Moving (backyard, dance room, bonus room)

So,we finally put our house on the market after thinking about it for a year...and it sold 13 days later. I sure wasn't expecting that! The new owners move in June 2nd so I have A LOT of work to do! I wanted to take pictures of all my rooms before we leave though so here are a few of them.
Wish the grass was greener for the picture. It's greener now. The realtor took this. 
I love this room because it's happy! It was never used though. I'll miss seeing the striped rug and polka dots. Molly is going to take the bed. She's coming to get it this week.
I wanted to paint this room but didn't ever get around to it in the 7 years we were in the house! Lol! I was too busy working on the downstairs. 
This was Macy's little chair she brought home from college. It's over in the cover with Sabrina's painting from the book she illustrated. 
This is the realtor's picture.
And here's what we call the dance room. This room has best redone twice since we lived here. The first time I just took down wallpaper and repainted and the second, Lamar took out the closet and phone booth (yes, there used to be a phone booth upstairs) and made it into this dance room. He heard me say through the years how fun it would be to just have a room to dance in so he made me one. I've got the sweetest husband in the world! 


Gotta sell the treadmill and bike or put them in storage! 
Realtor's picture. 
(Realtor's picture.)Our backyard. I'm really going to miss this yard A LOT! It's always 10 degrees cooler in my backyard because it's so shady.
I love my hanging laterns. My sister just told me you can get a latern stake so I can bring my laterns! Yay! 
My sweet Charlie Bear!
These next few are all realtor pictures.


Our side yard looks a little shabby bc we have new grass growth from so many trees falling from the Christmas ice storm in 2012. Now the sun shines through that area and grass grows. 

That's all for now. I'll put the rest of the rooms on before we go. I don't want to forget my house.

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!!...
