Home Improvement

By -



I'm not sure how many of you already know this, but Lowes has the most amazing website! I've been looking online for several "home improvement" jobs I'm going to be doing this summer and theirs is the best!
They have organizational tips (so up my ally) and lots of other stuff to help people out with any type of job you're doing. Some of our jobs are basic and some are going to be pretty in depth. They even teach you how to lay your own hardwood floor! I was quite impressed and wanted to share.

Home improvemnent projects--ah yes! The never ending task of home ownership where a home is always "in progress" in one way or another. :-) I've always favored Lowe's too.

You really want to know? I thought about blogging about them, but its kind of something I get excited/anxious about and I don't think anyone else would... maybe other moms would, who knows. :)

They're just projects around the house, in preparation for the baby. We're going to be making the closet space a little more spacious, by adding another wooden rail across the middle. Since the kid's clothes are still small/short, I realized we can totally utilize the space in there by adding another bar across the middle!
Anyway, then we're going do the garage (I get a head ache just thinking about it)

The coolest project is going to be crown molding to go around the ceilings in the front of our house. I'm going to do the play room first, as my test run. My Dad's going to help me cut the wood, then I'll paint it when we have room in our garage and then we'll nail it up and finish it off! Next year we plan to purchase hardwood floor from Costco and install it ourselves. If you're looking for some gentle comedy, stop by when we're in the process of that job... I can guarantee you'll get a good laugh. :)
I feel like I missed something. There's lots of little organizational stuff to do by this fall, but the BIG stuff comes next year.

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be sure to l

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.
