LIFE LATELY

We've been so busy recently that I haven't had any time to really sit down and write a post.  So, here is a recap of the last couple of months in photos. If you want to stay more connected with us, find us on instagram HERE.

Spring is here!  Check out these beautiful flowers in our front yard! I think they were in bloom for a whopping two weeks but I'm so glad I captured these photos in time!


We celebrated Easter in Eugene with my side of the family.


We've done a lot of hiking around town, up Pilot Butte numerous times and along the Deschutes River Trail.


We love our Friday night date nights and I love that hubby tries to get me to like beer.  I have lost count how many samples I've consumed.  Maybe someday my pallet will change.  :)


My parents came to visit for the weekend and we hiked Smith Rock.


Jesse's Dad got remarried at McMenamin's Old Francis School!


My parents came to visit and went to the Sister's Rodeo.  We met after the rodeo for dinner and dessert in the park.

We had our 6th year wedding anniversary on June 20th.  We ate dinner at the Blacksmith (first time for both of us) and the food was delicious and so flavorful.  We'll definitely be back for sure!

In another blog post, I'm going to share with you how hubby and I met.


We celebrated Father's Day at McMenamin's with Jesse's dad and his new wife.

 A bridal shower and a bachelorette party!

 Another June wedding, and in 95+ degree weather!  Thank the Lord for clouds during the ceremony!


And of course we couldn't leave out the dog!  Here is a collage of recent indoor photos I've snapped of Hannah.
Happy Sunday all!  Have a great week!

DRESSER TURNED TV STAND MAKEOVER

Tonight, I am so excited to share with you what hubby has been working on for the last few months in his spare time.  Let me preface by saying that we've had our TV hanging on the wall above our fire place since we purchased it about a year ago.  And though I liked it there and it fit well, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind.  You see, while the TV is on and you're sitting on the sofa curled up in a warm blanket drinking hot tea, you can't have the gas fireplace running.  Not only do I use the TV for viewing movies and television shows, but I listen to a lot of music through it.  I love our fireplace but would love it more if I could use it!  So to solve that problem I was on a mission to find a nice TV stand. After searching online and finding a lot of great furniture options, I realized I didn't really want to spend any money.  We had a dresser gifted to my husband years ago that we were planning on selling or donating but I really wanted to find a new u

DIY HOMEMADE MOD PODGE

We all know how expensive Mod Podge is at the craft store, right?  And since there are so many projects which use it, I thought I could find a homemade version  online .  Love  pinterest !  This is seriously the easiest DIY project I have ever done. Supplies: A Jar (I rescued an empty Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip Jar YUMMM which was on its way out to be recycled) Elmer's White Glue (I used two 4 fl oz bottles) Water Before I made the Mod Podge, I washed out the jar and spray painted the lid silver.  I also took off the label from the jar and did my best to get rid of all of the adhesive (first tried a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, but it didn't work and then I tried olive oil and it worked like a charm). Instructions: Empty glue into jar Fill the empty glue bottle with water and pour into the new jar with the glue  (Ideally, you want 50% glue and 50% water) Shake, Shake, SHAKE the jar That's it!  You have made homemade mod pod

DIY BOOKCASE REVEAL

This has been a long time coming.  Mostly because I have been putting it on the back burner for, oh, 6+ months?  Hubby actually built it back in November/December-ish and it has taken me this long to finish painting.  Oh well. My thought for the office was to have something light in color and a little modern and I found the Expidit bookcase from IKEA online. via I liked the design but thought maybe having a back behind the shelving would be good.  Hubby said he would build it for me so I gladly let him!  I didn't take too many photos because hubby isn't a fan of being in photos.  Here is what I have, so take a look! This was my bookshelf for the longest time.  You can see that most shelves are painted except the very bottom and the right side of the bookcase. See how hubby added a trim on all of the horizontal pieces?  It gives it a bit of character and I really like it! So, after using the bookcase for a bit, I thought it nee
