Bathroom Makeover

Since we have the week off, Jon and I decided to tackle a little home project. Our half bath off the kitchen was in desperate need of a little help. Well....maybe not quite desperate, but it had been on my list for a long time!

A little paint makes such a huge difference. We went with a slightly green grey.  I have to say, I really like it.  I can't get over how much cleaner it looks/feels. 

Now I can't wait to paint the rest of the house! 


What's the last home project you did? 

A Holiday in Photos...

Our Christmas was wonderful.  I hope yours was too! 
I'm enjoying relaxing and doing nothing much but dinners with friends and playing on my phone.  We hope to repaint the powder room off the kitchen this week, and I'm planning to make this soup today.  Cannot wait! 
Are you off work for the week?  Or is it back to the old grind for you?

p.s. I'm on Instagram!  If you are too, come follow me, and I'd love to follow you back!  {I'm jdavissquared, of course.}

Merry Christmas!

I made it! I made it to Christmas break...alive and in (reasonably sound) good mental state!

Oh friends, I'm not gonna lie, it's been rough. (i feel like I've started many a post this way as of late...bear with me) The last few months have been hard for a lot of reasons. My 9 to 5 has been relentless, our etsy store did amazing this year (which is absolutely a blessing, but one that comes with lots of hard work!), we lost Miles, my little sister had heart surgery, and on top of it all we've been working through the pains of infertility and treatment.

Yeah, that last one....that was hard to type. Not cause I haven't come to terms with it, but because I've been hesitant to share it, not just here on the blog, but with everyone outside of our close circle of friends and family. But, I've decided that I'm no longer gonna hide. There are too many couples out there dealing with this for anyone to feel alone. I'm not promising you details on the blog. This is private stuff! But, if you too are struggling through it, I'd love to help support you. Email me!

Whew! Elephant in the room exposed!

The one thing I'd request is please don't ask if I'm preggers. When I am, you'll know when I want you to. This is sort of a good rule in general...NEVER ask a woman if she's pregnant!

Okay, now that you know all the things that have been weighing me down, let me tell you why things are wonderful today:

Yesterday was Jon's 8 year remission anniversary! The craziest part was that it took us til 3:00 in the afternoon to remember. I'd say that's a good thing. It's nice to know that our life has moved far enough past the leukemia that we are able to forget!

Um, today is Christmas Eve...duh! Which means family, food, and Candlelight Christmas Eve at church. I've always loved Christmas Eve just as much as Christmas day.

I'm off work til jan 3rd. You have no idea how badly I need this break. This girl was seriously about to lose it.

What are you guys doing for Christmas? Please share! Or tell me what you've been up to all this time. I've seriously missed you guys.

I'm anxious to get back to blogging and refocussing. But until then, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We have joined the club...

and i finally have an iPhone in my hot little hand. (thanks to a very generous mother-in-law and an early Xmas present) I'm not sure I'm gonna get much sleep tonight. I went with white, jon with black,in case you're wondering. So, do share. What are your favorite apps? I want to know all the secrets!


Also, meet Boo Boo. I'll tell you more about him soon. Promise. :)

Randomness...

I cannot believe it's Friday already!  Man, this week has flown by.

As I type this I have 20 piggy banks, 7 ornaments, 4 popcorn bowls, 2 Santa Plates and an Audrey Hepburn Silhouette Chalkboard to get done before Christmas......I think I might have to stop taking orders!  {If you have your heart set on something for the holidays, you better order it ASAP!}

I watched a woman come out of a bathroom stall and wash her hand.  No, that's not a typo.  She had a stack of paperwork in one hand, and turned on the faucet and washed her other hand.  Ewwwww.  I feel sorry for whoever was on the receiving end of those documents.  Ick.

Gotta keep this one short and sweet.  Need to be out the door to work in 3 minutes and I haven't made my coffee yet!

I will, obviously, be painting like a madwoman this weekend....what are you up to?

p.s. pretty bicycles above...I'm bringing back the bicycle posts!  ;)
