Hello Yellow! :)

Y'all, I put these pictures on here on June 9th (it's June 27th) and saved the post. Well, I totally forgot to write on it and publish it. Anyway, I've got a lot to catch up on as it's almost been a month (AGAIN) since I've updated.  I just got back from our "sister" trip to Lincoln, NE to hear Beth Moore speak at Living Proof Live. It was WONDERFUL!! I'll hopefully do a post on it but I don't even trust myself when I say I'm going to update anymore. Anyway, here is our yellow paint.  It was a gray taupy color and it just wasn't me.  This yellow IS me!!! Next, maybe I'll do the kitchen. OVERWHELMING but we spend so much time in there and the color of the cabinets and the wallpaper on the walls just aren't me.  So, here are the before and afters of the paint.

Why oh why have I not had that 70's Brady Bunch light fixture replaced in our hallway? That was going to be the first thing done to the house when we bought it four years ago!! I even bought a light fixture to replace it.  It is still sitting in it's box in the basement. I have GOT to call an electrician and get that done. It's such an eyesore but it's been there so long that I don't even notice it anymore which is probably why it's still hanging.

Also, can't wait to replace the gray carpet on the stairs with wood.  One day. :)

SO glad that hunter green is gone. I moved the little round mirror to another place after seeing this picture. It was just a little too small for that space.
I need to replace the light fixtures in the upstairs hallway, too. I had them replaced in our closet that no one sees but not in the upstairs hallway that everyone sees. Go figure.
Happy Monday, y'all!!!

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Bye Bye 80's kitchen!!

Well, my kitchen is mostly finished!! It's completely painted!! I am so excited to have a brighter updated kitchen.  It just feels completely different.  I'm not completely finished but here's what I've got for now.   The cabinet color is Benjamin Moore Linen White and the walls are Benjamin Moore clay beige. I'm so glad to see the florescent oak square light gone!! I replaced it with chandeliers I got at a flea market!! :) We also hired an electrician to put more canned lighting in because after the florescent square was gone, we needed more lighting. I painted 48 cabinets and drawers and the body of the cabinets (don't know what the official name for that is) and was so burned out by the time I finished the island that my sweet husband suggested we hire a painter to paint the rest for me! I am SOOOO glad he did!!!!  See the faith, truth, love window frame beside the pantry door? Well, my super talented sister-in-law, Sabrin...

Mar and I didn't go to church this morning. :( We hate to miss. We woke up about 8:30, talked a little bit, prayed a little bit and then the next thing we know, it's 10:30!!! We must have really needed the sleep. We leave for church at 10:40 so there was no way we were going to make it. It felt wonderful to sleep in, though. We can alway watch the service on the Internet. After Rosie got home from church, we went and picked her up and took her to Wendy's to eat (we all really wanted Franke's but it was packed...at 1:45!) and then we headed to Party City where I got plates for Bunco (it's at my house on Thursday) and then we went to Garden Ridge and got a fake plant and a chair (for $99). The chair we were going to get was WAY more than that and a lot prettier but the one at Garden Ridge did the job fine and with no guilt for spending too much money on a beautiful chair. It is SO MUCH FUN to shop with Rosie...SO MUCH FUN!!! I hate to shop without her because she make...
