{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

{A Wild Adventure}

I went with daughter #2 and grandgirl's to Wild Adventures for the day while the girls were on Spring Break. It was a beautiful day. Weather could not have been more perfect. All I can tell you is Praise the Lord I had me on some good walking shoes! We had a fun day and this Nana was rode out, walked out and wore out. HOWEVER , I hung with these girls. I wasn't about to act like a wimp in front of these babies! LOL!   Another project down for the kitchen makeover. This recipe is my granny's biscuit recipe. She taught us early on how to make biscuits. My sister Mary can make them just like my granny could. Me? Somehow mine just never look pretty but they sure taste good. I decided to type the recipe out just like she taught us to make them. Hey, I do like those Mary B biscuits you buy and just slap them in a pan too! I added a free farmhouse graphic I found online and a cute gray frame. Granny's biscuit recipe will be display...

{Life In The Country}

Isn't this just a beautiful sight? Our young children at church have the opportunity each Easter to flower the Cross and I just love the array of beautiful flowers. Speaking of Easter, I do hope that you and your family had a blessed Easter. We surely did.  My grandbabies  So, I am moving right along with kitchen makeover. Kitchen light and dining room installed. YAY!  The top light is the one I replaced. Bottom light is my new one. Love the pewter color. Oh, and I saved the old one. I see a project in the near future.  New Dining room light up. Forgot to snap a picture of old one. I did not realize how dark  it really was in my kitchen area until we put up new lights! Dang, I can see! TOO MUCH too because I now I see little things I need to clean! I want my OLD LIGHTS BACK! New pantry doors installed.     Cafe curtains up. My oldest two grands had their birthday parties together. Grandson ce...

{If You're Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands}

Do you remember singing that song as a child or singing it to your children and maybe now even your grandchildren? Have you ever woke up singing? I know that sounds crazy but I woke up this morning with that cute little song on my lips. AND all I can say about that is that it must have been from GOD HIMSELF because I was late getting to bed and it was raining when I awoke this morning and I wasn't thinking HAPPY ! LOL! Remember the chair makeover I shared by simply giving it a fresh coat of paint? I loved how the blue just popped and grandgirl looks adorable sitting in the cute blue chair. Her birthday is in two weeks but we snapped a few pictures of her prior to her birthday and we celebrated with a family party yesterday afternoon. We have lots of birthdays going on right now. She already has a little farmer tan going on. This child starts turning brown as soon as she gets a little sun. She looked like the Coppertone baby last summer. I managed to...

{The Days of Our Lives}

Remember the soap opera as my granny would call it.... "The days of our lives" ? It may still come on. I have no clue. I never got into all the soaps. I often have said that my family could have our own TV show. Especially a reality show!  Well, my bunch might be too real! LOL. But, we do have our own..."days of our lives". Every day is new adventure.   Remember this cutie I found a few weeks ago at a Thrift store for $3.99? All this little gal needed was a good coat of spray paint and a home. I named her Sweet Girl . She now sits in my little home office and keeps me company when I am piddling around in there. I think I'll change her little hats out often so she can match me! Some days I feel like I wear many different hats.  How about you?   Enjoyed a day out with my daughters. Grandbaby #6 is due end of May so we decided before the pregnant woman doesn't feel like having a day out that we would all get pedi's, out to eat and do ...

{Kitchen Makeover Is Moving Along}

Before we go to the kitchen I wanted to show you my newest addition to my laundry room.  We have a cute place in our town called "Deerly Blessed" and I just love to browse in there. I spotted this cute washboard and knew it would be perfect for my laundry room.  Okay, so I told you last week that I had made a little mistake on my cabinets that caused me to LIKE them right? As I shared, our cabinets are 25 years old and we had the cabinets custom built, solid oak. I thought about re-staining and I thought about painting them. Decided to give them a good old fashion elbow scrubbing! OH MY! That turned in to more of a job that I thought. Marty had brought something home for me to clean them with and I used it. It seemed to dull them up worse than they already were. Granny used to use Murphy's oil and Old English polish in which now they make different kinds for every type of wood possible. So, I bought some Murphy's oil that is also good for wood flo...
