Printable Invites–making my life easier

by

  I was so fortunate to find Sprout My Party on Etsy for printable invites.  You see, October flew by.  When I sat down to plan middle son’s birthday party, I realized I needed to get the invites out to his classmates the next day!  Oops…bad mommy.     I did a search for printable invitations on Etsy, and found Megan’s shop.  I mentioned my predicament and she responded, that ...

I’m a wimp

by

Seriously.  I took my dog outside this morning and thought, “finally!  It’s cool-maybe even chilly!”  Mind you it was in the 60’s…probably not even the low 60’s.  I think I’ve been in the South too long…Montana called and told me to claim another state.  At least, I finally feel like fall is finally coming.     I’m excited to say goodbye to the heat of AZ and start welcoming in all ...

Camping, sort of!

by

My husband had been wanting to take the boys camping for awhile.  I wanted to go as well, but the idea of having baby girl crawling around in the dirt was not appealing.  Husband looked into renting a pull camper, but it wasn’t big enough for the five of us.  So, the next option was a cabin.     He found a cabin in Flagstaff that was for military members.  We lucked out they had one ...

Tucson project: flooring and more…

by

I finally had time to go select some of our finishes for the Tucson remodel.  We have the flooring selected and ordered now.  So everything needs to tie into this.  It will be a bit of a challenge, because we chose travertine.  This particular color way has a lot of variation between tiles.  So, I will be on site during installation, handpicking the tiles and helping the installer with the ...
