Enough Tears...Back to Home Remodeling!

You didn't think I forgot about the Kitchen Remodel, did you? Psh, OF COURSE not!! I was simply sidetracked by being on the emotional roller coaster of watching my biggest baby graduate from high school.

That's all.

Back to the remodel.

T minus 7 days and we will be tearing into this project! We've got the appliances ordered, a bazillion ideas swimming in our heads, and a crazy plan of flying by the seat of our pants with "relocating" during the project. I mean, do we REALLY need a plan? Can't we just be all "Oh, okay, we don't have stairs and there's a big gaping hole between our living area and our bedrooms...let's just sleep downstairs."? That's my kind of plan.

I've discovered that the best laid plans are only subject to changing...so why have a plan?

SPONTANEITY AT ITS FINEST.

I am the queen of "flying by the seat of your pants". I should've majored in "crunch time decisions" in college. 

Anyway...things are moving along!

We've had a new flooring contender enter into the project...tell me what you think:

Asian Blonde Walnut, aka "Blonde Acacia". I am IN LOVE with the swirls and the light and the dark and the rustic look of it. I totally think we're gonna go for it...but I'm a little worried it's going to be too dark. Thoughts? Our cabinets are going to be a medium-dark stain, so I don't want the floor to be too dark.

The counters will be light.

Oh dear heavens. I can NOT WAIT until I get to see my kitchen all finished!! I mean, I CAN wait...cuz when it's done, we'll be over 1/2 way through summer vacation and I am NOT ready for that!! But I am super excited for my new kitchen!!

Speaking of summer vacay...today is my first "official" day of summer break! Yay!!!! Guess what I get to do?

Get ready for Pal's grad party on Saturday.

Plan. All. The things!!! Yeesh. Wish me luck!

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte...
