<br />
When we put an offer on our house it was a double loan short sale. It 6 months to hear back about wether or not the house would be ours. During that time my mind was busily thinking of ways to make our home functional. I wanted a place for EVERYTHING including our shoes that always seemed to be strewn about. These baskets at <a href="http://www.target.com/p/smith-hawken-entryway-collection/-/A-15091154">Target</a> were one of the very first things I bought for our new home.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also wanted a place where we could sit and put our shoes off and on. One of our friends from church has a little farm close by and had a bunch of wood that had been just laying out in his field for years and years and said we could come get a few pieces. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with that wood.<br />
<br />
The legs on this bench are called hairpin legs. There are many sites online where you can purchase these and they even sell them on etsy. I got mine at a store in downtown Portland, Oregon called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheReclaimory">The Reclaimory</a>. They were $15 each. <br />
<br />
I am loving this bench and these shoe baskets in our home. The only thing I am sad about is that for the first year we lived here we just had the baskets and no bench...I miss throwing shoes from upstairs down into the baskets and every time I made it I would say to myself "still got it." :)<br />

My husband used a wire brush going with the grain over the entire piece of wood; the wire brush gets rid of any big splinters while keeping the aged look of the wood. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then we used a cloth and rubbed this Natural Danish Oil on the wood to stain, seal, & protect it. The natural finish was awesome because it really kept the aged look of our wood.<br />
<br />
*You do not have to use an old piece of wood for this project. Before we found our wood I had just gone to home depot and looked at different sizes that would have worked as well. <br />
<br />
The hairpin legs are easy to attach with an electric drill and some screws.<br />

Cut out your front of the pillow fabric. I always just set my pillow right on the fabric and make sure the pillow barely fits onto it. You want your pillow to fit in there nice and snuggly! The pillow looks so much better that way.</div>

We moved from the city to the country a little over a year ago. When we first moved in I was really motivated to make this new place amazing :) After not too long we realized that there would be a little baby in our future by way of adoption. All of the work it takes to get ready to adopt as well as the cost put a damper on all of my decorating excitement.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The other day I thought "You know what it doesn't take much money to decorate and this will be a fun challenge for me to get this place looking awesome on budget." So my first project was this sign! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The wall in our family room was missing something. So I put this together. It's a spay painted frame Goodwill for $3.99 and a sign I made for about $5. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

You will need a sponge brush and paint. I sometimes use fabric paint for these projects but only when it will be used on something that will be washed. In this case any type of paint will do.<br />

Mix your desired color. I wanted a very dark grey. So I chose black and white together.<br />

<br />
Make sure your brush doesn't have too much paint on it and hold your sponge straight up while painting. When you paint you are doing more of a dabbing motion. <br />
<br />
Your #1 goal with this is to not let the paint bleed under your wax paper.<br />

I think it's best to wait until your paint is mostly dry to remove the wax paper but I always get too excited and can never wait.<br />

Adoption has become huge part of my heart. We have had the incredible experience of seeing God lead us to our son. We had the privilege to get to know our Birth Mom and Dad. We have some of the most tender and special memories with them in the hospital and are truly amazed at their strength and sacrifice. Jayce is very much loved by both of his families. Adoption is many things and it encompasses every single emotion that is possible to feel...but mostly it is just <span style="font-size: large;">so beautiful.</span> <br />

Add a pillow for comfort and you have yourself a perfect little spot for rocking.<br />

<br />
<br />
Here is how I did it:<br />
<br />
I found this chair on craigslist. It has to be a 100 years old. Handmade and super sturdy.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I had originally planned on painting the whole chair in the mint color but the color of the wood was SO BEAUTIFUL I couldn't cover it all up.<br />
<br />
I used a paint from Lowes(olympic-sweetpea). <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
So I just picked a nice halfway spot and taped it off with painters tape.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I just used one of my craft sponges and did a light coat and let it dry and then repeated until the color seemed dark enough. I even realized later that I didn't even prime it. I had a box fan blowing on it the entire time which really helped with the drying.<br />

I decided it was time to recover my pillows. I figured out the <span style="font-size: x-large;">easiest</span> no fuss way to do it and after you make one it will really only take you 10 minutes or less to whip one up. </div>

I have honestly been WAITING forever to share <span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><a href="http://cameracoats.bigcartel.com/">Camera Coats</a></span> with you guys.</div>

Years ago, while waiting in the It's A Small World line at Disneyland, my <a href="http://ashbyfamilyblog.blogspot.com/">Sister-in-law Emily</a> told me about this idea she had. I told her it WOULD BE BIG! </div>

A couple of years ago she sent me one of the very first ones she made and I COULD NOT have lived without it.</div>

I recently got a new camera (because my other one was stolen along with my camera coat) and I did not have a Camera Coat for it, so my camera just sat on the shelf until my Camera Coat arrived in the mail!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">Honestly one of my all time favorite products hands down! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's the perfect way to <span style="font-size: large;">protect</span> your camera without the bulk of a big camera bag.</div>

