No Spend New Year

Jade plant my mom no longer wanted.  Rusty stool - yard sale $5

It has been a long time since I last blogged.  Over the last year I have found myself losing interest in blogs.  There are a few I always find myself going back to.  These blogs are usually a combination of decorating, recipes, DIYs, crafts, frugal living, a Christian perspective, and also some personal stuff so you get to know the person behind the blog.  

The Ever-Changing Family Room

Here is our family room as it currently looks.  

This is a truly versatile room.  

It is easy and inexpensive to change 

with the holidays or seasons,

 and yes, 

I am that girl. 

 The one who changes 

with the holidays and the seasons.

Spring/Summer

Quieting the Living Room for the Warmer Months

Spring was in the air.  

The faux fur pillows and knit throws were packed away for the cooler months which seemed so far away.  Today we are back to winter weather here in New Hampshire.  Northern NH is getting snow, we are hoping for a cold rain further south.  Since I can't work in the yard, I thought I would show you our living room lightened up for the spring and summer months.  

The New Puppy and the Shark Steam Mop from Walmart

Just say "aw" now.

Isn't she just the cutest thing ever?

This is Rey (my kids are big movie fans).

She is Harley Quinn's new BFF, 

and unlike Harley, this one is Trouble with a capital T.

Sneak Peek at Our Rustic Christmas Home 2015

Welcome to a little sneak peek into our 

~Christmas Home 2015~

It's a little bit country
And it's a little rustic rock n' roll
It's a little bit of cottage and farmhouse
With a little bit of Sweden in its soul
I don't know if it's good or bad
But I know I love it so...

Thanksgiving 2015

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving early.  Our daughter Megan is in the Air Force and would not be home for Thanksgiving for the 2nd year in a row.  We were blessed to have her home a couple of weeks before, so we had our Thanksgiving then.  She left that afternoon with a full belly!
