Some families have garage bands…others have basement dance floors. 
Check out what my sweet girls created together for their school talent show this week! Yes, they’re cute and even a little bit talented, but what this Mommy is most proud of is to see three daughters who love each other and want to work and play together to create such fun for all of us to enjoy. Kevin and I are ridiculously blessed by these girls!

. . .should know how to shoot a gun!
Last week my girls and I took an unexpected trip back to Kentucky to visit my grandfather who is really sick. We caught a high school girls basketball game, ate at Cracker Barrel (of course), shopped downtown Princeton and enjoyed family for a few winter days.
Winter in Kentucky, though, feels much like spring right now. I wish I had taken pictures of all the daffodils (or buttercups) already lining the hillsides and yards. It’s February for goodness sake!
And on one of those sunny days Pop decided to take these city girls and make them hunters in training. . .
I think there might just be a little country blood in these city girls after all!

One of my friends told me about this fantastic product. Of course, I was hesitant. Taking on this transformation made me super nervous because if I screwed up my bathroom cabinets it would be a huge time and financial undertaking to “fix.” Still, I bought the kit about a month ago ($75) and just let it sit in my garage. . .until one day a few weeks ago inspiration and bravery hit me all at the same time. I’m so glad it did!
Now I have 3 completely transformed bathrooms. . .for $75!!!
Only the girls’ bathroom is 95% complete with new paint and curtain (still needs a new door knob and light bulbs), but the other 2 will soon follow suit on the next day that inspiration hits.
All bathrooms started with a lovely 1980′s pine.
And 3 easy steps later we now have 3 updated sets of bathroom cabinets!
Here’s the girls’ bathroom
I’ll add more later.
Not bad, eh?

I typically wake up when the rest of the house is sound asleep. . .and this is my “spot.” It’s here that I have my morning cup of coffee and read my Bible before the day gets started. But if you can tell, this chair is kinda low to the ground. No table I have been able to find has ever been just right. And my morning cuppa joe never has had quite the right place to rest. . . until today.
You know how yesterday I told you about my Goodwill addiction? Well, it paid off yet again. A 98 cent can of black spray paint, a black metal tray, a bown metal plant stand that I painted, Mod Podge, a piece of scrapbook paper and some glue. . .and voila!
$4.00 and a day later. . .I now have the perfect morning coffee table!

How many of you are addicted to http://www.pinterest.com? I am! Pinterest has become my version of therapy these days. I can go there and escape for hours…much like my husband can escape to computer game world. I do have to brag that my escape is a bit more productive in the end, though. I love the DIY section. The projects match up beautifully with my Goodwill addiction (o yes, yet another I haven’t told you about). Most of the projects are about reusing things that you already have at home or discover in Goodwill or yard sale quality and then restore. Anyway, I actually have quite a few completed projects to share with you. I’ll start with the first one I finished about 2 weeks ago. As life has been much more intense than usual lately, it very well could be that Pinterest can be credited for my sanity in the middle of a very hard and trying season of life. So. . . thank God for Pinterest? HA!!
$1.00 tray from Michael’s clearance, 2 pieces of scrapbook paper, one foam paintbrush,
Mod Podge, wooden letter “C”

Thanks to our girls’ Puerto Rican heritage we get to celebrate Three Kings Day every January. I have to admit that I had never heard of Three Kings Day in my life until Kevin. But after all these years – almost 15! – I have to say that it is one I have become quite fond of (yes, I know you’re not supposed to end a sentence in a preposition, Mom, but I took it out 3 times and decided that not saying “of” at the end just doesn’t sound right at all )
Anyway, every year the kids are supposed to set out grass and a treat for the camels and 3 kings. In return, they leave a very special gift for them. This is to symbolize the very special gifts that the three kings left baby Jesus. Just like Santa and everything else, as the girls get older, the magical part of it all starts to fade a bit – as you will see with Emma’s letter to the Three Kings . Still, they chose to leave each girl a very special gift yet again this year. Take a look. . .
Looks like we are in for a fun day sometime very soon!
