A Miscellany Monday

Painting
We are in the process of painting Kent's room. When we moved in over a year ago, it was pepto PINK! Let's just say that he does not like pink at all. So I have been having to do a whole lot of priming just to cover it up so the actual wall color will look good. I am planning on the paint choice to be a greyish/blue color since we have a nautical type theme going on in there.


School
School needs to hurry back! I enjoyed summer at first, but the kids are getting "cabin" fever and I am just loosing it! We need breaks from each other. Also once school starts back that means it will be closer until Alabama football and all other fall activities that we love so much!

Frustration
I usually try not to vent out alot of negativity on here, but things have been going on at home,work and other places lately that I can not seem to keep off my chest. I have prayed about it, but maybe if I just write/type it all out it will help with the heavy heart feeling. Check back later because I know I will need the advise from all you wise people out there :)

Couponing
I started couponing about a month ago and I must say that I am getting a little over board with it. I have abnout 5 pages full of coupons and I seem to find alot through facebook and other websites. I have also gotten a good bit of free samples in the mail. Like today for instance, I got a sample of Secret deoderant and a coupon for a Pantene shampoo or conditioner(a $4.99 value max). So you can pretty much get a BOGO or just simply FREE! I will have to devote a whole post to my couponing..hopefully soon.

Don't forget to link up!

Decorating in progress

Since the news of my mom and dads moving, they have been giving me lots of their things that they won't have room for. Thanks to them, it's making my house look more like a home instead of a place we just moved into(we have been here for a little over a year now).

My mom gave me this BEAUTIFUL picture from Kirklands. This picture just doesn't do it justice.



My mom gave me a couple of wall hangings and one is in the bathroom and the other is in the living room. The cross may just be my favorite--






And then she gave me some candle things that goes with the other items she gave me--




*Other items I will be recieving is going to be a living room set including as follows--2 end tables, 2 lamps, couch, loveseat, recliner, and matching throw pillows. That will be about another 3 weeks before I get those.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

There aren't many things that I am loving this Wednesday!


-Birthday-
Today is my sweet and precious Stephanie Michelle's 10th birthday. She has turned out to be such an amazing young lady. She is so kind hearted and beautiful. I am feel like I get overly blessed by having her as my child, but on the other hand, I deserve her because God said so!







That may not be a whole lot to be loving for, but these 10 years have gone by SO fast and they will only go by faster from here on out. It's hard to believe that 10 years ago I was 15 years old!!

Happy Wednesday!!

A little picnik

So, while I was taking photos of Dallas in her new hairbows, I thought that I would take the time to edit some photos on picnik. Thanks to Candace Strickland for showing the 1960's feature on her blog I had to try it for myself. Then I found a before and after option! Even better because then I can bask in my good work! haha
