Demolition - Part One

Well, I'm happy to post that after 10 years of waiting,  we are getting a new master bathroom.

Our RED bathroom  (not sure what I was thinking 10 years ago) 

has always been a place that the hubby and I have talked about fixing. 

With two girls, a mortgage and the expenses of life, we have never been able to make this possible.

 Thank you to my Mom, who blessed each of my siblings with some "Home Improvement Funds," this past Christmas.

 Thankfully, this is all about to change...Thank you Mama, I love you!

Good Bye Mold!

Let the demolition begin...

 Jim had a funny comment about this...

All I'm going to say is... Thank you for 10 years of flushes! :D

 Two weeks of sharing one bathroom will be worth it in the end... 

more pics coming soon.

Krazy for my Keurig

Who is over the top giddy about her new coffee machine?

 Well, that would be me!

 I have wanted this bad boy for a while now and my hubby surprised me with it on Valentine's Day. 

You should have seen me putting in my first K-cup...

You would have thought I had just won the lottery by the look on my face. :D

No more pouring water and spilling it all over the place. 

Yes, that would happen on occasion. 

Btw, this is my favorite cup too ( Thank you Cindy). Now, time for some tea...

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I love walking into my little girls room and reading her board.

She changes it all the time and I always try to remember to take a picture.

Her heart is sweet and it knows truth. I am blessed...

                                                           15 balloons for 15 years....

Kylie wore her new black and white heart top to school today.

Yes, homework on Valentine's Day!

This was her message to me on the way to school...

I love when I get these...

I helped in Camryn's class today while she worked on her stitching of the US.

She always runs up and gives me a big hug and kiss when I walk in.

My heart always melts....

Cam blew me away with her Valentine gift for Jim and I. 

She made these cupcake blow pop flowers all by herself.

 I asked her where she got the idea? She said Pinterest! I looked up kids ideas Mom. 

That's my girl...

Have a lovely day my friends...

To my hunk a hunk a love,

you have my heart,

I love you!

Grandma's Macaroni Salad

The hubby and I are having our neighbor's over for dinner tonight and decided to attempt his Mom's, "Macaroni Salad." It is thee best!!  I took a picture of this beauty and can hardly wait to eat it once it chills.

Thank you Grandma Emiko!
Your recipe will ALWAYS be a secret...:)
(I sound like Aunt Rosie huh?)

Valentine's Soda Pop & Popcorn

Well, I don't know about you, but when I was little I used to love drinking soda (which wasn't quite often) out of a glass bottle. I saw some cute decorated soda bottles on-line, so I decided to pick some up and make Valentine's gifts. Walmart sells these 6 packs for $2.76. I picked up a few of my favorite flavors and went to work.

       I found this printable at //www.kappaprep.com/ 

                                                         I've got a CRUSH on you...

                       

                              I'm Crushing on this Grape...I LOVE this Chevron Print too!

WHITE CHOCOLATE CONFETTI POPCORN

I also ventured out and made some white chocolate covered popcorn!

 I was a busy bee today but had so much fun!

Ingredients:

Orville Redenbacher's microwaveable Tender White Popcorn

1 bag of Wilton's Confetti Candy Melts from Michaels

1 bag of M&M's

Melt Chocolate  

When chocolate is almost done 

pop a bag of popcorn in your microwave.

I used 1 1/2 bags 

Pour melted chocolate over popcorn

Mix gently (Or you will break up your popcorn, like I did) :))

Lay on wax or parchment paper to cool

Bag, tag, ribbon and enjoy....

Valentine's Goody Bags

Well, I'm so new at this Blog thing and I already feel so behind. I sat down last night and made some cute little goody bags for my daughter's Girl Scout party. Here is a peek!

                                                                        Supplies:

Candy, Bag, Doilies, Baker's String, Hole Punch and stickers that I added at the end. 

No More Brace Face

Well, today was an exciting day!

My oldest got her braces off and boy oh boy was she excited!

I brought my camera along to record the event.

Ohhh, how Kylie loved that!!

This is why Ky needed braces...

Yes, I have her full permission to put this on my blog!

On our way!

See Ky's name?

           

     The reason why I love it here..

Free Starbucks and cookies while you wait! Really!!

Doesn't everyone watch a big screen while they are waiting at the Orthodontist?!

See the excitement in her face...

Brush...Brush... Brush
