Good morning, friends! My alarm went off at 5 am so I could take my son to football practice at 5:30. School hasn't started yet, but our schedule certainly has!

August 5, 2011 by · 3 Comments
Good grief, friends, I am STILL catching up after our "mac daddy" road trip to Texas! We travelled 2700 miles in 10 days, squeezing in visiting and some fun among 46 hours in the car and not a lot of sleep.

Ok, so those are my … [Read more...]

July 19, 2011 by · 13 Comments
I am loving my new lamp and lamp shade combo in my Mom Cave...er, home office. :) I know I have to share the space with the other four peeps in my household, but it's slowly evolving into more "mine" than "theirs." Thoughts? Anyhoo, the lamp shade I revealed over the weekend was a super easy project that makes a big impact when you walk into the space. Start to finish, I spent about 50 minutes on this. And maybe $5 tops. The lamp … [Read more...]

My home office is slowly but surely evolving into the Mom Cave I've always wanted! Though I'm anxious in a way to get it finished, I have to admit I'm enjoying the process, too. Of course, having my desk up and running is key to this enjoying-the-process mindset. :)This week I tackled the lamp on the desk. Remember this?It's one of a pair of buffet lamps I bought several years ago... not loving it on my new desk!So I headed to … [Read more...]
