So it is December already and I have pretty much failed at my 2016 challenge of focusing on one room a month.. I would love to say that I have been doing some really important things and that is the reason I have failed at blogging regularly but alas, that is not the case. I have been extra lazy and have started and not finished several projects in the house..  For instance, we recently painted and rearranged our bedroom. Since we moved in, this room had no trim on some of the walls and crappy trim on the remaining walls. I always feel like finishing touches are the things that make the space. So, we re-trimmed the bedroom and it's awesome! It finally feels about 70% finished. In all of our apartments, our bedroom was the last thing (if ever) to get attention. It felt like a hodge podge of furniture and bedding. I have long wanted a master like in the movies or magazines. I have a few more finishing touches to put into this space and it will be ready to blog:)  An...

It has been a really rough week for us.  Monday started off unusually well for a Monday.  It quickly ended more Monday-y.. The AC went out late afternoon during the hottest week of the summer. Great... 10:30 pm - Tiffany get sprayed by a skunk. Really? Hubs calls screams up to me "Kendra! Get down here! Tiff just got sprayed by a f*&%#ing skunk!!" Shortly after the smell wafts through the open windows... Note: The AC is broken, so I'm doing the best I can at staying cool -- naked.  I scramble to find clothes (we just did laundry yet I can't seem to find a decent set of clothes to throw on...) and run down the stairs and M says "OMG She's foaming at the mouth!"  I keep my cool because I know she is not foaming at the mouth, she is just trying to get this awful stench out of her face.  I come through the kitchen to find my poor little pooperhead has been quarantined to the front porch all by herself as hubs frantica...

It has been well over a month since the last I posted but we have been so busy in the yard! It still looks like shit if that was your next question..  We've been growing grass and trying to figure out the layout for landscape in all parts of the yard. I think it is extra hard for us because we are basically starting from scratch. We're slowly realizing we're not landscape designers.. If anyone has an expertise in landscaping - PLEASE contact me ASAP before we get evicted.. We're starting to look like a foreclosure -- again.. Anyways.. HAPPY FRIDAY! I'm feeling fancy :) It's been a minute since I did a friday fancys but I think today is a perfect day! More than anything in the world right now - I want a tiny house.  That may come to a surprise to most, BUT of course I would have a large shed/barn for all of my furniture and home accessories.  I have recently become obsessed with "Tiny House, Big Living" on HGTV. There ar...

Originally I was going to brag about the pound and a half that I lost this week BUT something else trumped that..  I woke up yesterday morning and I did what I normally do after I put out a new post - I check my views. I know I'm pathetic, I really am. On a good day, I get about 200-300 views per post- I'm not sure what other bloggers get but this is my average. That means I either have 200-300 people viewing my post or my mother-in-law is trying to boost my views by opening and closing my page (she's my biggest supporter). The most views I have reached is over 400 - which amazed me. Yesterday morning I open my account and I have over EIGHT HUNDRED views! I have absolutely no idea how this happened, most likely it is a glitch in the system getting me excited over false information..  This morning I am just under ONE THOUSAND  views (on one post) people! I literally can't even.  The irony of the timing of this is that after my post on Friday, Hubs says I am a g...
