Transformation Tuesday!


First I have to say my heart is breaking for those in Oklahoma that have lost loved ones in the storm. I just cannot imagine having kids in school and that taking place and not knowing if you would find them. Praying for everyone affected by these awful storms.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now how do I go from that to this. I just don't know but I will try.

We have 'that' space on our kitchen counter that just gets used and abused. I hope you have one too so I'm not alone! ha! Everything gets thrown there when we come in from the garage daily. I have tried to contain it with a small caddy but it just never seemed to do the job well.

Reading a blog I got some inspiration! I remembered I had something that may do the job better!


    I remembered this organizer thingy my sister in law handed down to me a long
time ago. It's definitely not a perfect solution but it is much better! The drawers are actually useful and easy to see in and the top shelf can hold big stuff. Like my camera that I hate to put up because if I do it never gets used!




I sat a small mason jar with pens and room spray on top as well because those are everyday essentials around these parts. My books that teach me well, that I'm not ready to put up. Picture of my nephew that needs a frame and a sign with a verse that I love seeing daily, a gift from a good friend :)


     Basket with phone charger, ear buds and a place to put wallets, keys, and phones
                                         when we come in the door.




                 Ahh so much better! Now if only it would stay that way! ha!





And can I just say again how in love I am with my kitchen! Lots of hard work but my goodness she is a beauty!

Stay safe in the storms today!

Lately.....

I feel like I have a ton of blog posts titled "lately" ha! but it always seems so appropriate, doesn't it?
If you are a facebook friend these might be repeats....

We have been enjoying this fall weather! Love getting Lucas outside for a bit and I love the smells and sounds of autumn. He loves to ride his "gator" a puts all kinds of stuff in the back that he finds around the yard for his "work" so cute! Cooper will chase Luke in this thing for hours it's so funny!



My fur babies happy and all cleaned up with hair cuts. They really are so sweet.


I have finally put out all my Halloween decor! I can't believe how much I am slacking this year :/
(Notice the counter tops and back splash in this pic, just gorgeous!)


Lucas and I went and picked out pumpkins yesterday! We had lots of fun and came home with 5!



Loving the orange with the blue stool :)


Snagged Luke for a quick picture.

And in other big news we bought a Mustang!!
Brent has been kind of on the look out for one for a while now and he showed me this one Sunday! Went Monday and brought her home! I am excited to have a "fun" car again.


Luke is completely in love and says "I need to go for a ride in my big mustang" I think we will have so much fun with this!


It's a 2003 Mach1, Brent will be happy I knew that but more important (to me anyways) it is so nice on the inside! All leather, nice sound, and pretty roomy for a tiny car.


And the kitchen is getting so close to being finished! All the tile is up and it's beautiful! So blessed with a talented hubby :)



And I think that's it! Seems like we like to do all big things at once around here ;)
