FITori organized simplicity | Grocery Gadget iPhone app!

April 22, 2011 home April 22, 2011

I am starting another new series about “Organized Simplicity” which is a term I stole from the Simple Mom and her book, “Organized Simplicity.” I’m adding the book to my Amazon links on the sidebar to the right! Read more here. As I progress on my journey toward more simple solutions to organize my life, I want to share those things with you!  I am realizing that adding a child to my life will require MORE organization and making things MORE simple is the only way to go!  So, you’ll notice a new category “home management” that I’ll be posting under and would LOVE your suggestions!!!  I will share what I know, learn, try, and error! :) I took the above picture yesterday while having ...

Project 52: 13 | changes

April 6, 2011 home April 6, 2011

This is a big year. A big year of changes. All good changes. All blessings. We are so blessed! Last week, I enjoyed my home for one last week.  We lived in that home….our first home purchase…for 4 years. In my life I’ve only lived one place longer, that was 7 years (from 1st to 8th grade). All other homes since then were NEVER more than a year…yes, I said it….ONE year. Not only was this MY first house [n0t parents' house], but it was also a house I lived in for MUCH longer than others. I am a nester. I was a nester before pregnancy. I am a super-nester now. I loved that house. I will always love that house. I loved that yard. ...

Nursery Furniture Ordered!

March 5, 2011 home March 5, 2011

So, we finally purchased something for baby!!! :) Well, we purchased half and it’s ordered! :) Step one complete.  Even though we won’t be setting it up right away, it feels good to have ONE decision completed! I shared with you a few weeks ago that my plan was a Tiffany Blue color on the walls (or a wall) and hot pink accents. Maybe a white “bookcase” in the cube style for storage?  Check out my inspiration here. I do really do love the white accents with the Tiffany Blue but I also love the idea of a crib that will grow with her into her childhood bed and we just love real wood, versus painted wood.  Here’s what we picked out. It was HALF ...

painting vents | Weekend House Project

January 28, 2011 decor January 28, 2011

I thought I’d post this today to inspire you all to do something fun to your house this weekend like I did last!! So, I wanted hubby to paint for me [since I'm preggo] but he knows I love to paint things MYSELF and I like it done MY way so he got me a gas mask to try…IT WORKED!!! The thing is amazing! I couldn’t smell a thing! It was lovely!  :) He kept walking into the room saying, “You can’t smell that?!” I was merrily painting away saying, “NOPE!”  It was bliss!  We left right after the painting, left the windows open and ran errands and when we got back…all gone!!! [Granted, I only did a wee bit of "touch up" and the vent shown ...

Why train your dog? | So he’ll pose for pictures!

January 16, 2011 dogs January 16, 2011

I thought I’d share a few updates and pics from the week! Our life in the military, my hubby is a pilot in the AF, means my hubby is often gone.  He was gone last week and this was Toby’s sad look as he laid by the front door waiting for him to come home!  And, I’m very pleased to say he seems to like my new rug! :) Or, at least he’s dealing with it! I did not bring this leaf into the house and onto the carpet. It traveled through the kitchen and living room and halfway down the hallway almost to my office. Grrr…..  Keeping a floor clean is nearly impossible with a hairy dog who sheds and brings the outside IN! ...

kitchen remodel | pictures….finally?!

January 12, 2011 home January 12, 2011

So, I posted here in August 2010 about our old counters going bye bye! Finally! Hallelujah!  We added new counters. We added a new backsplash. We added a new oven/stove and fridge.  And, we added new hardware. And, a fresh coat of paint. [We didn't mean to do all that at once...it's the dreaded snowball affect of home renovations!] I posted this “sneak peak” picture above on a post in September 2010 and STILL haven’t shown you the finished product!!!  Why not?! That’s why!!!! I’m still waiting on ONE outlet cover….and yes it’s been since AUGUST!!! I won’t go into the disaster that was the FIRST set of counters that are now gone….I might share that story later. Or maybe I’ll never speak of it ...
