brilliant. not my idea. but brilliant. so i scrounged around my house to see what i had that i could make something like this but more my style. hers is nice but a little too nice for me. and i wanted to use what i already have here. spend no money. so this is what i came up with.<br />
<br />
i collect old cutting boards. don't ask me why. i just like the way they look. but sometimes im nervous to actually use them for food. ya know. so i have this old one that i really like. i found some glass knobs to use as feet. then i found some scrapbook paper that i used in place of where she has coasters. <br />

so here it is all finished. Baby's cup sits out on the counter all the time. he uses it off and on all day. so now it at least looks like i meant for it to be there and less messy. my boys are old enough to remember which patterned square they put their cup on. but you could also do letters or numbers or names. make this yours. its fun to see a "pin" come to life. give it a try!<br />

halloween is over. thanksgiving is coming! in our house we don't pass this decorating opportunity. i feel like Thanksgiving gets passed over for Christmas. now don't get me wrong, we love holiday decor just as much as the next family but if we put it out too soon then we are tired of it before Christmas even comes. also it is a great time to remember to be thankful before the craziness of Christmas comes. so here is how we do it.....<br />

5. i think i would like to move to somewhere far away with only the ones i love. we would live off the land. and not care what anyone thought.<br />
6. i think i would miss target and getting tattoos. maybe once and awhile we could come to town.<br />
<br />

7. it bugs me when people are mean. but everyone else thinks they are nice.<br />
8. i have our desk/command center in the living room. maybe that's weird. but it works for us.<br />
9. i wish people didn't act so happy all the time. like they never have a bad day. makes me feel guilty when i have one.<br />
10. there is a Goodwill going to open up very close to my house. this will be dangerous. but i think i will give lots away.<br />
11. my 3rd grader has to read 1000 min a month for an A. are these really his min.? because i feel like they are mine.<br />

12. hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. Proverbs 10:12 this one is hard for me. maybe it is hard for you.<br />
13. in my bible study this morning i read this...when conflicts arise, chose to cover over with love wrongs done to you. this takes humility,but let it go. release it. refuse to dwell on it. hmm.. that's a tough one.<br />
14. Baby sings numbers with his ABC's .<br />
15. he also recites the Pledge of Allegiance all the time. usually in a mean shouting voice. i wonder who he is trying to convince.<br />
16. i hate carving pumpkins. but we do. and i smile.<br />

so. i am only here for a quick moment. my life has always been busy. it is now beyond busy. it started with my sisters wedding. we had it. it was beautiful. football had started for the two big boys. busy schedules and lots of practices. and lots of fun. then football abruptly ended for one of the boys. at SportsBoys first scrimmage of the season, on the 4th play, as quarterback he faked a handoff and began to run toward the goal line. he planted his left foot, cut up to the right and was tackled by two other boys. his femur broke. many agonizing days later and a surgery behind us. he is home. he is safe. on crutches and in a wheelchair. with two rods in his leg. he is doing very well. i have not processed it all. it was terrifying. i am totally concentrated on my family and need to take a blog break. OldestBoy will start middle school on tues. and Baby will start his new preschool on friday. school is still up in the air for SportsBoy. keep us in your prayers.</div>

pillars. can't say that i have ever thought about them. im not much into architecture. it's fine. i can take it or leave it. our house was built in 1969. it was super plain. being the young couple we were when we bought it we just wanted a decent place to live. we have done our share of sprucing up. tore out carpet, put in hard wood floors. took out cabinetry and put in open shelving. built a privacy fence for the backyard and a picket fence for the front. but the bones of the house have stayed the same.</div>
</div>

<div closure_uid_e2ddh5="224">
<div closure_uid_czcoyh="132">
bring in friendly and talented woodworker neighbor/friend Tim. his wife had wanted 2 pillars she thought. after he built them she decided she only wanted one. so they asked us if we wanted a pillar. hmm. i guess im not sure. but i am always willing to save good projects from the burn pile. so i went over and had a look at hers and decided that maybe we also could use a pillar. hers has a lot of molding on it. ours is more simple. more our style. their decor is a little more refined than ours. one free pillar, free trim and leftover paint and i now have myself a bit of architecture. go figure.</div>

i actually quite like it. especially for something i never thought of before. WorkinMan really likes it so that makes me happy. so never be afraid to think outside your box a little bit. for me bright colors are the norm for you pillars might be. you can blend styles very easily if you make the item your own. </div>

i see that blogging is taking a backseat to life. i guess that is natural. i am a busy mama of three boys. three boys that are now all in baseball. heaven help me. we have baseball every night of the week. and some of them overlap. thank goodness for family! we are not used to going somewhere every evening and now we are. such is life. so we have been doing a lot of this....<br />

