One positive about being the youngest sibling, BY FAR (the next closest sibling to me in age is 11 years older) is that my nieces are somewhat close to my age. Yesterday, my niece, Ashley, turned 17 years old. I still can’t believe it! I remember very vividly when she looked like this. I believeContinue reading “Happy 17th Birthday, Ashley!”

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Blondies
I love peanut butter! I’m the type that could eat a whole spoonful (or 2) of peanut butter and say, “More please!” It’s not a surprise that my favorite chocolate candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. So when I discovered these delectable treats on Bake at 350, I just knew I had to try themContinue reading “Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Blondies”
The Smoke House Rehab (Part 2)
It’s been a LONG weekend of rehabbing the Smoke House, but we are finally making some great progress! Rustin & Elizabeth helped us ALOT on Friday and Saturday, and then Steve and I worked by ourselves on Sunday. We were able to clean most of the kitchen, rip out all the carpets, and clean allContinue reading “The Smoke House Rehab (Part 2)”
Sneak Peek of Tomorrow’s Post
I’m very tired from today’s cleaning adventures, so I’m going to postpone today’s post of our rehabbing the Smoke House until tomorrow. But here’s a sneak peak of just how dirty it was, and how clean we were able to get it. I still cant believe: (1) that someone could live like this, and (2)Continue reading “Sneak Peek of Tomorrow’s Post”
The Smoke House Rehab (Part 1)
About 2 years ago, Steve and I bought a couple investment properties in Memphis, TN. At the time, we thought it was a great investment. I mean, where else can you buy a house for $30,000 and rehab it for only about $10,000 and then rent it out for a nice profit every month? Well,Continue reading “The Smoke House Rehab (Part 1)”
I Guess I’ll Paint
I woke up a little earlier than normal today because Steve was expecting a delivery that needed to be signed for, and I didn’t want to miss it in case they delivered it in the morning. Well, it’s 5:20pm and it still hasn’t arrived. Since I stayed home from work to wait for the packageContinue reading “I Guess I’ll Paint”
The House is Quiet Again
We gave little Tinkerbell back to her parents today…..and the house has never been so quiet! Don’t get me wrong, Tink is such a cutie!!! She just suffers from a very bad case of separation anxiety. I couldn’t even go to the bathroom for 1 minute without her crying and barking. Oh wait….I’ve got oneContinue reading “The House is Quiet Again”
Books & Tornadoes
Well, today was the closest I’ve ever been to experiencing a tornado first hand. This morning it was raining as we drove to work, and I didn’t think much of it. It was pretty warm outside, which I knew meant that we would probably have some thunderstorms. Boy was I right! Around 2:00pm we startedContinue reading “Books & Tornadoes”
Crochet Hook Case
I’ve been wanting to make a case for my assortment of crochet hooks for the longest time, and I found a pattern online several months ago, bought all the supplies, and then never got around to making it. Until last night! Now I finally have an organized place for all my crochet hooks! I usedContinue reading “Crochet Hook Case”
Our Little Guest
We have a little guest at our house this weekend. We are baby dogsitting Tinkerbell this weekend for our best friends Rustin and Elizabeth while they’re on a little vacay. Tinkerbell is only a few months old, so we’ll get our puppy fix (including the potty training) this weekend. Luckily we are experts in thatContinue reading “Our Little Guest”
