internet free days...

Jason and I have decided to cut our computer use down by a ton. We set a goal for 3 days to not use the internet until Hunter goes to bed for the night. Today was day 1. We did great, we had an awesome day and got a ton done! I will admit I missed facebook... but this will be a good change. After the 3 days Jas and I are going to reevaluate. I'm thinking we should continue on like this, maybe adding in computer time during Hunter's naps. But this will most def be a good thing for all of us!

So check out some of what I did today!

7:30 am... I was painting babyfood jars! Jason thinks I'm nuts!

I got my inspiration for this project from Val, check out her AWESOME blog
www.collectingthemoments.blogspot.com
she rocks!






Decorated these cutting boards (which I don't actually use for food)


Sealed them.









made cherry italian ice



picked lilacs..

Practiced taking headshots



Jason, Hunter and I went to amvets and got some great deals. I got a bunch of picture frames, a really funky vase and curtains for Jason's music room, my art room and the upstairs hallway. We also scored on this The Original Rollercoaster by Anatex for only 4 bucks! Got all of that for $23 :)


It was a great day!
I'm SO happy to be home, it doesn't even feel like I was in PA yesterday. 

My house is clean, my baby happily sleeping

the last few days..






The last few days I have been working around the house. I rehung the pictures going up the stairway. They look so much better. I still have a few more to hang and then I need to pick out pictures to print for the frames. 
I also hung pictures in Jason's music room, he loves them! 








I started to paint the kitchen stools and after painting them all one coat I've decided I'm going to spray paint them a country red. I think they will look real good. 



Fisher-Price Precious Planet Potty, Froggy FriendHunter is still using the potty! Last night my mom came over for dinner.
Then we went to target to get a different potty. We got this fisher price froggy potty.
This one was recommended by a bunch of mom's I know. The one we had was not very user friendly. So hopefully Hunter will transition to this one easily.


Kan Jam Official Game Set
Then we went and got jason birthday present. I hope he's going to like it. I'm pretty sure he will and it will give us a game to play when we have friends over. Kan Jam Official Game Set we have played it a few different times and he always spends a lot of time playing it and has a lot of fun so I figured this would be  good present!

another productive morning!

It's 9 am! And I'm already making progress in our kitchen. It seems like every day I'm working on finishing this kitchen. I must admit the decorating is fun!



This is the gift that Suzy gave me yesterday! I love it!! It's a liver and white english springer, just like our lilly pup! 


I hung this really funky cork board in that annoying spot above our stove, along with the caffe latte sign. Thanks so much to auntie arlene for these cool gifts! I don't know what my house would look like without her! 





Now on to my baby who wants to play!