we have had a few changes around the house. my parents were getting ride of their brown leather sofa. and we decided it would make a good fit for us. now usually i am not a fan of leather. but here was my thinking.... our sofa had seen better days. it was 10+ years old and had been through three boys and a boxer. it was starting to wear. not pretty. so it was in need of a slipcover or we needed something new. that is not happening. not practical to get a new sofa while we have young ones and also not in the non existent budget. and i also figured that if we could squeeze 10 more years out of the leather then it will have served its purpose. and it is starting to grow on me. first, what it needed was some lighter pillows. Ikea to the rescue....</div>

are you a book person or an e-reader type of person? maybe you are not a book person at all. maybe a magazine person. maybe a tv person. i am a book person. i love the feel of a book in my hands. i love the smell of a book. i love the look of stacks of books anywhere and everywhere. i love books. i love the idea that there are many books on our shelves that i have read and many left to discover. <br />

shelves of books make me happy. makes me feel blessed. books can be expensive. may people don't have books. i love to share and give books. a book makes the best gift. my mama recently cleaned out her book collection, to make room for more books i am sure. we are a book family. she gave me 5 large boxes of books and said that if i would take them to the half price book store then i could have the money. bonus. i of course went through them. OldestBoy and SportsBoy went through them. and then i called my book loving neighbor sue (hi sue!) to go through them. she came down, sick even, and left with a paper bag full and a smile! books are happiness. <br />

books bring knowledge. books bring adventure. books bring comfort and peace. books can save you. they can bring you out of that dark place. they can help you see more clearly. if you have a chance, give a book to a child in need. give a book to anyone. you never know how it may help or change them. sometimes it can just be the idea of escaping from regular life for a while. a little bit of relief from the everyday stress. whatever the help, know it was somehow needed. i love books.<br />

yes, you read that correctly. $3. that is all i spent on this redo. i re-used everything i already had. yep, i'm green like that. oh yeah, and on a tight budget. like no budget. i will not even show you what this little room looked like this morning. you might not want to be my friend, it was that bad. picture this: shoes(many), muddy baseball stuff, tupperware(no idea), dirt, lots and lots of dirt, dog dishes,dog food container, random jackets and mittens. everything ends up in this tiny dump all space. this is our main entry as a family. all guests use the front door with the nice entry so we can fool you that we are clean and organized. :) but our family got the crap spot. this mudroom is in our basement so to me it always feels icky and dark. i needed to brighten it up and make it happy, like the rest of our home. ready?......<br />

this is as "before" as i am willing to show. i am all about keeping in real, but honestly. the room has workable tile, oak trim-not my favorite but fine, and builder beige walls. which to me just look like dirty white. yuck. it did have a weird corner bench built in all the way to the left. a few whacks of my hammer later and it is history. oh yeah, WorkinMan is also out of town! hi sweetie! and there is Baby in his mismatched socks, that yes indeed, he did wear to school, helping me paint. <br />

shazam! isn't it amazing what a little paint will do! i went to my local hardware store and got a can of "oops" paint. $3 a quart at my place. it is a robins egg blue color. horrible photos in this dark basement with a cloudy rainy day outside but you get the idea. like i said, everything i already had. the bench was a crib at one point. someone fashioned it into a bench and it has sat in my shed for years with not the right spot for it. now it has a home. the rug is from ikea, few years ago. the mirror is made with old red barn wood. mama gave it to me years ago, and it has hung here but not looked so cute. <br />

the bookcase was mine. gave it to mama. she used it for awhile and now i have it back. she didn't need it anymore and i never pass up a bookshelf. i use them everywhere! this one holds everyday shoes. and in the bins are hats and mittens. it seems like we need them year round here, so ours just stay out. on top are some of my favorite accessories that have been stashed away with no great place to display them. now they also have a home. <br />

hello there friends. lots is going on in life right now. mostly good. life is good. baseball is in full swing for the boys. altho our spring weather is no where to be found. which has made for some very chilly practices thus far. oh well. soon enough i suppose. <br />
<br />
WorkinMan and my 12th anniversary in on easter sunday so we decided to celebrate on saturday instead. we love baseball and went to a Twins game together. it was lovely. chilly but so fun!<br />

sorry to have been a way so long. last week was very busy. last sunday was my sisters first wedding shower. she is getting married in august. so her fiance's parents were in town. it was very nice to see them. then the week was just plain full. WorkinMan back to work, me workin at Baby's school, then a field trip with SportsBoy, and then more family into town. my mama's parents and sister came into town on wed and left on sun. we loved having them but their visit was just too short! my sister, brother, and i hosted a birthday party for my mama on saturday. there were tons of people around to give her love. it was so wonderful! mama starts chemo today and so far it is going very well. keep her in your prayers. i will hopefully be back tomorrow with a list of things that makes me happy!</div>
