Hey there, friends.<br />
<br />
How's life?? I have no good excuse for being MIA the last few months. But that's the beauty of blogging just for the fun of it -- I get to make the rules!<br />
<br />
I thought I'd drop by with a little update on what we've been up to lately ... which hasn't really been anything exciting. The last 3 months have been pretty low key. But somehow, the unexciting things in life tend to be my favorites. I <b><i>love </i></b>relaxing days at home with my boys. Those are the days that I remember most vividly. Special events and holidays fly by far too chaotically, but a random lazy Saturday is when memories are made.<br />

Brian is working like a mad man lately. He leaves early, works late, and travels a bit. Often when he is home, he is on his computer after the boys are in bed. It's hard to shoulder so much of the responsibility at home and to hear the boys say that they miss their Daddy. But we do our best, he does his best to be available when he can, and more than anything we know that this too shall pass.<br />

The boys are like their Mommy and don't love being outside in the cold weather unless there is fun snow to play with. So we spent many of the cold winter months snuggling and playing inside. I'm savoring these days at home with them, as I know how quickly time passes. Before I know it, my babies will be in school all day long.<br />

Legos are HUGE in our house. All five of us love to sit down and build a kit, and the boys (not me!) love to create their own things as well. We spent a few cold days in January building Legos at the dining room table and I loved every.single.minute.of.it. Pajamas all day, pizza for dinner, and Legos. What could be better?<br />

We started lifting weights as a family this winter (read: Brian makes me do it and the kids love to join in). I don't mind it, because it makes Brian happy. Mr. Beckett LOVES to lift weights. He asks to go downstairs all the time. We will usually stop what we're doing and go downstairs with Beckett for 5 minutes because it makes him so happy. And what's better to have after exercising than homemade cinnamon rolls? Nothing. Nothing is better than that.<br />

Parenting with Brian has forced me to relax. A LOT. The latest Daddy activity is called "Daddy Diving Board", where Brian curls up on Brennan's bed and the boys jump off of his back onto Beckett & Kiernan's bed. Amazingly, we've had very few booboos. Yet. <br />

With all the odd weather we had in March, we were outside riding scooters even with snow on the ground. And then a couple weeks later we were at the park without coats. That's Michigan weather!<br />

While Brian has been traveling over the last 3 weeks, the boys and I have tried to stay busy. A few weekends ago we took an impromptu trip to see my sister and her boyfriend. The 1.5 hour trip was well worth all of the fun we had walking to play at the park, having a cookout, and playing soccer.<br />

I so feel bad for Brian when he's in a work crunch and unable to see the boys much. They are growing in both size and personality so quickly. I think this is part of the reason that I take so many photos of them. I find myself pulling Bri into the office in the wee hours of the night to show him photos of what we've done lately because I hate that he has to miss it.<br />

Our Easter was so much fun. The boys loved every part of it -- egg dyeing, Easter baskets, Easter "feasts", and even church. They're finally the age that they can start to comprehend the fun parts of Easter and the <b><i>real</i></b> reason for Easter. </div>

I guess it stems from several reasons.<br />

First? Life. The Holidays are always an overwhelming season for me. Not in a bad way, but I find myself feeling the pressure to get things done and wanting spend all kinds of quality time with my boys. <br />

Second ... the kitchen! We started and finished remodeling the kitchen in about a month. That is a very very fast kitchen remodel, my friends. We decided to refinance our home, and that led to the decision that if we put a little money into the kitchen, we would get a bit of a bump on our appraisal. The kitchen remodel was a giant time suck, but so, so, so worth it. We are over-the-moon about it. I'll share photos soon!<br />
<br />

And third, I fell into a big fat funk with photography. We're talkin' falling off the Project 365 wagon. <b><i>Hard</i></b>. It could be my camera, or my lenses, or just me. But for some reason, I'm just feeling uninspired and not loving anything I shoot. So I kinda just stopped shooting. And editing. My sister got her first DSLR for Christmas, and after helping her learn a few things, I started to re-read the manual for my camera. I'm not feeling all that inspired yet, but I am trying to embrace the re-set. <br />

This week, I'm going to get some semblance of a Project 365 update together and get the kitchen photographed.

