It's been a few weeks now and the new house is really starting to take shape. We have almost all the boxes unpacked and things are finding their places slowly. This is why I have been MIA with the blog, but when life gets crazy some things fall by the wayside for the time. Crafting is another thing that has been put down at the moment, but I hope to be back in a creative swing by the end of the summer. Until then, I would love to share some fun things I have found lately...
- Now that I own a home I love love love Lowe's and Home Depot! I hated these stores before but now when I walk through the doors I find they hold endless possibilities! Pretty sad I know but it's true, this girl will now add Lowe's gift cards to her Christmas lists...haha.
- I seem to be addicted this summer to magazines and catalogs. Every night before bed I have been curled up with Better Homes & Gardens, Country Home, Southern Living, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, and on and on... I think this has to do with the above comment about home improvement because I am perusing to find ideas for the new house.
- A favorite new blog of mine that was shared by my MIL Teresa - The Pioneer Woman. Please check her out. She is the author of the children's book Charlie the Ranch Dog, and is a hilarious and industrious woman. She has wonderful recipes, gardening and home improvement advice, plus lots of fun giveaways. Emily loves her book and picks it most night to read before bed.
- Lastly, I LOVE my new front porch! We have gotten it cleaned up, killed the few carpenter bee's that threatened to attack it, and have planted some late flowers in my newly unpacked pots. The hubbie and I have been spending some evenings out there just getting used to the peace and new neighborhood. Hopefully some time soon some of you can come visit it! :)
