• Hooo Hummm Day!

    Craft room remodel continues

    Hooo Hummm Day! I got my WHINE on today!! Hold on to your hat!! I have truly been neglecting my blog since my Mom passed away. I just can’t seem to get my blogging mojo back. It’s been 8 months now, in my head I can hear Cher in Moonstruck “SNAP OUTOFFIT!” The noise and the dirt of the remodel. I just need to get back into the groove. Enough whining. The siding is done! Everyone hands up and shout WOO HOO!! Cabinets in my craftroom are up! Dancin’ a jig here!! Cabinets are 40% in for the kitchen. The kitchen window still needs to be lowered. I THINK it’s supposed to happen on Saturday. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed. Then the kitchen remodel can continue. On a little side note;  I hadn’t thought of was food when I said “HELLZ yeah I want to remodel the kitchen”. We are eating frozen dinners and soups. Basically, anything that I can microwave (out in the garage). It’s getting boring. I can’t wait to have a stove again!!  BTW if you shop at Walmart check the area around the deli refrigerated area for Panera Bread Cream of Broccoli soup. I think I could…

  • Where Did Summer GO?!

    Bedroom remodel in Sandpoint Idaho

    Seriously, I feel like I just blinked and it’s the end of August. What the heck?! Where Did Summer GO?? Why is time going so FAST!? I admit, I’m definitely not as young as I use to be!  Holy Guacamole Batman; having Alice here with me made me realize that kid has A LOT of energy!!! I am TIRED!! It definitely proves having kids when your younger is totally the way to go! These people that have kids in there 50’s and 60’s are NUTS!! (sorry, if you are one of them. I still love you…. I just wonder where you get your energy and can I buy some?!?!) Which brings me to sleep. With a 7-year-old that has been on summer break and staying up later; not to mention a new to us house, getting her to sleep at night was a STRUGGLE to say the least. Add to that the fact that the room stays light (remember I’m on the top of a mountain with a spectacular view so I opted for no curtains. Might not have been the best idea since this room never seems to be dark!)  Sorry, I wandered off there for a minute. Basically;…
