Makeover Memory Lane

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday! I haven’t posted since my Birthday! Yikes…I didn’t realize that it had been so long! It has been busy around here. Plus I have been trying to get caught up on housework and trying to get better organized. We all know that those things fall by the wayside when we are on our computers too much right?

I thought it would be fun to take a trip down “Makeover Lane”. I don’t know about any of you, but I am getting the itch to do makeovers again. And I do most of those in my garage. Because I learned real quick that doing them in my kitchen makes for a VERY dusty kitchen. All of that sanding and finishing doesn’t go over too well in the house. And my kids don’t enjoy the smell of stain too much! So hurry up Spring so we can get out there and be creative again! I have an entire shelf in my garage full of goodies just waiting to be transformed!

So here we go, just recapping a few..well quite a few of the makeovers I have done over the past year. Enjoy!

Have a wonderful day everybody! Until next time, take care. ~Sarah~

Feeling Really Blessed

Happy Thursday everyone! It’s my Birthday today and I just have to share with you how absolutely blessed I feel! To the point of tears in my eyes. It is overwhelming!
I started off my day with my husband and kids wishing me Happy Birthday! The cheesecake is already in the refrigerator just waiting for tonight! Yum! My nephew and his wife have offered to watch the kids so that my husband and I can go out for supper! Thanks Tyson and Mikaela! :)
Aren’t they the cutest newlywed couple you have ever seen!?  :)

Today I am really taking a moment to reflect on my family and friends. Like I said it is overwhelming. I have the most incredible family anyone could ask for. We are all here for one another in good times and in the not so good times. To know that I have that support whenever I may need it is a great comfort. Thank you family.  I appreciate and love you all more and more everyday!

Friends….old and new. They are a blessing. I will start with old friends. My best friend from high school, we are still in touch often, we still laugh about the same things! We can still finish each other’s sentences and we keep all of those “inside jokes” in our back pockets for whenever either one of us needs some cheering up! I recently had my 20th high school reunion. Re-connecting with those friends was so fun! It was like we stepped back in time! Most of us have now found each other on Facebook and it’s been great seeing everyone’s children, where they live, what they are doing etc.



So if you can’t tell…I feel blessed. Did I mention that I feel blessed? Haha! But the emails, texts and cards keep coming. I am just overwhelmed and overjoyed today. And I can’t help it!
Oh by the way…. I am 39 today! :)
Thank you all for taking the time to stop by my blog and leave such sweet comments! I appreciate each and every one of you!
Have a wonderful day! Until next time. Take care. ~Sarah~

A Little Dose Of Summer

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you are all doing well! I thought that we could all use a little dose of Summer. Just in case some of us have those “Snowy, Winter Blues”.

We are still buried in snowdrifts so high that you have to creep out very carefully at the intersections. Can’t even see over some of them. And the snow piles in the parking lots are HUGE!

I hope you enjoy these warm, Summery images!

Here is our front porch in the Summer. Look at all the green and the fresh flowers. Ahhhhhh…….

 

 

Can’t wait until I can sit here with my cold ice tea!

Now we are going to take a little virtual trip to Hawaii. These are photos that my nephew and his wife took there! Can you say paradise~

And here is one of my favorite pictures that my nephew took right through the lens of his sunglasses! 

And what says Summer fun like playing in the sprinkler with your clothes on!

 

 

If it is cold where you are I hope these photos warmed you up a bit! If it is warm where you are…enjoy the warmth and get out into that beautiful weather!

Until next time. Take care. ~Sarah~
