DIY Bulletin Board

I have been wanting to make a Bulletin Board for AWHILE now.

And a friend of mine sent me over a new blog to start following and she had made the cutest bulletin!

So I used some of her ideas and came up with my own that would match my house design and color!

Below are the Materials used

Pom-Pom Pins I made

and the finished Product!

I am very happy with the results!!!

All the Supplies needed!



Hot Glue Gun and Pom-Poms to make cute Pins!

I may qweek the board a little bit by adding some more thumb tacks around the edges!

But overall It was a DIY Success! :)

Happy Friday!

Weekend Update

This weekend was the best!!

Friday we went and walked on the Big Four Bridge downtown.

( It was a surprise late night car ride = Sweetest Hubby )

A Quick Pic on the Bridge!

Then Saturday we went to Jim Beam!!

It was so fun to tour the facility and see how each bottle is created and prepared with the shelves.

Along with a quick stop at Bernheim Forest to waste some time before our Tour.

The forest was so pretty, we cant wait to go back when we have more time to hike and see some wild life!

Pretty Place

Cheese!

Sunday was a relaxing day with dinner at the Inlaws.

Monday I took off to take my baby to the doctor, no worries just a well visit. :)

But it was nice to have a longer weekend with my love.

Happy Tuesday!!

Dress Up



This weekend was pretty low key.

Friday night we went to see our close friends who are pregnant and due in just a little more then five weeks now. It was nice to see the nursery and catch up before the baby is here.

Saturday Nathan worked in the morning so I cleaned and ran some errands.

Saturday afternoon there was a knock on the door.

It was Sweet Katie, we had colored the night before and she was bringing me the pictures.

She came in and hung out for a bit, then went home to get her princess dress up dresses, and then her big box of dolls. We had fun playing dress up and with her princess dolls.

This little girl is to smart and a joy to be around!

Above is my fav picture of her that day, she is actually wearing both of her pricess dresses in this photo!

Sunday was a chill day, much needed before a busy week ahead!!

Happy Monday

Play dress up once in awhile its really fun!!

XOXO

Thursday July 11



We were hopeful that when we woke up on Thursday that we would have our power back.
To my surprise we did not, so when my alarm went off for work, I was like Not going to happen look at this hair! haha
So I went to my car so that I could charge my dead phone to e-mail my boss and let her know I wouldnt be in to work today. And then off to get breakfast with my hubby and borrow his dads generator so we could at least power our refrigerator.
Then Home for a nap, barely slept the night before.
I finally decided to call LG&E and they said it could be Friday before our power would be back on. :(
I went to work with Nathan for the day , because I could cover my hair with a Hat with that job!!:)
By the time we returned home after 4pm the power was BACK!

We spent some more time with our neightbors last night because they are my fav kids ever!!!
Above is a Picture of Katie and I last night Happy we have Power back!! :)

Happy Friday!

No Power!!

 There was an awful storm that came through on Wednesday and allowed us to lose power.. oh YAY!

Our "No Power" Faces


This never happens to us so we were not happy haha, I guess you can say Spoiled.

But we decided to make the best power outage we could by playing outside with our niece and nephew and the guys played basketball and we ended the evening on the front porch, please outside was cooler then inside our house at that point.

Alex & Ani

I always find myself with a new obcession

almost every few months..

Lately its the collection of bracelets

and this time I wanted them to be bracelets that meant something

to me or represented something that is important to me.

My best Friend Lauren told me about the brand Alex and Ani

months ago..

I fell inlove with her collection she had began collecting.

I decided last month that I would start my collection with the

"Love Wrap".

This "Love Wrap" symolized Optimisim, Bliss and Affection

all things that I acknowledge that I need in my life Daily.

So when I fell inlove with the look of the bracelet and then the meaning

I knew this had to be my first purchase.

It came earlier this week and since I have worn it daily.

With two friendship braclets that a friend from work made me and one that I made myself!!

(I really just like to make things.)

So on this quite Fifth of July I thought I would share my First of Many Alex & Ani's!!



P.S. I have also been working on painting some old wicker chairs to possibly put on our fabulous Front Porch my Hubby built us.

I put the first coat of brown paint on them Tuesday Night already a HUGE difference

I plan to finish them this weekend, Weather permitting!!

Look for my Pictures to come!

Happy Fifth of July!!

TGIF!!

XOXO
