To all who serve
or have served our country
and their families~
thank you.
I love this idea from Tom Scheerer in House Beautiful and am thinking about doing it in my kitchen: painting the cabinets white, remove some doors, then what if you used beadboard wallpaper and painted the backs a yummy color like this??
Remember how we gots grass? The grass is dead, but now we gots peonies, y’all! One of the cool things about moving in the dead of winter is the fun of seeing what comes up at your house in the spring. I died that we have these on the side of our house!

I got to see my mom this last weekend~my husband got me a plane ticket for my birthday to see my sister and her new baby and my mom drove down to meet us. More on that later! This is what I did for some little gifts for late mother’s day and early birthday presents:
Some of her favorite quotes in dollar store and clearance Target frames

My mom tucked this book in my carry on last year after a fun girl getaway with my sisters in Utah. 
Sometimes the best decorating move you can do is take something down or remove something.
I learned from Berenstain Bears.
I loved this book as a little girl. So much that my mom got me the video afew years ago and my brother bought me the book for Christmas when I was in college. Yes, I love it. I’ve read dozens of organizing books, but this is still my favorite.
Well, hello. Happy Monday. We are in the thick of moving back in, end of the school year/sports activities all around, and a million different little projects here and there it seems. No yard sales for me this weekend, but here are some treasures I’ve picked up in the last little while:
Some fun glassware, .25 to .75 each:
Here is a little project we’re working on in the playroom as you come down the stairs. My parents came out to visit and like a kind, sweet daughter, I put my dad to work. My husband, him, and me all helped with this one. Remember these alphabet letters I picked up at a yard sale (.25 for the whole set!) back in Texas? 
We just spray painted some very thin trim in my fav Rustoleum Colonial Red and finally got to use my $50 Black Friday nail gun to attach it! We nailed up the trim and then glued the letters to the wall. That door you see is to the playroom closet. Much more on that later….

Happy Tuesday, y’all~
It was a beautiful day yesterday filled with sunshine, beautiful church lessons, homemade cards, flowers, sticky kisses, family, good food that I didn’t cook, and joy about being a mother. AND I can’t tell you how much I loved reading and then re-reading all of last week’s guest posts. I think they should be in a book. If you haven’t read them yet, it is so worth it.
