Where have I been?!

Things have been busy here.  The Hubster has been studying like crazy for his licensing audit (aka pre-exam).  He not only passed, he killed it.  I am very proud of him.  It has been a long road.  A very long road.  Mostly for him.  But a little for me as well.  You know, long hours for him equal long hours for me.  Unpaid for both of us.  Heh.  


So that has been going on.

We've also had ballet class for Big One and swim lessons for Little One.  Both of them love their activities.

I've been baking quite a bit.  One of my newer ventures is bread.  As in, sandwich bread.  So far I've only done white breads.  But what I figure is is has to be healthier then store bought bread.  No high fructose corn syrup.  No preservatives (thing about how long your bread stays good for folks).  And cheaper.  It is just something I have decided is right for our family.  Not to say I will not buy store bread (mmmm artisan bread from the bakery), as a matter of fact, I picked up hotdog rolls this week because they were super cheap.

I've also been cleaning and decorating our master bedroom.  Why is it that our room is always the last room to be decorated and the last roomed to be cleaned?

Anyway.  We swapped out our linens for ones I bought when I bought my first house.  I got some new lamps and shades for our bedside tables.  Pulled pillows up from our guest room.  Bought a couple of matching framed pictures from a local chain store.  And my favorite.  We bought vinyl letters for above our bed.  We purchased them from this etsy shop.  She did an awesome job working with me, emailing back and forth, until I figured out exactly what I wanted.

So here is a terrible photo.  I need to take one with the camera during the day.


I have a throw coming later this week from Amazon.  I'm just hoping it ends up being the right color.  It is so tough to tell via the computer.  And we've got some walls to decorate.  I keep going back and forth on what I like though.  Work in progress.

But I looooove our room now.  Love.

I'll try not to disappear for so long.  But.... no promises.
