Don’t forget the Chrissie Grace and Favorite Paint Colors Giveaways!
Have a wonderful weekend~we’re talking girl bedroom next week.
I am super excited to announce a fantastic new blog that my sister has started called Favorite Paint Colors.
It is an invaluable paint resource that lets you look through beautiful pictures of paint colors that real people have used in their homes and loved.
You can view paint colors by room or by color and you can submit your pictures as well if you have a favorite paint color.
c’mon, Melissa. You know these things.
* getting up an hour and 15 minutes before the kids is absolutely priceless. It means exercise, a shower, quiet study/planning time, the dishwasher unloaded, a load of laundry started, and 15 minutes worth of email response, where it will take you 3 hours to get these things finished when the kids are up. I know you want to push snooze, but don’t do it….
*fold the clothes right out of the dryer. Don’t you dare pile it up on the floor or the baskets. Seriously? It will take 15 minutes tops. C’mon.
Here is a sneak peak of what’s to come in my daughter’s room:
She wanted to go bold and COLORFUL which makes me *gulp*, but we’re actually having a lot of fun with it.
This beautiful pillow is from Chrissie @ In His Grace~I love that it’s handmade with love, unique, and something that you wouldn’t be able to find in a big box store. I am thrilled to say that we are giving away $25 towards anything in her Etsy shop to a lucky winner. ALSO, you all get 25% off anything using code 320FRIENDS at checkout. She’s got beautiful stuff over there, here are some of my favs:
I love that all items are handmade by Chrissie, reflect the beauty of Christ's love, AND 25% of all proceeds go directly to CBC Seminole,a local foster and adoption agency. What a beautiful gift to give to yourself or someone you love.
How to enter:

We’ll announce a lucky winner on Saturday!
As we were having the basement finished, we set a cash budget that we were determined not to go above. We learned that you can go cah-razy with so many features in a basement (or a house, or an addition, or anything..) that are so “essential” and “necessary” and will totally “add value” to your home, but you have to draw the line somewhere. I’m so grateful for a husband that keeps me level in this area (did I mention he’s a financial planner?) because I’m afraid that if it were just me and a friendly credit card, I would go cah-razy.
