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.
 
Hallway
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...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...

Christmas Decorations

I am so behind on my blog, once again. I have so much to write about......Thanksgiving, the Turkey Trot, the Granny Walk, Marcifest, the LSU/HOG game, etc.  It was all wonderful! I don't want to leave all of that out.  I'll go back and catch up or at least I think I will.  One thing I learned way back in the day when I was scrapbooking was that if I got behind to just start where I was instead of backtracking. Otherwise, it was just too overwhelming. So, I'm starting with right now and right now, I'm decorating for Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas...the music, the atmosphere, and most especially, the celebration of Christ's birth. I got a pretty swag for my door and wanted garland to match. I have a wonderful friend, Hope, who is an incredibly talented decorator and she volunteered to make the garland for me.  We went shopping together and she knew exactly what to buy and came to my house and put it all together.  She did a great job! I love my door!!...
