during the move; inside pics

By -
During the move Jason reminded me to grab the camera and snap some "in the process" pictures. 
I'm glad he did because its a fun process to look back on. 
Sadly, I grabbed the camera late at night and our lens doesn't take evening indoor pictures so well. 
This house is all one level and very spacious, which is nice. Its about 500+ square feet larger than our previous house. I miss some of the new'ness of the old house, but we're quite comfy here. 
Probably the #1 thing I miss most is the amazing view, the windows everywhere, with light coming in at every angle. Its taken a bit getting used to living down in the trees :) 

 we almost packed Kara!

I wish I had snapped a picture of Josh...

Thank you!

Drea, same with us. We keep saying "this is our last move" but I know we eventually want to buy a place, so who knows. Maybe we'll buy this place!

We started painting the master bedroom this weekend and it looks amazing! I'm really excited to see it all finished. We're gonna do Ethan's bedroom next and then tackel the office. Those vaulted ceilings make it hard :)

So exciting : ) It is hard to remember to take pictures during the craziness of it all, isn't it? So happy for you. Wishing you all the best in your new home : )

It is good to take photos during craziness. That way, you won't forget how much progress you have made. :-) It looks beautiful! And I love the flooring in the kids playroom. I can't wait to see photos of the finished house!

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 ...

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.  ...