Who's ready for some eye candy? I finally pulled it together and cleaned up well-enough to snap some photos of the finished fireplace! Well, it's not completely finished. I still need to caulk some seams, but it looks done enough for now. And here it is!<br />
<br />

Isn't she lovely? Before I show you any more, let's take a walk down memory lane. This is what the house looked like when we signed our offer papers. Peach. Green marble. Shiny fake yellow brass. But that light! We knew it had potential. <br />

Phase 1 was getting rid of that peach paint and ripping out the carpet. It was brand new and pretty when we moved in, but the dogs trashed it very, very quickly. <br />

Phase 2 ... we have a new laminate floor! And curtains! Those two things alone were a huge improvement, but when I pulled out the fireplace insert to paint over the brass, and then painted over the green marble, the room sky-rocketed out of 1990s and into 2015. The mirror removal was an interesting process, and made me happy that we were planking above the fireplace instead of trying to perfectly repair all of that drywall.<br />

I took measurements and meshed them with the vision I had stored in my brain in order to draw up the plans. Brian made a few adjustments that would make the build more practical for himself along the way.<br />

Brian worked so hard on this project. I am kinda picky about things being just how I planned, and was such a trooper throughout the process. For example, the mantel. I wanted it to look like a beam from the front and sides, and he did a beautiful job! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I think Brian would say that his hardest task was running all of the wires behind the walls and through the fireplace surround. I think I'm going to paint this old nightstand from Brian's Grandma that will house the electronics. It needs a hole cut in the back so that we can actually put the electronics inside, but that'll happen eventually. </div>

Speaking of things that will happen eventually, we still have some caulking and paint touch-ups to do, but I can live with those for now. Especially because when you stand back, you notice nothing but the beauty of the overall situation. </div>

Having the TV mounted on the wall frees up some floor space. Seating arrangements in this room can sometimes feel tunnel-ish, but with the fireplace finished, the TV above it, and the couch and chairs facing each other, it feels like a cozy place to gather. </div>

So, let's start small. We've been really busy with projects around the house. The fireplace is done! And it's stunning. The bad news is that I don't have photos. Our TV died, and Brian hung an old TV in it's place, so we have wires and cords running everywhere. I'm going to try to make it pretty enough to take photos so that I can share some with you. </div>

For now, you'll have to settle for some teasers. Check.Out.That.Mantel. Are you drooling? You should be. I had so much fun throwing some pretty fall decorations on that guy for the first time. It increased the cozy factor in the Family Room by one million. </div>

Do you decorate for fall? With all of the renovations and just the busy factor of the fall, I took a few minutes last weekend to get out my box of 'fall-ish' stuff and spread it out a bit. I'm not big on 'cutesy' decorations. I mean, I like them, but I tend to lean toward fall decor that's a bit more neutral and subtle, yet big on texture. Old books, rocks, textured pumpkins, wicker, pine cones, soup crocks ... they're all favorites of mine! Honestly, I would keep this kind of decor year round. It just kinda speaks to me. </div>

I love how easy it is to add 'fall' to a room. Adding a cute gold pumpkin and an acorn bundle to the candle, lamp, and slate coasters that live on this end table pumps up the cozy factor a bit. Now that the boys are a little older, I'm not afraid of putting decorations at low heights. Of course, I choose things like foam pumpkins and disposable candle jars to put within reach. Nothing too crazy!</div>

Sometimes bringing fall inside is as easy as plopping down a pumpkin and adding some baby's breath to a jar. Boom. Done. Also? As referenced by not one, but 2 of the photos in this post, lampshades in my home are never ever ever straight. Ever. It's just a way of emphasizing the fact that our lives are perfectly imperfect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
And sometimes that perfectly imperfect factor is emphasized when I get lazy so I throw a bunch of crap on a shelf and call it a day. Because why not? Home should be comfortable, cozy, and easy. Is it the prettiest little vignette ever? Nope. But it's fall-ish and it works. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
So that's how we're celebrating fall in our home. That, and keeping sick boys comfortable. As much as I love fall, it inevitably brings sickness. Blegh. Stay healthy, friends!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know that I've been blabbing on and on and on for weeks (maybe months?) about being in a rut. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm still deep, deep in that rut. It's painful. I'm so uninspired by the photos that I actually do manage to take, that I just avoid editing. Hence the reason I'm posting this several weeks late. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soooooo, in order to deal with my 'blergh' attitude, I ordered a new camera! It should be here by the end of the week, and I told myself that I would catch up on editing by the time it gets here. Weeeee!</div>

Adjusting to our new school schedule is tough. We're cramming in all of our annual and semi-annual doctor appointments. (Why do I schedule those in the fall??) It's football season, so Saturdays are spent. (GO BLUE!!) It's fall soccer season, so Saturday mornings are a rat race. We're finishing up outdoor projects and starting indoor ones. You know .... life!! </div>

