I Promise I’ve Been Working on Something…

Well I was until these crazy flu-like symptoms started up on Sunday night. Grrrr.  We’ve all been sick around here, including our little girl.  So needless to say, I haven’t accomplished much this week except eating pints of Blue Bell ice cream. :(  BUT, I will show you what I am going to try and attempt to finish today…

The fake wainscoting.  The office will be complete once I put all the boxes up.  Y’all didn’t know I painted the bottom out white did ya? :)  So if I am able to tolerate the nail gun with my pounding headache, it should be finished today.  But then of course I will still have to caulk and paint the boxes the same white color as the wall, so it will be at least a 2 day project.

Oh, and an update to my pity post the other day…Y’all were right.  Once I started accessorizing and hanging things on the walls, the room really came together, and I LOVE the paint color. :)  Yay!!  I took that rug back also.  Hubby didn’t like it, so we won’t have a rug for now.  It still looks good without a rug, so that’s a plus too.  There is one I want to try from Overstock though…maybe one day.   I’m just so glad I like the room and won’t have to repaint it.  <high five!>

So that’s about it.  Just wanted to give y’all a brief little update. :)

    Feel better soon! I hate being sick!! So glad the room came together and you are happy with it. I have since seen a few pictures of houses with those colors near each other and I think they work well. Good luck with the wainscoting! Okay, back to the dungeon (basement) to continue decrapifying. I am on a mission!

      Thanks Lauren! Yea, I think it’s a trend using those colors and I didn’t even know it. Sweet! Be safe in the dungeon. :)

    Hope you get to feelin better soon. Can’t wait to see your wainscoting. I may try that in my dining room (in several years) it always looks so nice and really makes the room. Be blessed, Karyl =0)

    I have fake wainscotting in my living and dining room, and I plan to also add it to my entry way. It just brightens everything up so nicely and makes it look classier!

      Yes, exactly! :)

    I think the cold and flu season has hit! You are about the 5th person I “know” that is coming down with something. I hope you feel better soon. Can’t wait to see the faux wainscoting. But don’t over do it, it will be there for you tomorrow as well.

This is what happens when you go to the neighborho This is what happens when you go to the neighborhood petting zoo at Christmas to see the baby goats.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

2 labradoodle puppies were NOT on my 2026 vision board, but here we are.🥰

How could you NOT with these gorgeous colorings?! A red and blue Merle are so unique, and they are the sweetest!🐶🐶

It was my first time going with Randy to one of hi It was my first time going with Randy to one of his gigs. This wasn’t just any gig though. It was a very special wedding for a beautiful couple.❤️

And after witnessing firsthand what all he does for events like this, I have a new appreciation for what he does because it is a LOT.🤯

From loading in setting up three PA systems in 3 separate areas, then immediately switching gears to performance mode and playing ceremony music + sax, dinner music + MC’ing, then reception DJ’ing + sax. It was really pretty freaking mind-blowing to be honest. And then you have to tear it all down! Talk about a full day (I felt hungover the next day and I don’t even drink), but if you are in the entertainment business you get it. And he does this multiple times a month!

So many moving parts, and being flexible when you need to switch gears at the last minute, and he handles it with so much ease. That’s why he’s the professional at his craft.🫶

I was just there more as his emotional support person, but would love to do more events with him where I’m actually useful. 🤪Maybe I’ll learn to wrap up cords the right way one day to his liking, but that’s doubtful. 🤣

It was the perfect new year’s day and can’t wait to do it again!❤️

Congrats @claudine.said and @chefaustinsimmons it was a JOY witnessing your special day.

3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔 Does life mo 3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔

Does life move on? 

Yes, but not without a hazy fog lingering over you that never fully lifts.

Not without the deep ache in your heart longing for more time.

Not without reaching for your phone wanting to call or text.

Not without the family gatherings knowing someone is missing, even though no one mentions it.

Not without crying when you think of him or look at old photos.

I still cannot talk about him without tearing up. Certain songs or sayings break me.

After losing a parent, everything looks different. Time with your family begins to feel more intentional, because you want the moments to last.

The hustle feels less important, because you realize your people matter more than any dollar amount.

Grief and gratitude can coexist. It’s okay to be sad, and it’s okay to be thankful for a dad who is worth missing.❤️
