Guest post written by Kimberly Standford Our house definitely isn't' the biggest. But I don't think that the two of us really need anything bigger, at least not for the time being. I'm working on decorating everything to make things seem bigger and more welcoming to everyone who visits us. So I'm working on outfitting our dining room so that we won't hesitate to bring a bunch of people over for dinner parties and other events. I've been doing a whole lot of research on it so that we can find the best possible deal and see what other people have done to save money and make their spaces look bigger. Those are our two main concerns in this project. When I was looking for some space-expanding ideas, I saw some info on Sears cabinet refacing. After I looked through it a little bit I decided that we should use Sears when we decide to actually start to renovate our kitchen. But first things first, we're going to focus on our dining room. I already have a favorite paint color picked … [Read more...]

How many of you are ready for Summer? As I sit here I am freezing my behind off. It's mostly my hands, I need me some gloves I can wear while I type. That would rock! Things in my life are still way crazy, I am hoping to find out more about the situation within the next week. Please pray for good news, not sure how much more bad news I can handle. I wish I was here in Michigan for more of the Summer last year, because I know Summer back in Tennessee is going to be blah. I been a part of those Summers for many years, and well yea! I am not looking for the storms though, my family all think the storms in Michigan are going to be bad this Summer because of the winter. I went and bought my daughter some snow pants, and well she didn't get to wear them to play in the snow. I think we got less then 2 feet in total all winter. That is super not normal for Michigan. I know these things because I lived here over 21 years! I am honestly ready to go back to Tennessee though, Michigan … [Read more...]

Now that the new year is in full swing, how many of you have been sticking to those resolutions? Not me! However, every year I try to do at least one body cleanse. Whenever I do a complete cleanse, I feel a lot better through out the day. Many don't know it, but waste will build up and all the toxins are not good for you. Not only does the cleanse help you clean out those bad toxins, it also helps you release all the build-up this allowing you to drop some pounds. The last cleanse my husband did, he dropped almost 30 pounds, and I lost 10. Although I didn't lose as much waste as my husband I still felt so much better. I never use to cleanse my body until my husband showed me all the benefits that came a long with it. Through out the year as we eat processed foods, all the chemicals and such have a hard time removing themselves from our bodies. The build up will cause your body to run sluggish. If you are running sluggish I would recommend you doing a cleanse. I am … [Read more...]

January 4th, and thus far we have gotten less than 6 inches of snow here in Michigan. To top it off we will be hitting the 40's in a few days. I am starting to wonder if I brought the Southern heat with me, I hope this doesn't mean nasty storms this Summer, because I want to hit the beaches. I have to admit, that is one thing I am looking forward to the most is swimming in the lakes. We were only here for about 3 weeks of nice weather, and only got to go to the beach once. I want my daughter to have the fun I had during the Summer months in Michigan. That is one thing I can say, although it is cold as heck during the winter months it is awesome during the summer months. I want to take her to the fairs, and to all the events I got to go to growing up, she can now actually start having fun! What are you looking forward to this Summer? … [Read more...]
