I'm sure you've heard about Houzz.com. It's an amazing resource of thousands of home pictures where you can find inspiration for any room in your house.
I was shocked when Adi from Houzz contacted me to be featured and interviewed. First of all, I have never even had an interiew, and are you sure you want our humble little 70's home?
I felt like I was a bit out of my league, but this also made me love Houzz even more that they feature a variety of styles of decor and home styles.

Hi y'all! Great news to share: we got 2 offers on our house last week and we accepted one this weekend. Woowoowooo-hooo!
Of course it's not a done deal until the money is in the bank, but it's a first huge step in the right direction, right?
So, to celebrate, I bought something.
Last Saturday while our house was being shown, I was driving around with the kids and happened upon a yard sale. I saw this dresser and loved it. I couldn't believe it was still there at 3 in the afternoon.

We had a fabulous favorite paint color party and I was thinking...how fun would it be to have our own little favorite things party?
I'm totally copying Oprah.
You know the Oprah show I'm talking about...where she shares her favorite things from the past year that cost millions of dollars and everyone in the audience gets one and you immediately hate that you're not there and begin googling how to get a ticket for next year.

So mark your calendars for Thursday, November 19 and we can all share our own favorite things, but I'm thinking ours will be much more affordable. :)
You can share a list of 5-10 of your favorite finds that you would send to your best friends if you could~anything from your favorite lip gloss, chocolate, magazine, cd, home item, blog post, gadget, candle, electronic device, peanut butter, book, jewelry, item from an etsy store, socks, makeup remover, cleaning product...anything as long as it's your favorite, you've personally tried it, you're not trying to make money on it, and no one is paying you to talk about it.
I love recommendations from friends and can't wait to see what y'all will share! :)
I'm making my list already...
feel free to grab a button above and invite anyone.
I hope you have a great weekend~oh, and if you haven't read this, it's so worth it.
my favorite Nienie post so far

Under $10, under an hour projects
Under $10, under an hour projects
Exactly the type of projects I love. I'm going to start a new category on my sidebar with easy peasy projects like these that don't break the bank.
You know the 3 legged tables I'm talking about. I seriously see them at yard sales and Goodwill all of the time, you may have some in your house, you can buy them at Walmart for around $7.
We had 2 that we used as nightstands, and when we graduated to a black Target bedroom set, (someday we may have real furniture!! ) we decided to get rid of the little tables.
I love fall traditions.
We usually go out to the pumpkin patch, and take a hayride, and drink apple cider, and get gorgeous pictures as the sun goes down.
We make donuts and watch Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
We carve pumpkins.
Hello!
I have to thank you so much for your words and prayers for Sadie's family. I went to try to comfort, uplift, and strengthen, but they did that for me. They know where their perfect daughter is, and they are determined to live their lives so that they will be able to live with her as an eternal family. They are amazing and I was reminded that family, friends, and the gospel of Jesus Christ are really all that matter in this life. The rest is just fluff.

A thought I'd share a few of my thoughts and things I've learned (and am still learning) about my first year of blogging:
Blog what you love, and read blogs that inspire you
My intent with this blog is to take you along our adventure of bringing a 1970's house up to date and show projects that make you think, I could do that!
(along with some pure nonsense, deals, and rambling)
If my blog or anyone else's blog is not uplifting or inspiring you, why are you still reading it? Blog what you love and it will come naturally, and read blogs that you truly enjoy.