I still get lots of compliments on it, along with questions about how it's holding up, so I thought I'd write an update and share some photos. <br />

<span style="text-align: left;">As I said in the original post, this bathroom gets a lot of foot traffic, so I was originally a bit worried about wear and tear. But I could not be more pleased with the condition of the countertop and sink. It honestly looks just as good as it did on the day we finished! </span></div>

There is not a single scratch or spot of peeling paint on the entire countertop and sink. The only "flaw" is a small, very faint orange circle from water sitting under the orange candle jar. I tried to photograph it, but it was too faint to capture. I've been too chicken to try scrubbing it with a Magic Eraser or anything like that, as I'd rather live with a barely noticeable ring than mess up the smooth finish! <br />

On the topic of cleaning, I use a gentle bathroom cleaner, like Seventh Generation, for weekly cleaning. But with 3 little boys, Clorox wipes also get used on the regular. I was worried at first that Clorox wipes might be too harsh, but a couple each week for the last year have been just fine!<br />

The faucet is still in perfect condition. I was a little worried about the candles being hard to keep clean, but they're very easy to wipe up. The fact that the C is sideways when the faucet is off drives me a little batty, but that is at the very bottom of Brian's to-do list.<br />

In the above photo, you can see a little part where I couldn't get rid of the texture of the roller in the paint. It's the only spot on the counter that isn't smooth, it's only noticeable from a certain angle, and it's been that way since the beginning, so it doesn't bother me! Also, let's talk about the fact that we ran out of soap and only had ugly bottles left, so I decided to leave it out of the photos. Fear not, we do, in fact, keep soap in the bathroom!</div>

Are you thinking of painting your integral sink and countertop? I have a few words of wisdom for you! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, I definitely recommend it for sinks and counters, but I would be hesitant to do a shower or tub. Most of the negative reviews of Rustoleum Tub & Tile paint that I've seen are from people who have painted tubs or showers. I'm just not sure if the paint is designed to withstand the amount of water in a tub or shower. We tried something similar in the boys' bathroom shower, but that is a completely different post for another day! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Second, I cannot stress this enough ... <i style="font-weight: bold;">follow the directions!! </i>I get it, they seem insanely redundant. But I have to believe that they're there for a reason. We sanded and Comet-ed and Lime-Away-ed til our heads were about to explode. Here we are though, one year later with a fantastic looking countertop, so the work paid off!</div>

I'm <i style="font-weight: bold;">super insanely happy </i>that we undertook this project. The entire look of the bathroom, and makes it not only livable, but actually <i><b>enjoyable</b></i> until we have the cash flow to do a bigger remodel! </div>

Wow, it's been awhile, huh? Life has been really, really busy the last few weeks! When the end of summer and the beginning of school collide, chaos ensues. At least it's the good kind of chaos!<br />

A few weeks ago, while vacationing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Brian and I headed to Marquette to do some hiking with my sister Michelle and her boyfriend Andrew. Last summer, we hiked nearby <a href="http://www.co.marquette.mi.us/departments/planning/sugarloaf_mountain.php#.Vdx0evlVhBc" target="_blank">Sugarloaf Mountain</a>. The views from the top were beautiful, and while the climb wasn't exactly a walk in the park, there were stairs to climb and wide paths to travel. <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year, when Andrew suggested hiking <a href="http://www.travelmarquettemichigan.com/so-you-want-to-climb-hogback/" target="_blank">Hogsback Mountain</a>, my sister was skeptical. She suggested that Brian and Andrew hike the mountain while she and I hike something a little more manageable. She's hiked it before and thought it was kinda brutal ... and she knows that she's in way better shape than I am! The boys were insistent that we join them though, so I suggested that we give it a try. The boys would go their pace, Michelle and I would go at my pace, and we'd see how close we could get to the top!</div>

