Update on Potato Hutch
Some of you may remember my cute cute $3 find at a yard sale this past year. I finally broke down and posted it on Craig's list for $15 and it SOLD! Woo Hoo!
A Little Miracle Baby
One of my friend's wife went into pre-mature labor at 26 weeks. Their little cutie pie of a boy, Liam, was born healthy and is now getting use to his new life outside of his mama. It's so scarey to think of having a baby at 26 weeks! He was smaller than a barbie doll when his was born, but has a strong will to survive. I can only imagine what "mama and daddy" are going through. Their entire experience brings flash backs of Tyler's time in the hospital. While Baby Liam is doing well he still has a ways to go before he can go home. Please keep him in your prayers! The family just started this blog to keep everyone updated.

Blogging+Me=Pathetic
Yes, I know, you agree. 100% I am absolutely horrible at this blogging thing. The only reason I'm blogging right now is because potatoes take FOREVER to cook (yes, I diced them so they cook faster). I'm experimenting with potatoes, onions, peppers, and some eggs...we'll see how it turns out.
On another note, baby #3 is on it's way. I'm 17 weeks and doing really well. This pregnancy is SO much easier on me than my previous two. God has worked wonders on my body this time around! We do not know what we are having and I believe we are going to wait until the little "corn muffin" is born to find out. It's so exciting!
Well, do excuse me, my potatoes are smelling pretty good and I have a feeling they are needing a good stir. Take care.

Up to My Neck
So I'm up to my neck in projects. A few completed here and there, but nothing extravegant. I completed 3 jewlery frames using door knobs, fabric and empty frames. They turned out quite lovely, but besides that I'm still busting my butt trying to finish my mom's cabinets in her kitchen! They are turning out quite well, but are tougher than I originally thought. They've been stained and then painted 2 times prior to myself, so it's a LOT of sanding to ensure smoothness. I can't wait until the finished project, they are going to be fabulous!
The family has a nasty cold travelling from person to person. It started with Tyler (who is STILL coughing), has moved to myself and is now starting to infect my poor husbands lungs. Hopefully it will vanish altogether soon.
Camping this weekend with the neighbors should be a blast! We are going to my favorite place in Colorado--Telluride and Ouray. Randy is diligently working on his truck to make sure it's in tip-top-shape and can endure the 4x4 trails. I believe we are going to attempt Yankee Boy Basin and maybe Imogene. The views will be delightful!
Sorry for the short and picture-less update. I do hope to start updating more often than not. Take care and God bless.

way too long
It has been way too long...I know. And I'm sorry.
I've been watching 3 adorable little kiddos since last March and my creative time has been reduced drastically! This weekend I did get a few things done, that I've been wanting to complete.
1. My Roman blinds now have a liner hiding the back side of them--so my husband has stopped complaining about their "ghetto" look.
2. I went yardsaling and found some AWESOME deals. An old mirror=$1, a butcher top rolling island=$7, a sweet chalk board=.25, pillows for my couch=$1, and some sweet crates that I'm using as book shelves!
3. I've started refurbishing my parents cabinets! Yes, the dark ugly cabinets are going to a nice white glaze. Mom and Dad have been so wonderful to Randy and I this spring and I wanted to give back to them, so this is my next HUGE project that I'm taking on.
4. I'm on the hunt for some "French" inspired fabric....white and dark brown or white and black theme. Until I find the fabric, I don't want to work anymore on my new favorate chair. Yes, it's pink for now, but not for long!
There are SO many other things going on, but they are not quite finished/started. Depending on how you look at it.
Keira is now 6 years old, crazy about Mickey Mouse, and in first grade! My little girl is REALLY growing up quickly. My 5th project will probably be her room. I may change it one of these fall weekends to Mickey Mouse as a suprise for her.
Tyler is attending preschool 4 times a week for free. Sometimes, I love our government! He's receiving 3 therapies through the Child Find program. This also gives me one day a week of alone time for about 3 hours!
Besides that, I'm looking into P90X. I just finished the Insanity work out and need something new to grab my attention and keep my body in shape.
I hope this quick update finds everyone well. God bless!

Potato Cabinet/Mini Island
My mom found a small potato cabinet at a yard sale for $3.00. It was pretty rough when we brought it home, but I took on the challenge! After I cleaned it up, sanded it down, repainted and touched up the brass colored hardward with my good ol' hammered spray paint, it turned out rather nice...don't you think?
(Sorry I didn't post an original picture, it's MIA.)

Deepest Apologies
I do need to apologize that I have not been updating my site. With the summer days we are enjoying the outdoors. :) I'm sure you understand. The name of my blog is "inspired by nature" after all!
We went camping at Eleven Mile Canyon State Park 2 weekends ago for the first time. It was a blast! The children had so much fun and Randy and I were able to get away for a couple of hours for a long beautiful hike.
This last weekend we stayed home and spent time with family and friends. Sunday was a hit with our neighbor's, Rachel and Jason, coming over with their 4 children for some good food, good company, and a good movie. We attempted fireworks, but were rained out during the last few minutes. The kids had fun and that's all that counts!
I was updating my blog during nap times, but have started a new work out program called "Insanity". It's the most intense program I have ever tried. I'm loving every bit of it. This week will be my 3rd week! I'm pumped to look ripped for our trip back to Indiana!
I do hope this blog finds you in good company and having a great summer! Remember to enjoy the sun while you can, fall and winter will be here before we know it!
