Phase one bathroom renovation

As I mentioned way back when... We lost a bathroom when we moved to our current house. We were at 3.5 baths and now are at 2.5. Pretty crazy considering we gained TWO kids. Ha! But, if you read my novel (http://ohhhsweetcaroline.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-new-casa.html?m=0).  on our reasons for moving/picking this house... You know why. Which is why we are also thinking of adding a bath at some point, but for now we are working with what we have. 

Which is... A very small full bathroom upstairs. Not that we will be here when the kids are big, but three kids sharing this space?! You can quickly see why a third bath may be a good investment. 

Anyways, for now.... We just did a few inexpensive upgrades to this bath and I used stuff I already had for the accessories/shower curtain etc.

Beautiful, right?! ;-)

A can of paint and some new hardware went a long way in making this bathroom more presentable. We got new lighting, towel bars, and knobs for the cabinet.  Eventually we will get a new top for the vanity and a new faucet to match the other brushed nickel hardware. We will also paint the vanity, a fresh coat should help... Just haven't had time yet! 

I need a different mirror, I just have this one propped up for now, but it's obviously too big. And then I want to get some frames for the wall across from the toilet and frame some bath time pics of the kiddos:-)

Making progress over here, one day at a time!

Nothing even close to spectacular, but it's a kids bath in a home we don't want to invest much money in, so I think it serves it's purpose!

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
