Five on Friday

Happy Friday Everyone!!! Sorry about the lack of posts this week, our church was having VBS and I had rehearsals as well as some other responsibilities! I hope you all had a great week, and I'm sure you're ready for the weekend! This past Sunday was my birthday, so as my Five on Friday I'm going to share 5 of my favorite presents! I loved everything I got from very dear friends and family, but there are always those things that you're...

Five on Friday

Well another week has gone by! I'm so excited about this weekend because this Sunday is my birthday! Unfortunately this is going to be a really busy weekend for us. Our youth group is running a concession stand at a local auction to raise money for summer camp on Saturday, and then afterwards a lot of the teens, and my husband will be running through our VBS skit. Sunday will be decorating day for VBS. You can't really skip any of that...

Dining Room Chairs

These were a cakewalk compared to the dining room table! Mainly because we used acrylic paint! I decided to skip the priming step with these since they were already a dark wood.  We have a field right outside our fence so I took the chairs and some cardboard out there to spray paint on, that way I didn't have to worry about it getting on our driveway or on our grass! We used spray paint primer to cut down the painting time, and since...

Dining Room Table

Alright! The table is finally making it's way on here! We started this project in the first week of May, and have finished the brunt of it, we still need to distress the bench but honestly I don't even care about that right now! I am so thankful that I can eat dinner at a table! This past Sunday we had my brother, parents, and grandparents over for a Father's Day lunch. I cannot tell you how nice it was to have a big table where everyone...

Another Birchbox

I got my second Birchbox in! It was nice, not as amazing as last months, but still good! It seems like I got repeats of items, another lotion, another perfume, another SPF. I'm sure my profile indicates that those are the things I would be interested in, but I don't think I want those 3 things every month. I'll still probably use all of these things, and a lot of these it's nice to have them in travel sizes! 1. Cool Tinted Matte...

Five on Friday

1) We've had our first few rehearsals for Oklahoma, and already sounds awesome! This is going to be a great production! 2) I'm in charge of a small group within our Youth Group and this Wednesday our small group went out to a park for a devotional, scavenger hunt, and picnic. It was such beautiful weather and so relaxing!  3) Our dining room is finally starting to come together! I'm getting an idea for what I want on the table...

The Easiest Ever Summer Projects

A few weeks ago we moved from an apartment into a rental home near the church my husband works at. We've basically got everything set up how we want, but we've done a few DIY projects to pull things together. I wanted to share a couple that I've done, that really don't even require tutorials! Seriously these are both so easy! This planter came from Michael's I just grabbed some paint I had laying around. . . I didn't even tape it off...

Meet Sweet Zeke

Well you guys, some things have come up so I don't have that furniture post I promised! I'm going to put it together for next week. . . but instead I am going to show you some pretty adorable pictures! Last year for my birthday my husband let me get a puppy! We had been looking for a while, but couldn't decide on what kind of dog to get, whether to adopt or purchase from a breeder, we even had to decide on color(he loves white/blonde...

A Weekend of Furniture & the Tony's

Wow this weekend has flown by! That's probably because, despite my plans to relax, it was very productive. Friday I got a call from my husband, he was down at the Habitat for Humanity Restore . . . if you are ever in need of furniture, hardware, or cool windows and doors for Pinterest projects, you have to check out the Restore! He sent me this picture of a brand new dresser they had.  We've been looking for a buffet/long dresser...

Five on Friday

I am so glad that it's already Friday again, I got an extra day and a half on my weekend because of my husband's knee injury, but it still feels like it's been a long week! 1. I have the wonderful opportunity to play Laurey in a local production of Oklahoma! It is one of my favorite musical's so I'm pretty pumped! It definitely makes my summer busier, but it will be so worth it! We had our first read through on Tuesday, and rehearsal's...

Birchbox

Well. . . I finally bit the bullet and tried out Birchbox. I follow the Small Things Blog, and a couple of other ones that regularly review Birchboxes, and they always seem to get awesome stuff! However, I have a few friends that tried it out, and they weren't that impressed. Some of you may tried it out this past month because Birchbox had a coupon code for a $5 box! I figured this is the best time to try it, there have been plenty...

90 day challenge

I am taking a break from my regular reading, because there is a group in our church doing a 90 reading challenge. This means we are reading the Bible in 90 days. . . it equals out to about 14 chapters a day, which as you can imagine doesn't leave a lot of room for other reading! I wanted you guys to have access to the chronological plan I am using so it's available below! We began June 1, so we're only a few days in,this challenge has been tough so far, and honestly I'm already behind, but it's been wonderful as well! There...

Weekend Recap

We were able to get into the doctor today, and she gave him  knee brace and some exercises. Hopefully the blog post tomorrow will be a little bit more exciting! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and got some res...