Look what an amazing job she has done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are <a href="http://cameracoats.bigcartel.com/product/new-sweet-mustard-flowerettes">these</a> not just so cute!? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There is a perfect little clip that you can attach to your camera so you don't lose it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(The first model she sent me did not have the clip. I found myself chasing after my camera coat after the tide at the Oregon coast swept it right up off the ground.)</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For those of you not familiar with their website here is the gist of what they do:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Every morning at 7am they post an amazing deal on a craft supply.</div><div style="text-align: center;">They have limited supplies of the item and sell it until it is gone or until the time is up.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It almost always sells out. </div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I was so excited when they contacted me because I am a daily reader. </div><div style="text-align: center;">A couple of weeks ago I even made my first purchase from PYP.</div><div style="text-align: center;">All six colors of bakers twin. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I needed them :)</div><div style="text-align: center;">All six.</div><br />

I have been wanting to go shorter for awhile, but just haven't been able to muster up the courage. <br />
<br />
It was a stressful drive through downtown Portland to meet up with my husband so we could tag team with the kids. After struggling to find him, find a place to park, and running the streets of downtown so I wouldn't be late; I sat down in that salon chair, looked at myself in the mirror red faced and disheveled, and in that moment I finally found the courage..."cut it....just cut it." I said.<br />
<br />
My stylist could tell that this was a rash last minute decision and tried to talk me out of it. But I held strong.<br />

<br />
I am still so sad to say that my Nikon D40 that I have had for the past 4 years, and taken thousands upon thousands of pictures on, turned up missing the beginning of January. I spend hours searching every single part of my house for it. I am thinking that it may have gotten stolen out of my car, as the last place I remember seeing it was in the front seat. It was a good camera to me, I packed that thing around everywhere.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had some Christmas money that needed to be spent :) so I ordered a Canon Ti2 this time. I am getting to know it and oh the adventures we will have together!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We blessed Charlotte in December. I had not really had a chance on her blessing day to get any good pictures of her or her dress. So yesterday Lucy and I worked together to make it happen.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I had struggled with a design for Charlotte's dress! I thought about it for months and months. I didn't know what I wanted, I just knew this amazing little girl needed something so beautiful.</div><br />

</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">But the kids and I wanted to say hello. We are once again making Valentine Jars for the people we <span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">love </span>and <span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">appreciate</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We kept them so<span style="font-size: large;"> fun </span>and <span style="font-size: large;">simple </span>this year so that the kids could make them themselves! </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We just save jam and sauce jars and then take a trip to the store and pick out all kinds of little goodies to put inside.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We fill the jars with candy, punch circles out of card stock, and tie them on with ribbon or this year we used <span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">bakers twine.</span></div><br />

</div><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">the last six weeks since we have had charlotte have absolutely flown by.<br />
i think it is because everyday<span style="font-size: large;"> i run around like a crazy</span> woman juggling a new baby, homeschooling and being a mom to trey and lucy, being a wife, managing the house, and just plain keeping up with life.<br />
<br />
there has been something that has been on my mind amidst all of this craziness that i wanted to share:<br />
<br />
when i am out and about with three kids, i often get friends and strangers making comments asking me how i am <span style="font-size: large;">doing it all</span>, and saying silly things like how i must just be <span style="font-size: large;">super mom</span>...or they start to compare them selves and say things like "when i had a baby i didn't leave the house for months and was such a mess" and so on. <br />
<br />
when i get a comment like this, i think to my self "<span style="font-size: large;">oh my gosh </span>what i have done wrong to make this person think i am anything special?" don't they know that i feel crazy sometimes...don't they know that i have cried every night since this baby was born...and my fridge hasn't been cleaned out in a month...and i found a back pack full of my daughters belongings the other day and when i asked her why she had packed her clothes it was because she had run away and i didn't even know!!??<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-size: large;">me, super mom??? ha!</span></div><br />
<br />
<br />
let me just tell you about our trip to the pumpkin patch will help me further explain my lameness:)<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">charlotte was only 2 weeks old i took these kids on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. </div>the field trip was through the kids homeschool co-op. we had gone the year before and had a blast. <br />
<br />
i had tried my very best to be on time, but despite all my efforts, i ended up getting out the door about 15 minutes late <span style="font-size: large;">and</span> the field trip started out with a train ride.<br />
<br />
me being just <span style="font-size: large;">2 weeks post baby</span>, i was very emotional. i was so worried we would get there and the train of kids would have already left. i was feeling like <span style="font-size: large;">such a loser</span> because i knew the kids would be so disappointed if they didn't get to go. i may have shed a couple of tears on the car ride there. ridiculous i know.<br />
<br />
when we pulled up, it was just in time to see the train full of kids already loaded from the parking lot. i had two choices....leave and pretend i had forgotten about the field trip when the trip leader later asked me why we didn't show up...or make a run for the train and make a fool of myself in front of a trainload of people. <br />
<br />
i had no shame...i told the kids to run like crazy to the train, i would get the baby and be right behind them, and maybe the conductor would see them and not leave before we got on.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">it worked, and though it was pretty embarrassing running with a baby while 40 people sat on a train watching us try to catch it, the kids and i ended up having a great time!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">so anytime you start to think i am something special...just think to yourself "hey isn't the girl who cried on the way to the pumpkin patch...oh and didn't her daughter pack a backpack full of clothes and run away and she didn't realize it till days later."</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
