Where Have I Been? and Some News...

There is nothing like packing up and escaping to where the sand is powdery white and the water a perfect shade of blue...

Ahem, especially when your own town is in the midst of a terrible, record breaking drought!  Our youngest was so overjoyed to see water in such large quantities that at first he just sat in it for a good five minutes, laughing with glee. That's what a drought will do to ya folks! 

Ah yes, it is good to get away every now and then to a place by the sea...

Sandcastle competitions bring out the kid in all of us....

Note to self:  must plan out every homeschool year from now on while relaxing on a beach somewhere :).

On the home front I have exciting news; our kitchen remodel will be starting soon! We are planning to tackle it ourselves and I look forward to sharing the process with all of you. At the moment I am totally digging  the farmhouse sink with butcher block counter top combo....

 House and Home

We have decided to reuse as much of the current cabinetry as we can so it will be a challenge!  As always The Lettered Cottage is a great source of inspiration. Have you seen what they did to their kitchen?  Fabulous! Love the idea of adding molding to bulk up plain cabinets. 

My computer has yet to arrive from the repair co. so I apologize for the infrequent posting and commenting. The good news is that it should be here some time next week, just in time to share regular updates of our kitchen saga with all of you.J
