You know your a mom when...

Your sweet 5 year old comes and sits on your lap because she is not feeling well.. So you just love on her and hold her tight... Then it happens.....

She vomits all over you and all you can do is hold her tighter and start to run to the bathroom praying that none of it gets on your NEW hard wood floors....

I know priorities right? Well it worked... Floors saved, me not so much...

We showered and dressed and headed to the store for some 7up.. Me holding the 3 year old and the 5 year old holding a plastic bag close to her face just in case...

Tragedy was avoided! YEAH ME!!

BUT...

The school called.... the 8 year old is not doing to hot...

So off I went to get him... He was sitting and bent over a trash can...

Me, I had an ice cream bucket this time... Man, they come in handy...

I sure hope tomorrow is better..

Hope your day has been better than mine... Have a great week.....

Chatting with my bestie + ReStore = ?

What happens when you visit the Habitat for Humanity ReStore? Well, in my case you end up with this.... A five gallon bucket of paint.... In the perfect color ( I wanted a blue/grey) that you and your bestie were just talking about in the car on the way to the ReStore.... But, check out the price...
Your eyes are not deceiving you it does say $20... YEAH!!! And it was....

Practically full..... SCORE!! Just saved me like $100... Lovin it!!! Doin my little happy dance now..... :O)
So what does it lead to.... A whole master bed room make over.... :O) And, no it does not take 5 gallons to paint my bedroom.. I have plans for the left over paint.... :O)


So the paint went up and I am lovin it even more... I knew I wanted to do something unexpected in this room but what? I saw a post on the Jones Design Company blog that I just loved about painted wallpaper... So I had to do it..


I down loaded the same pattern she used and went to town... It does take quite a while to trace but the out come it worth it...


I know it is hard to see the pattern on the wall but trust me it is there...
Next, came the painting over the pattern... This went pretty fast...


If you notice in the bottom left corner I still have a very small section to do still... Will be getting to that as soon as I get this post finished... :O) I decided I only wanted to do one wall... The focal wall...


Here is the quarterfoil pattern up close... Don't judge if it is not perfect... I am liking it...
Remember the post I did about our new farmhouse bed? Check it out here if you do not remember... Well, I got the primer on and left it like that since we were moving... So now as soon as the weather cooperates I will be finishing up the paint on it and placing it against my new favorite wall... :O)
My bestie is helping make my NEW bed skirt.. I can hardly wait for this room to be done... So fun.. I have always seemed to leave my bedroom for last.. Why do I do that? Well not anymore... It will be the first one totally completed since moving back... YEAH ME!!! :O)
So stay tuned for the revealing of my New and Improved master bedroom (even though it is the same size as the others... Shhhhh don't tell anyone that...)
As always have a great rest of the week and a super weekend... As for me and my house... We have my oldest son's last football game and a Birthday party for my daughter.... She turned 5... Where has the time gone?





P.S. linking to my favorite parties listed on my sidebar.. Check them out... We have some very talented ladies out there....
