My Motivation...

They are my motivation for everything. My life has revolved around these two since the day they were born. Thank you God for giving me such wonderful blessings.

So, this post is going to be filling in everyone on our infertility journey. We have been trying to get pregnant off and on for about two years. We have been trying with fertility strategies for the last 7 months and we thought for sure we would be pregnant by now. I got pregnant as a teen with Blaze, completely an accident - but a blessing, and Ace was not planned, but very easy to get! After almost eight years of marriage, a new house, and two boys finally out of diapers and in school, our house and hearts are really aching for a new little bundle of joy. I would really appreciate if all my readers prayed for our family today and in the coming weeks as we seek a doctor for our other fertility options. I have endometriosis and there is always a chance that me not getting pregnant is because of a larger problem - which we pray is not the case.

Those of you who want to go that extra step can just leave me some words of encouragement or a simple "I'm praying for you" in the comments section. Thank you and God bless all my readers!

Guest Bedroom Renovation: Part One

The room looking from the master bedroom hallway
I had to share the pictures of this frame.
I got the idea from Kelly's Korner to tell guests where things are located
and to help themselves. I have a drawer full of trial size
soaps and stuff and also a basket full of towels and washcloths.
I want my guests to feel at home or like they are in a luxury hotel :)

I decided to make a seating area. I would like to
get a high end chair or chaise lounge for this area.

The room is so peaceful and has a luxury feel to it.

There are trey ceilings in this room and a chandalier.

I forgot to take a picture of both, but they are the same in my master bedroom.

So, this room is the most "iffy" room in my house (if "iffy" is even a word). I originally saw this formal dining space and thought NURSERY. But, if you want a nursery, you have to have a baby and we don't have one - yet - so we decided the most logical use for this room is a guest bedroom. Since a guest room does not need a closet like another bedroom or nursery would, we thought the best use for the space was a bed, tv stand, side table, and sitting area. I eventually want to move the computer that the boys use in there and possibly their bookshelf. Sometimes I have to put Ace in the guest room so that the boys don't get on each others nerves.

Guest Bathroom Renovations (Before Photos)

I decided to come back and post the before pictures of the powder room because I realized that my readers had never seen it and didn't get the full effect of what a difference a little decor makes. As you can see, the whole room was so drab. I would still like to take the shelf down and paint it black and of course the walls are going to be painted something close to a sand color. It is sunday and I still have plenty of time to post the guest bedroom and more... so stay tuned today!

Show Us Your Life: Sunroom/Play Room

I got a bin for all the sports stuff. I need another bin for toys.
The view out to the pool (wish it was summer!)

The tv stand I got at House Of Hope for $10!

The view of the sunroom from the other side.

It's a huge room with lots of potential.

I just don't know exactly how to put stuff....

More posts later! :)

And here is what the room usually looks like...

Blaze goes out there to practice football and escape from his little brother! ha!!

This is why I hide all writing utensils....
