Isn't she pretty!


I love and I mean love my new shark steam mop. Having an entire floor of hardwood and tile makes mopping quite the chore since it has to be done every other day, but this beautiful machine has cut mopping from 1 hour to about 15 minutes and it is fully sanitized. My favorite part is not having to wait for my floors to dry, it happends instantly!

It's a....


So we went and got an ultrasound and are super excited to report that we are having a GIRL! When I found out it was a girl I got a little emotional thinking how excited I was that Maycie was going to have a sister, and how important my sisters and sister-in-laws are to me. We have a couple names in mind but we need to see her before we decide. I was stressing out about not finding any boy names that I loved so I am glad that I don't have to worry about that. The kids have been asking for a couple months now if it was a boy or girl and when we told each of them they really didn't have a reaction, other than Maycie she wants to name the baby Maycie #2... We have been so blessed and are excited to welcome this new little baby into our family.

My Kitchen Project




Since the day I moved into my house I have HATED and I mean HATED my kitchen. With red walls and the white formica counter tops there wasn't much to love. So as a Christmas present to each other we decided to put our money towards fixing the kitchen. I have to say I love it! My parents came over to help and teach us how to properly install tile counter tops. I love the way they turned out. The week prior I painted the kitchen from blood red(that took two coats of primer to cover, oh how I hated the previous owner by the time I was finished) to a vibrant green with an accent wall a couple shades darker... I love it! Thanks to my parents and especially Adam for all of his hard work, he literally worked straight for 3 days to get it done.

Spam, Rice and Ketchup



YUMMY! That is all I have to say. A couple weeks ago at my parents they made spam and rice for dinner. I was so skeptical of how it would taste but let me tell you it is my new favorite combo. We seriously eat it a couple times a week for dinner and I'm loving this easy delious new combo...mmmm this post is making me hungry for more!

Christmas Gift


Just so all of my good friends know I'm giving you a preview of what your getting for Christmas next year. These babies are awesome! I put them on for the first time when we remodeled the kitchen. I just simply told my kids I couldn't hear them when I had them on and magically my kids didn't come crying, complaining, or bother me the entire rest of the time I was working. It was magic!! Anyway I know they are not the cutest accessorie ever but man do they work!
