Our Bedroom: Ceiling Fan & Paint Color

Our bedroom is slowly but surely coming along! This past weekend my dad came over to help me install the ceiling fan I found on Craigslist, you can read about my recent Craigslist finds here. I was actually worried that the fan would be too big, but it turned out to be a perfect fit for our room. My dad is literally a jack of all trades and he's always willing to help me with all my little projects, which I really appreciate. Thanks Daddy!

I've also recently picked and purchased the paint color for our bedroom! I chose Misty Surf by Olympic (you can find it at Lowes) after coming across the beautiful guest room below at Perfectly Imperfect Blog, isn't it serene?! Hopefully I'll get a chance to paint this weekend.

The Art of Being Busy

Lately I've come to realize that I'm a lot busier then I ever let on to be. Most of you obviously know that I'm a wife and mommy, but what many of you may not know is that I also work full time and go to school. I love blogging, I adore party planning (in moderation) and as a new homeowner I'm discovering that I also have a passion for home improvement. Most of the time I'm able to handle doing all of these things at one time, but there are days and sometimes even weeks where I just want to focus on one thing at a time (I'm feeling this way now). Recently there have been some big changes in our life; hubby got a new job, JD is going to school full time and both hubby and I are attending school, which means our little family is busier than ever. Now that the sun is still out by the time I get home from work and the fact that hubby's new job means he'll be home early and have weekends off, I feel like the last thing I want to do is sit in front of the computer (I do that 8 hours a day, 5 days a week) at home. I still have tons of stuff I want to blog about and I plan on keeping up with every ones blog posts, but I don't plan on blogging every day. I just want to enjoy my little family, our adventures to come and turning our house into a home!

Knott's Berry Farm 2012

For JD's 3rd birthday last week we took him to Knott's Berry Farm for the very first time! We all had a blast and since it was the middle of the week the park wasn't crowded at all. JD was able to ride on his favorite rides more than once and he even got three picture opportunities with Snoopy!
