I had this cutie for a date to a beauty of a wedding in Mt. Juliet this weekend
the groom and bride radiated love, their joy was palpable
Mozel Tov Patrick and Erica!
my darling parents
(I only wish I’d known how hip they are when I lived with them)
these gals know how to have fun
so does this one
her “sprinkler” dance move is epic
her “boogie on down” isn’t too bad either
ah, Ava- I will break out my “boogie on down” at your wedding
it was a beautiful day (U2 pun intended)

this morning, I woke up early
unable to go back to sleep, I decided I needed a little chevron cheer
so I made this wreath while the coffee brewed
it’s that fast y’all
I should have been shaking this chevron wreath way before now
this is the sad state of my craft room
but I love having a zone for all my project goodness
after work, a Hobby Lobby run
and more chevron shaking baby

while crafting around, I found this photo of my Ava girl
I knew I needed the visual reminder to focus on joy
and this girl, she knows joy
she brought me these, with a little grin
they make my spring mantle sing

I need a little bit of not so heavy in my life,
these things make me smile
Ava girl, so beautiful
a boy and his harmonica
t-ball and cousins- great combo
tea parties
even warriors need to refuel
a mini make over
my t-ball love
my kind of happy

I am so very heartbroken by the tragedy in Boston
I am so very puzzled by the brutality and the capacity for evil to wrap itself in a shell of a human
A friend is told she is no longer needed after 28 year of faithful service
I am baffled by bureaucratic priorities that value the bottom line more than all else
we’re all hurried, stressed, pulled in many directions
frantic for hope, for rest
so I pray and breathe
and buy flowers and cook dinner and paint my kitchen
and spin and put one foot in front of the other
sometimes that’s the only brave thing we can do

sooooo here is the new laundry room!
just a reminder of before
now the details
shelf on wall across from washer and dryer, hello crafty goodness!
extended view into mud room
my work station with more storage behind the chevron
as you can see, we still need to paint the clothes rack and install laundry sink
but we’re calling it mostly done
it was a bit more work than either of us had anticipated
Joey the Rock Star Husband gets full props for the fabulous work
I need props for living in major laundry chaos for four weeks
there is just something about
drywall dust, removing old linoleum, and having a washer in my kitchen
that made me feel cray-cray!
here’s the before of the living room
and the after
that little yellow puff
well it followed me home and I was helpless against it’s charms
