Refinished furniture

Alrighty sooo I don't have a full BEFORE picture ... but this thing was a pain in the butt! In the end it looks amazing though....so I started staining it with a grey I though I liked and well I didn't so I had to start from scratch....I resanded every little nook and cranny  And I finally found a product I liked!.... This is called cape cod gray...I put in on with a a thick brush and small strokes,  And this is what the garage looked like..needless to say nick was pleased I was finally done and excited and stain was EVERYWHERE... side note always put down a protectent for the floor (rooky mistake). Then my amazing husband helped me put on all the hardware afterwards The table went from a regular table to an ottoman type table because we wanted to be able to store blankets and stuff in without trying to stuff it in those tiny doors, plus the cabinets are deep and it was just an easier option for us.  Finished pr...

Time to play catch up

Sorry for lags on the posting...had kind of a hectic slash relaxing weekend. So Thursday Nick had to come home from work after being SICK...and I mean sick...I felt so bad for him, I was working all day and the future nurse kicked in I stopped at the store and grabbed all the amazing things my mama picked up for me when I was sick.... ginger ale, gatorade, saltines, and soup...right there..all you need!  Wanna know how I know I'm going to be a good nurse??? It worked... I cured him! LOL ....or that bug ran it's course.... lol So we made the best of the weekend without being too far from home so just in case I caught what he had or his body decided to have SIKE JK moment. Was it 90 degrees where you were??? Saturday was soon freaking hot! We went to the beach and tried to lay out ...that lasted maybe an hour....the water was too cold to get into.. and it was way too hot to lay out typical Michigan.  LOL Soo we decided to go on a drive where we cou...

Everything happens for a reason!

This is something I truely believe...even if I don't see it at first.  I know it's hard to always stay positive during such tragic situations but I've been through enough trials so far to know that even though all those challenges brought heartache or despair after a time of seeing the whole picture something good always comes out of it.  Unfortunately we were witness to this recently... After two not easy years (a roof needing to be replaced, a tree falling down on our backyard, two car accidents, a broken hand, a loss of a loved one, an injury to another loved one and loss of a dog) and many other small incidents we decided to sell a piece of something that gave us such pride and joy to redo and refurnish and make our own that it was time for us to move closer to work.  This would help us put all that negativity behind us!  We found a beautiful condo that was a perfect price, perfect location, perfect size! So close to closing on both properties and somethi...

Shakeology Review

Image
Alrighty you guys! I've found my favorite way to drink Shakeology or at least this one. I personally got the Caffe Latte.  This one I've seen alot on friends pages and was intrigued.  Anyone who knows me KNOWS I NEED my coffee.  Otherwise I'm not such a pleasent person! Now, the first time I drank this I tried what people said to do mix it in a shaker with some water..... YUCK!! Idk what your taste buds are like but mine did not like that one bit! GROSS.  It wasn't chunky or anything just so bland tasting!  Sooo they send a sheet of recipes,  These all look good right?? See i'm so plain...it's not for me personally.  I love fruit, I love oatmeal but not in my shake that doesn't sound appetizing to me.  So I went with good ol faithful.  How I make my coffee accept no sugar needed.  If I must say, that is the healthiest coffee I've ever had. If you want any info for some shakeology let me know! They have some packs available fo...
