A LOT to love?

Today we will get look at another piece of land with our contractor. I was reminded how much I'm ready for a home last night as we slept in our trailer while thunderstorms and 45MPH wind gust blew up against us. Yesterday it was 62 out around 11pm and this morning when we got up it was snowing! Which is fun weather but not fun when there are possibilities of tornadoes and you live in a doublewide. We woke up to one of our shutters on the ground, which i'm thankful it was that instead of our fence again!  Either way we are ready to have a home that is ours, and we can feel safer in. Today we will look at a lot that is pretty flat and a little larger than other lots we have looked at in the past. It is also listed at 6 grand less than our last lot.  It is very close to mom and dads neighborhood which is nice. So far we aren't crazy in love with the feel of the neighborhood, but we do love the location. The view would be very nice too. We are looking forward to seeing what our contractor says.

Hunnington

As I sit and write this I am so excited about where we are!  Hunington Beach California! We are staying right on a place called the strand... or strip.... anyway there are lots of shops right across from the shoreline. We went to dinner at a mex restrant and then walked through a couple surf shops I am super excited about a t-shirt garrett and I both got. It's awesome! I'm excited about wearing it tomorrow! However, my favorate part of today was shopping at the Grove... this place is awesome we went in some three story stores! We are talking Victoria Secret, Barns and Noble places like that that are huge! It was so fun we didn't buy anything but I keep saying how much I want to go back : ) FUN DAY!

Grilling in January

Because of a super sweet Aunt we now have a grill! Today was our first day to grill out and it was a gorgeous day to do it!  Garrett made us Bratts (cheese bratts) and I made some mac and cheese it was really fun! We are totally thankful for the grill and are looking forward to trying to cook dads chicken and some more stuff!  

DIY Jewelry Space

Well I found some inspiration on Pinterest on a much better way to hold my Jewelry than I had been previously. So this weekend I decided it just had to change.  Here are the steps I took to make a much prettier and efficient place to pick out my jewelry for the day.

So what we started with... a bunch of necklaces, an empty closet wall, a board, paint, and some cute shower hooks.

I got my hubby to help me measure and drill holes in the top of the board the right size to fit the top of the shower curtain hangers would fit snug. 

I painted the board with a paint tester from The Home Depot. (on sale for 50 cents!) After the paint dried I attached the shower curtain hangers with glue inside the holes in the top of the board. 

Next I taped off the place in the closet in order to paint the space with another 50 cent paint color.

We hung a shelf (when I say we, I mean my hubby mostly did it i just watched) Put it at the bottom of the paint line.

Again the hubby secured my new necklace holder to the wall.

Tada!  Here is the finished product. A very easy way to pick and choose what to wear for the day and just makes me smile when i step in the closet!  Using the cheese grater to hold earrings was also an idea from pinterest check it out here.
