A room with a view…

October 22, 2009

I’m pretty lucky that one day a month….my home is clean enough to show you. It’s unfortunate…

that it only lasts for one day…..the clean house that is.

This room is the room we call the sun room. When we bought the house a little over 2 years ago…it was just a screened in sun porch….pretty much a 3 season room. That’s what people around here call screened in porches……a 3 season room…..silly….because normally it’s so freakin humid here that no one wants to even sit outside in the summer…so why have a room that can only be used a few months out of the year?

After we bought the house….we gutted the room….piped in venting so that it’s heated in the winter and cool in the summer.

This room is not only a sun room…but it’s my office as well……and i love fall….because the gorgeous big tree out back is what i look at.
I love this room…it’s perfect.

my desk is an old farm table that i tacked linen around…..pretty much so you can’t see the junk that hides underneath…..seriously…..it’s for your own good.


I love the look of painted wood floors…..yes…..we painted the wood floors white…..and yes they get dirty…but i love…love them. I’m really close to painting the floors upstairs……really close….but i’m getting talked out of it…..and somehow……I get talked out of a lot of things…..

so let me ask you your opinion…..

yes or no ?

I will then present the tally to the “person” that is talking me out it.


I might wear these glasses with my tooth fairy costume at Halloween…..gives my outfit a bit of ooomf!

I don’t really know if that’s really a word so don’t call me when you try and use it on your next scrabble attempt and lose because you said……kasey used the word…..

ooomf.

I got that darling settee off of craigslist right after we moved in….a screaming deal…don’t you love craigslist?

That concludes a tour of a room with a view. Do you see that hammock sitting so lonely in the back……yes…poor thing……the weather has been so crummy and i know it misses us. There is nothing better

than grabbing a big ole duvet….a good book….and climbing in that with a kid or two……

or even better……while the kids are at school……take a nap in it.

Just don’t forget that you are in it while the kids are at school…then fall asleep…..

because that is so not cool when you fall asleep and forget and the kids get off the bus and can’t

find you in the house.

nope.

not cool.

Hello monday..

October 19, 2009

I learned ten things this weekend.

1. make sure you know where your scarf is before you go pee at a restroom.


2. just because you have a tub of popcorn at the movies followed by an apple…that isn’t “watching what you eat…”

3. Somehow i end up with 2 out of 3 kids…….which makes for uneven parenting….

4. We love a good walk in the woods…..

5. I love living in a state that has four seasons…..

6. The book and the movie…’where the wild things are’ …are quite different { i love that my kids questioned everything in the movie}….even why Max was so unhappy.

7. I can cry at a childrens movie…….

8. Skirts are really cute inside the house….but when you step outside and it’s 30 degrees…your leg hairs start to hate you……

9. My kids love boxed {dehydrated} mashed potatoes……and it’s just as easy to make as mac n cheese…
10. I made homemade pancakes the other day…and Fin demanded that i give him the real pancakes….the ones from the freezer…….{why do i bother cooking..}

10. Even though i promised i would have the “official” invite ready for ‘An Inspired Evening’…..some things don’t go as planned ….

11. I’m glad i don’t have a checklist…..umm…..i do have a checklist actually…..but don’t worry…because i’m not one of those that gets carried away when things don’t go as planned….nope….i’m not one of those..
