Sweet 16 Today...

Happy Birthday Mallory!
Dad got up at 6:00 a.m. to make her
birthday pancakes before school.  Of course we
had to have a candle to blow out because she's off
 to spend a fun filled weekend with her
sister Hillary afterschool today!  Concert, skating
and other fun  sister stuff! 
Our baby's growing up!

Me Being A Proud Momma....



  (Please turn off my playlist if you want to listen to her...I could not figure out how to turn it off myself for you, but if you just click on the pause button it will work ...Sorry)



Her DREAM as long as I can remember, has always been to
grow up and be a famous singer!  I know I am her Mom, but
I think she is on her way!
Thanks for listening!

Vintage....

We've had this little kit for years now.
Never really used it,
but, kept it in the cupboard for memories sake!


 It is something my father-in-law got
years ago when he worked at
Post Cereals
in the research department.
He "invented"/came up with
alot of the cereals that go into our
cupboards today!
My husband remembers being
the guinea pig for alot that
worked and alot that didn't!


 Looks like he got this back in 1973!


 This is the list that was originally inside.


 As you can see in the first picture, it needed some
cleaning up.  So I got out my handy wipes and went at it!


 Almost like new!


Then I packed it up with band-aides, wipes,
gauze pads, tape, clippers, pins, and
cotton swabs.

What a fun little way to store all the
boo boo necessities!
Don't you think?

Happy Valentine's Day....

I thought I'd share with you what my
Valentine got me!
If you remember just a couple weeks ago,
we repainted our kitchen.  And I showed you
the pictures and talked about how the next
thing "hopefully" to come was a new microwave
and backsplash to finish off the room.


 Here is the before.
Old....at least 12 yrs old, microwave.
That believe me when I say was showing it's age!
 Also notice the above empty space.  That was
done by the previous owners. 
 We could only guess
what they had in mind and
 why they didn't finish it.
But, up until now, it was just not high on
 our priority list to fix!

But this weekend....


 my husband decided to tackle that
ugly eyesore in the kitchen.

 So he built a cupboard space.

 Attached it to the other cupboard space above
and to the wall, so he could .....

 Put up my brand new microwave!
I was sooo excited, I could hardly wait.
This microwave required it to be
 mounted to the cupboard above.
Well, since we had none,
that meant he had to build one.
So I waited and waited all day for
the glue and the stain
and the poly-urethane to dry. 
Do you ever get that excited over
something like this?  I do! Silly I know!
But, it's True Love to me!
I had to take Mal and a friend to
the next town to a movie
(Justin Bieber)
And he said when I got back we
would put in the microwave.
But...true to my husband's way,
he had it in (with Tom's help) and
 ready for me when I
got Home!  All decorated and everything!
And silly me, got all excited about this....




 Ha, ha....I just had to
 take a picture of each word!
I love it!
That's how badly we needed a new microwave!

 So here is the view....
Next, the backsplash!
This is THE BEST Valentine's gift for me!
I LOVE YOU Honey!
Thanks!

Do You See What I See....

Welcome, I left the light on for you!
Although, the snow has covered half of my window.


It's a bit "Frosty" out there
so you should hurry in.



Maybe I should have shoveled for you first.
There's about 12 inches to get thru.


And more to come!
They say at least 2 to 5 more inches expected.

Lots of white!

Hubby was up and out to try and get to work.
But, he had to blow the snow first!


You can barely see him!
He's very dedicated!


You can see his path out....
and his path back!

What are you seeing out your door this morning?
