**UPDATE**



So remember that awesome table that I found at the Goodwill for $8. This is the finished product. My brother and his wife loved it. Even a few neighbors stopped by as I was working on it wondering if they could buy it. That put a little smile on my face!!


Baby got back...


I would post a pic but I am afraid of pervs...lol

All I can say is "bless her heart"

Sophie started gymnastics last week. For her birthday she got a new leotard. One problem: it is constantly up her hiney. All I did today at the gym was pull it out and over that cute little rump.

So what did I do you ask?....went and bought her this one. Which still rides up....

So what am I doing tomorrow you ask?....going to buy a bigger size, Again!

Will update later on the hiney coverage.....

Miss Thang turns 3!






We had a gymnastics party at Everest Gymnastics. It was FAN-freakin-TASTIC!! Everyone has a blast and they really had it all together there. I have written off anymore birthday parties at our house. I am done with all of the hours and hours of cleaning preparing and then the hours and hours of cleaning after the party. Not to mention the tremendous amounts of noise that echo through the house. I know...bah humbug....but it is what it is.

Putting this one in the back pocket for maybe next year....Ethan is already asking if he can have his birthday at Chuck E Cheese.....shoot me now....

What I have been up to...


As I have said before my third love is refinishing furniture. Well this is my latest find. A whopping $5 at the Habitat Restore. I forgot to take a before picture but it was you typical 1985 orangey brown stain. Not quite my style....so a little
1. A.LOT of sanding
2. Primer--one coat
3. ACE Premium Enamel Antique white--one coat
4. Antiquing stain...something I have had for years....slap it on, literally, let it sit for a minute and wipe with a rag leaving it in those cracks and crevices.

The top even had a huge chunk missing and I crammed some antiquing stuff all in there and I loved how it turned out. Was a little worried about that...


Missing some nobs but haven't found any I love...


I just love it. Looks perfect next the chair in our living room!!
