Yesterday we visited the Sonoran Desert Museum. Last summer during a visit to the museum, the boys bought me a hummingbird feeder for my birthday. So, we had to make our first stop the Hummingbird aviary. Turns out everyone in our family loves these tiny creatures; my husband included. Well, we were in luck yesterday. There were actually hummingbirds sitting on their nests. The ... READ the POST
Sonoran Desert Museum
We decided to take a break from remodeling and visit the Sonoran Desert Museum. Middle son is a rock collector and they had a mineral event going on. We figured it was a good time to break away, especially because Monday was a day off for everyone. ... READ the POST
Boy’s Room Before
I’ve been brainstorming Oldest son’s room this last month for the new house. I thought I would share what his room looked like while we were in Texas…kind of like a before! It was a great young boy room, but I feel like it’s time for his room to catch up with him. He seems like he is such a big boy now. He can reason and converse like an adult. I figure it’s time to give him a room that ... READ the POST
Barker Cabinets, Part 3
I have discussed the ordering process, packaging and the assembly process of Barker Cabinets the past couple of days. Today I am going to wrap up and share with you the final bits of info. We’re talking drawers and doors! I had forgotten about the drawer boxes when I had placed the order. So, I was happy to see that they were wood with dovetail joints. The underside are predrilled for ... READ the POST
Barker Cabinets-Part 2
Yesterday I discussed my experience ordering ready to assemble from Barker Cabinets. Today I am going to share my experience with the packaging, and assembly of Barker cabinets. After placing my order, it took a little over a month for them to be built. I waited another week for shipping. I thought the shipping company they used was one of the better ones. They called right away to ... READ the POST
Barker Cabinets, Part 1
When we began our renovation, I tried to track down a cabinet maker in Tucson. In Texas, I had an awesome cabinet builder who did great work and was inexpensive. He built them off of my plans. He would come do site measurements, build the cabinets, and then install them. (If anyone in the Wichita Falls area wants his name and number, just send me a message.) I didn’t find a cabinet ...

To do lists
I think I have hit the wall with the remodel. I am so anxious to get it finished, but there are some things that are just going to take some time. With an 18 month old who likes to stick her hand in wet paint, I have limited time to get some things done. There are days I feel like my to do list increases instead of decreasing. ... READ the POST
Children’s Growth Chart
This is one of my favorite projects; especially being a military family and moving often. A fun memory I have as a child is going to my grandparent’s house and getting my height marked off on their growth chart. Their chart was the door jam, inside a closet. It was so fun as a child to see how much I had grown in a year. I wanted to do something similar, but with our moves, I didn’t want to ... READ the POST
