A little hiatus

Thats what you call it right? When you are gone from something, but find your way back? That is definately what I would classify the past couple of weeks. I can't really tell you what we were doing, but it was stuff I promise! Teagan has been doing a basketball camp on Saturday mornings and Brad has been helping coach.

Once we got past her doing dance moves at half court, she got into actually playing the game.

Not sure if she is helping coach here, but it sure looks like it.

The rest of the time was spent catching up on laundry, getting ready to host Thanksgiving, and just enjoying the fall weather we were having. I did get Teagan's room finished and here it is:

I am very excited about how it turned out and I think Teagan really likes it too! My Grandma (aka my go-to) tied a brown sheet with yarn over her existing blanket. She used the rest of the sheet to lenthen the curtains, which are my favorite part!

This picture is blurry, but I really like this area of the room too.

I made this picture using a frame that I already had. I took left only the glass and added a wall sticker I found at Dollar Tree. I really like when you can see the wall paint behind it. It really helps tie everything together.

I found this at Hobby Lobby awhile ago, but it definately fits Teagan and what I hope she thinks of her room:

I am officially in Christmas mode. I got trees and decorations up today and am trying to finish up shopping. It might make for less posting than usual, but I promise to share any amazing deals and ideas that I find along the way.

Sneak Peak

So I did it! I got Teagan's room painted this weekend. It was now or never so I put it on the calendar and pretty much confined my self to her room for the majority of the day Saturday. Here it is before:

And after:

It isn't a hot pink, which of course was Teagan's first pick, but not mine. This is called "pig pink" and if you can see all the walls it is definately pink. I am super happy with it and it is a great job done. I will give you a couple sneak peaks in a second, but before I do that I am going to share some pics of my own little "sneakers."

While I was redecorating I saw a couple of flashes going past Teagan's window. This is what I saw. Just let me say that if these 2 are working together on something, it probably isn't good. So, I watched them for awhile. It turns out that they were running from one end of our house to the other playing "tag" with our dog. So, this is how it went. Teagan would run ahead and get Wrigley's attention while Tate stood here waiting

and looking pretty dang cute, if I mights say so ! Once Teagan got Wrigley's attention she would ran back to Tate like this:

And then they would both run to the other side of the house and start the whole process over again. Exciting, huh? You know what - I wish life was that simple sometimes!

On to the peaks. I am still waiting to finish the bedspread and curtains, so a whole room picture should come soon, but for now:

A good project checked off the list. Next stop - toyroom!!

Thrifting with a Thrifter

I love when people you hang out with appreciate your love (borderline obsession) for a good deal. I had the chance to do some thrifting with my friend Amy last night and here are some of my finds. Thanks for the non-mom time Amy!!

Can you ever have too many winter decorations? Well, probably, but this can stay up past Christmas so for about $3 it was worth it.

Target has some great clearance on towels right now. Like 75% good. I got both of the for less than $3 total. Definately a good thing because right now I only have I set and they don't get washed near enough. Gross, I know, but hey thats how it is!

The basket will look great in Teagan's room (when it finally gets painted) and it is the perfect size for library books, which we tend to lose frequently! Super excited about it - thank you Goodwill! The Deal of the Day - this shower curtain. I saw the collection on the shelves, but I find it way over priced, so I settled with the fact that I would have to figure out something else. But at the end of the aisle (my favorite place in Target) was this repackaged shower curtain priced at:

yep - $3.61!! Nothing wrong with it except that is was repackaged. I measured Teagan's windows and it will work width wise. I think I will need to add some material at the bottom, but I think I can make curtains for 2 windows for less than $7!! Its like Christmas in my world right now!!!
