is the next NFL league.  He has been gone most of the time since August.  Throughout this fall Tj has told me multiple times that I need to find a hobby.  Its true....as many moms do, I have spent the past 3 1/2 years raising my babies. My focus is on them.....Well since TJ can have a hobby (football) why can't I?  Right? 

During the past 4yrs I had thought my knack for design and decorating flew out the window with the two pregnancies.  I thought I had lost it.  Well maybe not.....I have been doing many projects the past month or so.  These include reupholstering my sofa, redesigning my dining room which includes painting walls, chairs from craigslist, reupholstering the chairs and designing a bench for the table, redecorate my bedroom for under $100, designing a picture wall for the playroom and my new project is to antique this coffee table to go with the new pad.  Wow....it seems like a lot when I type it out like that.  I have done reupholstering, stenciling and antiquing all int he past 3 weeks!  Yes, I am tired because I work and raise my two kiddos and it was football season so no hubby..... So you ask when this all happens....NAPTIME.  The most wonderful time for the day!!!!!  So I think I am going to start a design/ decorating, family blog..... It will stay a simple kind of life because that it is....I take old things and make them new, cool techniques to add some flair to a room and paint....the best discovery out there PAINT....it can change a whole room's look without much expense.  I will start by posting before an after pics once I get my act together.  I am excited about this....its tons of fun and something I love to do.  Layna also loves it....she makes it a point to tell me how beautiful the things I have done are and how thankful she is that I made it beautiful....TOO CUTE!
