31 Day Challenge-Day 24: A picture of something you wish you could change

If I could change anything it would be how hard Dan has to work!

Even when he has punched the time clock his work still

doesn't end, because his phone rings off the hook all hours of the night

and several times through out the months during the night he gets woken up by alarm calls and

has to get up out of bed and go fix whatever is wrong at the barn.

I am proud of Dan for the hard worker he is but I just wish he could find time to relax



31 Day Challenge..Day 23: A picture of your favorite book

I don't have just ONE favorite book,

but I do have a few books that are special to me...

I've mentioned these before..

I'm in love with my 1950's cookbook..I love the vintage farm house look of it..

and get this...I haven't cooked not ONE recipe out of it!!

I should do something about that!

and..

Wordless Wednesday.....

This is one of my favorite photos!!

What's on Shawna's Phone Tuesdays

Not a whole heck of alot!

 My nephews birthday gift..yes you are seeing that right..

I wrapped it in butcher paper and duct tape!

So what...don't judge me!

Carter with his cousin Trent went out exploring today

and found the ultimate treasure of all.

A birds egg!!

Their excitement of their special find was infectious and brought me back

to when I was a child and how cool and lucky I felt when I too

would find an egg on the ground!

This stuff doesn't just happen every day man!!!

I came across this idea while looking thru a blog hop and drooling over everyone's projects..!!

This is not MY idea..I totally copied it! And I love it :)

I got this idea off of "Keeping It Simple"

You won't beleive how easy this was..and ah hem..MESSY :)

She made up a tutorial on how to make this VERY SIMPLE and CHEAP wreath..you should all go check it out. It only cost me like $3 bucks to make it and I still had supplies left when I was done!

It's nice and bright and even the hubs says it makes the door look "cheery"..and he's color blind lol..

31 Day Challenge -Day 22: A picture of something you wish you were better at.

ORGANIZATION!!!

I am telling you I am such a mess with this topic in life!!!

I dream of everything having a place and everything being put in a place...

To come home to this..would be so dreamy...

But instead I've got this...

(Ignore the dirty mat, it's saw dust from renovating the kitchen)

A pantry ah..to be so ORGANIZED..every woman's dream..Is this really how people LIVE?..

because this is MY pantry...

Love my 70's shelf paper???....

Now I gotta know for sure...is THIS REALLY what it looks like under YOUR bathroom sink?

Mine might look like this for a day..the SAME day that I organized it but by evening it'd be a wreck!

Infact..this is a typical day in our bathrooms...

My bathroom looks like this..

And under Dan and the boys' bathroom sink it looks like this...

Gasp! You see I TRY to bring organization...see the empty toilet roll paper holder there in the back..yea..

it's not functional if you don't use it right...then the baskets...well..that defeated the purpose..(same as the basket on my sink to what is suppose to hold my "make up"..not "and some"...

and look at that 1900's game boy! Now that's poopin in style folks!

....So as you can see....I wish I was better at organization...Im pretty sure it goes hand in hand with my procrastination :)
