Master Bathroom Update

Our master bath is coming together.  The mirrors are up, the blinds are installed, the countertops and bookshelf are styled and organized, and items are up on the wall.  We still have a few things to do.  We need a door handle for the water closet door, a trim piece still needs to be installed where the countertop meets the cabinet, and we need a hand towel, bath towel, and toilet paper hardware installed.  I would also like a stool by the tub for shampoo, soap, and conditioner, and I would love to paint the bookshelf white and the shelf by the door white where I can store some of my essential oils.  So close and so excited to finally be finishing this space.

This project, this tiny completed … [Read more...]

A Visit to the Portland Temple

My sister and her kids came to town a couple weeks ago and we took them to the temple.  I love visiting our temple, love taking the kids there.  Such a special place.  We also stopped by our Visitor’s Center.  The kids did a picture scavenger hunt and we were able to learn about the life of Jesus Christ.  We ended our time there with a video that showed the progression of our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, from its restoration to today.  So inspiring to think about all that has happened in such a short time.  Such a wonderful day spent at a place I love with people I love. … [Read more...]
