Laundry Room Shelves

I spent some time while I was in Utah styling my sister's laundry room shelves.  We also worked together to paint the dresser in the laundry room.  She DIYed the shelves while I was there.  She ordered the black pipes off Amazon and bought the wood from Home Depot.  She installed the pipes into studs and stained the wood shelves and they turned out perfectly.  Dresser took 2 plus coats of chalk paint and she distressed and waxed it with clear wax. To style the shelves, we just took a few minutes and gather a few things she had on hand, lots of neutrals and baskets, and pops of green.  It just took a quick few minutes to put it all together.  She will probably rework it a bit to make it more functional, but she has it styled and put together and can change it up item by item while it still feels put together.  Love this space! … [Read more...]

San Fransisco

We celebrated my husband's 40th in San Fransisco.  We stayed in the center of the city in a hotel with views of the surrounding high rises and a sliver of the bay.  We visited Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, and China Town.  We walked and walked up and down hills, stopping to see all the shops and eating at all the places.  We rode on the buses and trolleys all around the city.  We visited a church service on Sunday.  Steve plotted a 13 mile run across the Golden Gate Bridge and made it happen. I went to see Hamilton, so incredible.  We also tracked down the Full House home, though we were a bit disappointed it was under construction.  We ate Ghiradilla Square, one of the best hot fudge brownie sundae I've ever had, at Bay Street Pizza twice, tacos from a yummy street vendor, incredible grilled cheese sandwiches, and way to many cannoli.  Such an incredible trip! We both are discovering how much we love travel.  We love getting away from it all and heading out on an adventure, we love … [Read more...]

Easter Celebration & Easter Baskets

Easter this year consisted of a Saturday Easter egg hunt with a couple cousins, Sunday morning Easter baskets, a wonderful Easter church service, took a bunch of post church selfies with my favorite people, had a yummy Easter dinner of ham loaves and sour cream potatoes, a visit to London's grave, a family Easter lesson, and ended the evening with delicious lemon poppyseed cake. Such a wonderful day.  I loved visiting London's grave, Steve talked to the kids about Christ's resurrection and that through Him London will be resurrected one day and we will be reunited with her.  So incredibly grateful for Him and for the knowledge that we will see our daughter again. The baskets for the kids were so fun to put together.  Here is what I put in each child's basket. Jakob (15) :  Tie, spiritual John Bytheway CD, candy, swimsuit, and earbuds. Isabelle (12) : Easter top, Little Women DVD, candy, swimsuit, and earbuds. Karter (10) :  Tie, funny spiritual CD, candy, swimsuit, and sidewalk … [Read more...]
