My latest project!


Everyone has a "catch all" space in their house right!? Well I'm not exception! However, my catch all space happens to have been the butler's pantry where amongst the 50 year old rotting floor and wood paneling you could find an old floor freezer, complete bathroom sink (that never made it's way upstairs), car parts, tools, recyclables, paper, extra chairs, AND JUNK!

Well one of my waves of inspiration HITS ME and I find myself tearing everything out of this disgusting, old, completely useless room when I decided that I could turn this into my OFFICE! WOOT WOOT

I am so super excited I had done almost everything by myself, including, putting in the new floor and tiles! Jeff helped rewire the room and had Shanendowa's help painting! As of today everything is complete and I'm showing off my new office!


Looking in from the Kitchen. It's a small room but I'm glad to be putting it to some good use :)


The computer desk takes up much of the room but unfortunately it is a necessity in an office!


Isn't it funny the stuff you can find in your house that you forgot you even had! Like all of these shelves; Oh and the mirror! Which completely opens the room!


The floor I am quite proud of. I did this all by myself including fixing the worn out spots in the sub-floor before putting down all those sticky tiles :)


KID ART completes my new office! These are some pieces Annabel had done in 1st grade XD TOO CUTE!

My little swimmers


It's been a working progress. Year after year we go to Scriba Town Park and swim in their pool and every year my kids are getting better and better! We are in the 8 ft section of the pool and this is us smiling up at Jeff :)



This video is PROOF that Annabel can swim! She's gotten so grown up! She could do this last year but she had a confidence issue! She's worked out the bugs I think ;) Check out my big girl!



Nathan lacks the confidence but not the ability as you can see. In this video he is swimming to me as I am swimming away, lol, he starts to whine however he continues forward and makes it safely to the ladder.




My kids have grown up sooo much! Next year Annabel won't need me at all in the pool and Nathan will be sooo close :)
