"Fairy food"

I was taking the garbage out when I saw this... 

My sisters are awesome! 

Who else remembers doing this as a kid?

Fixer Upper!

So I'm going to accomplish nothing for the next couple of days. Netflix just got season two of Fixer Upper! If you know what that is you should be screaming too. If you don't know what it is I'll tell you and then you can scream.

Chip and Joanna Gaines, own and operate Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and "Fixer Upper" shows the process by which the couple turn dilapidated but potential-rich houses into showplaces that are helping revitalize whole neighborhoods throughout central Texas. Chip manages the construction and realty side of Magnolia and Joanna is the lead designer. 

But what makes this show truly great is the couple themselves. They are the cutest funniest couple ever to have their own TV show. Usually I can't stand watching shows like this because of the people in it, but they are just so real and funny. And they have a cute family...

If you have Netflix go binge watch season 1 and 2. Then look forward to season 3! Hope you enjoy :)

Im going to go... work now...

Home Away From Homes

Do you have those places that just feel like an extension of home? I'm an introvert, that means I need to recharge and being at home is the best place for that. But some specific places can also recharge me, and those places are my most happiest places on earth. 1. Book stores, 2. The Shakespeare Festival. 

I don't know about you but whenever I step into a book store I feel like time disappears and I could brows the shelves forever without any consequences. 

Twice a year we go as a family down to the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City. Whenever I even think about it it makes me happy! It is a vacation that involves my passion for theater, and the whole atmosphere is just so saturated with it. Truly my home away from homes. 

What are you're home away from homes? What places re-charge you?

Families and Mission Quotes

I thought I would post these because they are nice simply quotes, and I love the water color backgrounds :)



Its very important for us to remember what is said in these quotes. We have families for a reason. We are here to help and support each other.
Our personal missions are all different, and God has us all in his mind. Remember this as you go through your week.

Future Home Tour

Sometimes I think I waste way to much time thinking about my future home... oh but who cares! Its fun :)

over all vision

Homeschool Room

I want to have a big family and homeschool. I also want to do it in an orderly fashion so a room dedicated to an environment of learning and creativity is very important for my future home.
I love the idea of big tables that can have multiple crafts and projects going on at once on them. The look of refinished lockers is really fun and can be a good way for each child to store their individual stuff. and may I just say reading nooks are the best!!

Kitchen

A while ago I watched a show called Fixer Upper (go watch it!) and may I just say they truly made me fall in love with the white subway tile backsplash look. Open shelving is also very much a favorite. Chalk boards are also very fun. Something I have wanted in my kitchen since I was very young (inspired by Daddy Day Care) is a breakfast nook/ restaurant booth. They're just so cute and cozy.

Entry + Living room

Simple and bright with lots of natural light, that is my living room style. Book shelves, tall bookshelves, bookshelves covering every wall!! Mwahahaha!! beautiful old fireplaces, and oh my would you look at that rounded hobbit like entry door! its beautiful...

Master Bedroom

Cozy cozy cozy... ahh. That is how I want to feel when I enter my master bedroom. Fairy lights are essential. More books and a secrete hide away just for my own personal work/rest space.

Exterior 

I've always loved big old houses. Especially ones with big rap around porches. More fairy lights!! A fun big yard with lots to explore. Fun garden to work together in, and we will build our own fun tree house. I just discovered that you can make a natural swimming pool/pond and it looks amazing!

Hope you enjoyed my little future house tour. Now go be excited about your future home!
