Long over due...but here it is......

So, I have gotten requests to post pictures of our new rental home so here it goes. In a random order, welcome to our home.

 This is the front deck/only deck we have. Yesterday I went shopping and brought our new patio chairs, Andy's grill (notice I mention it as Andy's grill! I love summer no cooking for this mama!) and Noah's new basketball hoop.

 Noah is so eager to water anything I will let him, we started out in the decorative pond and moved onto the sidewalk.

 We also put down new mulch yesterday in the front. The old mulch was very sparse and made the front of the house look very run down.

 Andy putting the grill together. He was wondering why I didn't buy a pre-assembled one. hahaha, have fun honey.

 Our living room with our fish tank that we won on auction for only $25 with all the accessories.  This is Andy's pride and joy! His TV. Something that he said was a necessary purchase when we moved in.This is the view out of my kitchen window. My neighbor's have a beautiful backyard garden.

 The kitchen/ dining area.

 This is my pride and joy in our home, my built in wine rack!

 Noah's safari haven. I brought this trunk for Noah at a garage sale for only $5 and it is the best toy chest we have ever had.

 Our bedroom room.

 Complete with a built in vanity.

 So that is a quick run through of our house. I hope you enjoyed the preview. Stop for a visit anytime. Though I must warn you that it probably won't look this nice since I had to ask Noah several times to pick up his toys before I could take the pics. LOL. Have a great day and a wonderful Fourth of July weekend everyone! ~Danielle

Mary Kay

So a few months ago I started a Mary Kay business. I love Mary Kay! I have used the products since I was about 16 and love it love it love! Oh did I say how much I LOVE MK!


So since our move to our new home, I haven't done much with my business and I feel myself missing my "girl time." I love to get out, meet new people and help them to look and feel great about themselves. That is the best perk of this business, helping women feel like they are important and they matter. I love when after a facial is complete and the women look into their mirrors, the expressions on their faces! For some women this is the first time they ever wore makeup, others this is the first time they had another woman compliment them on how beautiful their eyes are and for others it is a chance to just pamper themselves after another horrible day at work. I love all the chatter that fills the table while we are doing facials and just the giddiness of middle school girls that returns for a brief moment. It makes me feel like the women are back in middle school learning with their girlfriends how to put on makeup for the first time.


I love also knowing that faith is a high priority in my MK business. Mary Kay Ash was a firm believer in Christ and knowing that there is still a company in corporate America that wants Christ to be apart of its everyday activity is an inspiration all in its own. 


So, I am not trying to be a walking advertisement for MK or anything, just simply wanted to share how excited I am that now that the moving is done and life is settling back down, I get a chance to get my "girl time" back! Have a wonderful day everyone and God Bless your day!

Summer Days

Today has been filled with potting flowers at our house. Noah was very helpful, digging up everything as fast I could plant it and needless to say he was potting soil from head to toe today. I would have taken a picture but I seem to have left my camera at my parent's house.

Our fearless little boy has also mastered climbing the fence in the front of the house and thinks he should straddle the top rail like he is riding a horse. This feat would be fine if there was grass on each side to cushion his inevitable fall but one side has rocks and the other side is sidewalk. I am hoping this is a phase he will quickly grow out of...climbing everything and anything and jumping from it. Noah is developing his "hops" skills quiet well and it definitely be very beneficial to his future sports days.

I have been enjoying the heat of summer the last couple of days and am hoping that the beautiful weather is here to stay. I hope everyone is enjoying summer and for all the kiddos who's last day of school was yesterday, I hope you are having a great 1st day of summer vacation!
