Hey Pretty Girl

In lieu of our anniversary today, I wanted to post a song that I just love lately!!

There have been songs that have reminded me of Danny and my relationship but this song just hit home when Danny had me listen to the lyrics. It's so us! It talks about dancing together, bringing her home to meet his parents and sleeping on the couch, which I did one Christmas. (And can I just say kudos to this song for implying that they did NOT slept together before they got married!) They buy "a piece of land and some apple trees"! And in the video, they are fixing up their white sided house! Their baby has the mama's eyes, which Danny thinks Caleb does. The only difference is our kid is a boy not a girl.

So check it out, it gives me goosebumps everytime! :)



Can you believe Danny's the one that discovered this song?!
 I actually thought it was that stupid "hey girl" song and was about to change it. Danny stopped me and said, "I thought you would have liked this song". When I asked why, he said, "because it reminds me of you". So, of course, that's when I changed it back and had to listen to it. I, then, discovered it was not at all the stupid, "hey girl" song and that I absolutely loved this song too!!!

So Fresh and So Clean

Our laundry room wasn't in bad shape, but we were wanting to close it off so we wouldn't have to hear a spaceship take off each time we needed to do laundry. We also figured this would be a good time to put in a new, working back door, the current one -which was the original- was nailed shut. And I figured this would also be a great opportunity to redecorate the laundry room. Make some use out of the ideas I've pinned!

So we got to work, Danny installed both doors and added a shelf next to the cabinets. I installed the back door knobs and my dad put in the glass knobs on the other door. Then I made the room look cute!

Here's the door that now closes off the laundry room from the kitchen. This will also hide unfinished laundry when company comes over...but who does that?! Not this awesome housewife. 0;)

I'm not gonna lie, I got this idea from Pinterest. And Yes, I do know that the washing board goes up and down, however, I thought it looked better across. :) So that's how I put it!

We hung the cabinet a few years ago, but just added the shelves to have more space.

My homemade laundry soap! We're loving it! -Don't try the liquid kind. Same ingredients, it would just separate and didn't clean our clothes as well as this kind does.

Here's somewhat of a view of our new back door. Look how bright it makes this room!! Love that window!

I think this room turned out great! I smile every time I go in this room. Which is a good thing because I've done more laundry since I've had Caleb that I ever have my whole life... or so it seems! 

And here are some of Caleb's cloth diapers freshly washed!



And just for kicks and giggles, this is what the laundry room looked like before we got a hold of it:

The NuRsErY

While we've still had plenty of projects going on around here, there wasn't as much time to write about it. Therefore I thought it would only be appropriate to start back blogging with a blog about Caleb. :) Well, at least I like the idea of that. I'm a very PROUD mama! And his room was after all the most important project that we wanted to get done!


Let's first take a better look at what it DID look like

We now only have one of those windows. Yep, before we got new siding on the house, Danny dry walled one of the windows up. It was too much and left us will no wall space.
Oh yeah, and we covered up the hole in the wall. Like that? Now lets just hope we don't need to access the shower pipes anymore. *crosses fingers*

And now how it looks with sweet baby boy in it!

 This one was taken before I got his name on the wall (see picture below)

Aw, my sweet boy! He loves to sleep!

*Bottom two pictures are by Autumn! :)

And here's the side by side comparison:

LOVE IT!! :)
