Yep, that's right a room redo! It all started with a chair that she didn't want to get rid of but didn't have the time or place for it in its current state. She gave it to me reluctantly and this is how it all started. <br />

Her living room was a dark chocolate brown with amazing hard wood floors but you would never be able to see it in there because it was so DARK! Here are the before shots...<br />

We are all runners and needed a place to keep our medals/bibs besides a box in the office, so this is what we came up with....<br />
<br />
Started with 5 primed MDF boards. Miss Julie Sifford got our 5th plaque<br />

I love this little face with eyes bigger than your head! You are so full of energy, smiles and now unfortunately a two year old attitude but who could blame you, you have a lot of ground to cover with those two older sisters. You and Avery are the best of friends and Audrey loves to mother you which can be a little annoying to you at times (me too) but they both adore you and fight for your affection. You are talking like crazy, 30-50 words and putting 2-3 word sentences together. Things that you love... Babies; real ones, baby dolls anything baby, your blanket must go everywhere with this, movies in the car and swimming!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Started two years ago taking pictures of Marc and I with the birthday girl alone, love this tradition.

Because of this I needed to decrapification and while I was at it, maybe a face lift... because that's what you do, right? Here is what I started with, forgot to take a pic with the shelves full but you can see the clutter on the top half.<br />

Btw, check her out before she's famous. Book release summer 2020 :)<br />
<br />
Okay here it goes....<br />
1. What is one thing you would change about your physical appearance if you could?<br />
The new scar that has planted itself on my large forehead :(<br />
<br />
2. Where was your first date with your significant other?<br />
Julie Siffords wedding :) <br />
<br />
3. What job do you see yourself doing in 10 years?<br />
Mothering all 4 of my wonderful children, running marathons with Cori and TRACI! Maybe a business of some sort? <br />
<br />
4. What is your favorite dessert of all time?<br />
I'm not really a dessert person, I love salty things but if I had to choose one sweet it would probably be ice cream.<br />
<br />
5. How long have you been blogging, and why did you start? :)<br />
A month, Cori and Traci made me :)..I have always loved reading blogs and finally got the nerve to start one with the help of friends.<br />
<br />
6. What is the biggest obstacle you have faced in life so far?<br />
The untimely death of my dad. 8 yrs ago March. My dad was killed in a work related accident at the young age of 48. Dealing with that over the last 8 years has been an emotional one for myself and my marriage. I would have never been able to pick myself up again with out Marc and the girls!<br />
<br />
7. What is your favorite room in your house?<br />
Usually the one I am currently working on but overall the girls playroom.<br />
<br />
8. Do you follow politics closely?<br />
Yes. We love our Democrats in this house<br />
<br />
9. Do you like Scentsy? Which scent? (I have recently become a Scentsy nut. I don't sell it, I just adore the products.)<br />
I don't have a scentsy but I do have the walmart version :) I like anything that smells clean. We have had two episodes of an accidentaly dumping so we are sticking to the plug ins for a while.<br />
<br />
10. Name one thing you wish you could change about your high school years?<br />
Reached out to others that where not in my circle of friends, absolutely NO boyfriends, you have a lifetime to hang out with boys (husbands), friends are so important!<br />
<br />
11. Name one splurge you would not want to live without.<br />

<br />
We (me forcing them) have all agreed to a monthly craft day at my house and this month we made coffee filter wreaths. They are everywhere on pinterest and blogs and have wanted to make on for so long. This is so easy and CHEAP, supplies are a round wreath form, a package or two (depending on the fullness) of coffee filters and a glue gun. I completed mine before we have to get little kids at school but the other girls ran out of filters so I would say 2 hrs from start to finish. <br />
<br />
Thanks again Trac, Cori, Kim and Steph for letting me fulfill my inner craft leader :) <br />
<br />

Of course she couldn't wait to show Marc either and when he read it he said "did your mom cry", they know me so well. I needed that card, lately I have been so hard on myself about my short comings as a mom, some days are just so hard! I am constantly learning from them, thank God they show me love, forgiveness and grace even when I don't deserve it. Thank you Audrey<br />

Traci and I swam laps tonight at the Y and after our workout we let the kids swim. Avery is my ear tube baby who for the last 4 yrs has refused to put her ears in the water, even in the bath tub. But not anymore...we took the kids to the Great Wolfe Lodge last month and she put her face in, then her ears and before the weekend was over she was prone floating. She's come a long way...swim team next year, hopefully! BTW, please excuse the loud voice ugh it was so loud in there.<br />

Audrey is in her first year of team Level 3, she competed last year on Level 2 which they only competed against other gymnast in our gym. However, this year we have competed in Lenexa and Riverside with 40-60 other area gymnast. Audrey has taken 3rd all around and two 1st all around and she loves it. She is so much like Marc when it comes to competition, she is so nervous but when she arrives at the gym all is gone and she's got her game face on!! She is so poised and methodical about every move, I love watching her. She excels on the Bars and Beam. <br />

The hubby loves to give his opinion on what he would like to see in the house but in the end I can usually sell my idea :) <br />
I of course didn't take any before pictures (rookie blogger mistake) but I did find some photos that will give you an idea on the huge improvement. The living room, entry way and dining room are all open and connected so I needed a color that would flow through all of them and I am in love! Not to mention good bye to the ugly red leather and hello to the fresh, clean look of my new IKEA living room set. <br />

So finally 3 years later and a threat from Cori "that I could not nap until I made a post".... here I am world!<br />
<br />
I know those closest to me will be so relieved to hear that I can now stop stalking them every time I find something new to refinish, a new room to paint or my lastest DIY project to please stop by when you're out so I can "show" you my newest project. I am obsessed with anything to do with decorating and am excited to document the forever changes I have going on in my home, I hope you will enjoy the ride too. <br />
<br />
But, my main motivation for blogging is to document all the ups and downs so when I'm gone my girls will have a reminder of all the fun and love we had in our family.... not that I plan on dying anytime soon but that's how my mind works. Now that we have three blessings, poor Mia's baby book SUCKS! <br />
<br />
Traci and Cori thanks for the constant nagging (in a loving way) for me to take the first step. More to come....Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00331831969906829201noreply@blogger.com0
