The projectgirl.com and younghouselove.com were the first websites to really push us to hey we can do any of this! 

Fireplace After

Fireplace Before

The first thing Will said when we walked into our house was "I'm going to knock that wall down and build a new fireplace." And that is just what he did. The first thing I said is "When can I get hardwood floors?" and That is the second thing he did.

Restoration Hardware Lighting Hack

I had my eye on these light fixtures (had them in my online cart totaling $1000) for several months. When Will and I were at Target the other day I jumped up and down in the lamp shade aisle and purchased these two guys for $17 a piece. We went straight to Lowes where will spent $80 on two electrical box kits and extra tubing to make them longer in our vaulted ceiling dining room. He then removed our dust/curry infested fan😉😂😂. And went into the attic to work his electrician magic. And walah! Is that a word? I have my dream lights for under $100. A tenth of the price. Will is super smart and handy but since we have purchased this house I have been amazed at his talent. He basically can do anything plumbing, electric, drywall, painting, installing, building! He watches YouTube videos to get pointers. It's super hot 😉

Back at it

Hellooo anyone out there? I have been working part time, up to 20 hours a week and because of our hard work, the Lord's provision and Will's wisdom we have been able to cut that number done to about 9 hours a week! Basically it's changing our lives. We have almost never had a regular weekend our whole 8 year relationship. Someone has always worked on Saturday or Sunday either will @ Starbucks or in ministry or myself at Joseph's! This past Saturday I told Will I felt like I was on vacation as we had opportunity to serve each other by letting each other nap/ sleep in, leisurely get yard work accomplished, errands ran, trip to the pool and entertaining friends after church on Sunday.  Because of our experiences I will never take financial stability and family time for granted. Sooo with my new stay at home mom schedule (except mondays) I decided to blog again!
My biggest new hobby is nutrition! I am finally leaning about macronutrients and how to fuel our bodies efficiently. So I'm sure I will be writing a lot about that, and the kiddos and our house remodel.  So drop in and hopefully there will be something to read :)
