I covet...

So I have officially survived my first day back after break. Sigh! Covet #1, stay at home moms!

Covet #2...Over break, my mind went racing with about 526 million ideas for our house. Ryan loves me and all of my projects! So, it's off to pick up Lucy McLean and get rolling over to Lowes for some price checks.

Questions for the three people who actually read my blog...

1. Anyone know of cheap (haha) good looking counter top ideas?This is what they look like now.

2. In an older home, do white wooden (fake) blinds or bamboo blinds look better? (for the living room) It is now a khaki color with white trim.

3. We are taking out the bar in the foreground of this picture in an attempt to open up everything. Have any other ideas?

another view of the "bar" areaI basically covet this kitchen... anyone have cheap ideas for this one? HAHAHA

Grammy & Grandpy's Farm Adventure

LM and I have been at my parents since Wednesday. We are packing up and heading home this morning. We have had a blast here. I love her having all of this yard to play in. Not to mention the animals to run after. She is not afraid of any dog. She has cracked us up, running around delirious most of the week. My mom still has two puppies from the last litter and they LOVE Lucy McLean. She can't get away from them. This has been a relaxing retreat for Spring Break (pretty cheap too)!! We did work yesterday though, cleaning out my parents storage. I am bringing back a lot of things for a yard sale next Sat. So, come one, come all to Thomas St. next Sat.

LM's 2nd 1st B-day Party (McLean side)

LM had her very own McLean B-day party at my parents house on Wednesday. I love being with the McLeans and am so glad that LM is named after these fantastic people. We always have a blast. They are so laid back and fun to be around. Here are a few shots from this event...
