Blogs I love

I love blogs.  I love reading blogs.  DIY blogs, home improvement blogs, decorating blogs, food blogs... I love them all.  Writing my own blog?  Wasn't as easy as I thought it would be!  I have not given up hope, I will try again.  But until I master it all, I still love reading blogs.  My family knows how much I love reading the ones that I follow, and my daughter even calls it my blog love.  And sometimes I feel kinda stocker-ish, you know?  Reading my blog loves, and learning about their lives, and not even introducing myself to say hi.  So this is me saying hi..."Hi y'all, I love your blog."

So I would like to give a shout out to you, my blog loves.  You are the ones that inspire me, motivate me, and make me believe I can do anything. 

Young House Love - I first found YHL when planning my own DIY wedding, and stumbled upon their beautiful backyard wedding archive. At the time that I found them, they were just having a baby!  A new beautiful baby, and DIY home improvement?  I was hooked.
DIY Diva - Have you met this bad ass tool wielding chica?  I mean hello?  Get a contractors license and build a house?  Yes please.  Buy a 150 year old farm house and make it your own?  Why not?  She literally made me believe I really could remodel my own kitchen all by myself with this one post.
The Flipping Couple - They are just about the most adorable DIY couple you could ever read about, and their furbabies are the most precious things ever!
For The Love Of A House - Her decor is pure eye-candy!  I just get lost in the beauty of her home.  People, my house will never get 1/10th as gorgeous as this, and that's ok.  But oh my goodness, it is stunning to look at!
A Country Farmhouse - Again, absolute home eye-candy!  And babies!  She posts the prettiest flowers photos, and occassional recipes, and adorable babies.  Awwwws at every turn.
Beth's Journey - Beth is truly an inspiration on healthy eating and exercise.  Both of which I hope to one day do.  Haha.  She introduced me to eating 'whole foods' and her quest and passion for being healthy is an inspiration.
The Pioneer Woman - What's not to love?  Food, cute kids, ranch living, more food, a husband in chaps, and more food.  What can I say?  She knows my weaknesses...

The Kitchen Construction Post 1

It has been a while since a post has been up. But one makes plans and then life gets in the way. So we are redoing the kitchen. Some modifications have already been done, but lets look at it. The pantry had more shelves that have been removed. We plan on making the cabinets white to open up the room since its so small.
