New Laundry Room!

This weekend, my parents not only came for a visit, but also came to work! They brought our new washer and dryer that we bought in Greenville. We happened to find a great deal on them there. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

Dad working hard on installing the new washer - boy was it heavy!

Before. It was very cramped and hard to do laundry in such a tight space.

After!! I love them! They work great, and our clothes smell fresher! Everything is so organized and easy to use now.

Before.

After.

I hung some fabric to cover up the water heater, and also store the vacuum.

See - there it is.

Craft Project

For a while now, I've been wanting a place to keep our mail and keys, plus a dry erase board for lists in the kitchen. So instead of spending money on something already made, I thought I would try and make something out of things around the house!

Mission: To create organization out of this pile of junk! Although, I'm going to miss that little message on the dry erase board. Mark had that waiting for me when we got back from our honeymoon to the apartment in New York. So cute!

This storage box came in handy. Instead of taking up space in the closet, it's now being used as the mail holder. I just cut the top off, and painted it.

I painted all of the frames black, painted the inside of the box blue, and attached a scrapbooking embellishment on the front that says "mail".

Ta-Da! A FREE organization station for our kitchen!

Sarah's Baby Shower

This past weekend I traveled to Greenwood for Sarah's baby shower. It was at Swayze's house, and she was kind enough to let me and Shelby stay there for the weekend!

Meredith put together this super cute diaper cake! I loved it!

Me and Sarah, looking cute and pregnant!

Hannah was trying hard to be a lap dog - I think she was a little jealous of Shelby sitting in my lap all weekend!