<br />
We took occasional breaks, and I took that time to snap some photos of the beautiful surroundings. The way the light came through the trees was gorgeous. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The paths are sandy in some places, with lots of stones and tree roots scattered throughout. It's funny to see Brian and Andrew just float across all of the obstacles, while I struggle not to trip on anything. I'm definitely not as graceful at these things!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih95o87Sn4iTztzR0QfXa48zKWuKUJmBbH1A-1347yk0YY2JbVKjf98A80xU6V5ourH-k9CsUC3RlAn0dsZj0C9a2cSWpe1FFQ-yR0Aa2bJXbA_Qonh9FRh1ti3vj7n2FyUokxaDTBm3o/s1600/DSC_4838.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hiking Hogback Mountain - Marquette Michigan" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih95o87Sn4iTztzR0QfXa48zKWuKUJmBbH1A-1347yk0YY2JbVKjf98A80xU6V5ourH-k9CsUC3RlAn0dsZj0C9a2cSWpe1FFQ-yR0Aa2bJXbA_Qonh9FRh1ti3vj7n2FyUokxaDTBm3o/s1600/DSC_4838.jpg" title="Hiking Hogsback Mountain - Marquette Michigan" /></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, the sandy trails eventually gave way to pure rock. While it was actually easier to climb up the rock than some of the sandy paths, all I kept thinking was ... how in the world am I going to get back down??</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then the rock became smoother and more vertical and my focus was back on the 'getting up' part. Holy steep. I am not a rock climber, but I managed!</div>

It was a pretty cool feeling to make it to the top. Brian jumped down to grab the camera so that he could take photos of me reaching the top. To say that he was excited that I tried, and succeeded, was an understatement. </div>

The views from the top are a breathtaking mix of blues and greens for as far as the eye can see. There were even some fall colors peeking through at the top of the mountain.<br />

When it was time to climb back down the mountain, I did a lot of sitting and scooting like a toddler learning to navigate the stairs. Ha! But hey, I made it!<br />

Do you see those people sitting on the top of the mountain? Brian snapped this when we were just a small way down the mountain. I think it's the last spot where you can actually see people before continuing the hike down. </div>

If you ever get the chance to hike Hogsback, I <b><i>highly </i></b>recommend it. It was hard, but so worth it. <br />

Do you have a favorite cookie? Mine is oatmeal reaisin. I'm kinda weird and really don't care for chocolate chip cookies ... I'll pass 'em up anyday for a nice oatmeal cookie. I'll even pass 'em altogether if there isn't something else available. My husband thinks I'm straight crazy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, I don't discriminate between oatmeal cookies ... I'll eat any one that comes my way. But my very fave is a nice buttery cookie. Most oatmeal cookies have at least a little bit of cinnamon, and I'll gladly take that kind off your hands, but my true love is a nice buttery cookie. </div>

This recipe comes from my parents' neighbor. She's been blessing us with them for years, and eventually my sister was able to snag the recipe out of her. And because these are my very favorite cookies in the history of ever, I thought I'd share it with you. (Pssssst, Kathy ... if this is some secret family recipe, let me know so that I can take it down ;) )</div>

Alright, who's ready to make some cookies? We start with gathering the goods - flour, sugar, brown sugar, quick oats, baking powder, salt, raisins, shortening, vanilla, and eggs. Once you have everything gathered, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. </div>

Add 1 cup of brown sugar (Brown splenda works too!) and 1 cup regular sugar to your bowl. Top it off with a cup of shortening; I use butter flavored shortening to get that buttery taste to the cookies. </div>

I usually prefer my cookies a little underdone, but I really like these with a little crunch on the outside and chewy on the inside. So, so good. <br />

Do you have a cookie recipe that reminds you of childhood? You know, the one that your Mom made on the regular; that just smells like <i>home</i>? For me, it's Chocolate Chocolate Chip cookies. I loved them as a kid, and I love making them for my boys. Actually, they are so easy to make that it's one of my favorite things to make <i>with </i>my boys!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A box of Devil's Food cake mix (or really any dark chocolate cake)</div>

First step, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Now onto the good stuff.... dump roughly half of the bag of cake mix into a bowl. I take my hand and squeeze the bag of mix in half. Yep, fancy. </div>

Now, grab the rest of your cake mix and slowly mix it into the batter. It'll get thicker, so you'll probably have to taste it again. It's all about quality control. </div>

When my Mom used to make the original recipe, the cookies often came out a bit flat. So over the year she learned that a couple of tablespoons of flour helped fluff them up a bit. When you add the flour, add your chips! I had jumbo on hand, so I dumped in a handful or 2. </div>

Give 'em a good mix and plop 'em a few inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. I REALLY love my Pampered Chef cookie scoop! Pop 'em in the oven for 10-12 minutes. </div>

I used my Airbake sheets because they're prettier than my other ones, but I wouldn't recommend doing so. Classic "Do as I say, not as I do". I have a love/hate relationship with Airbake. Sometimes I just don't like the texture of cookies baked on them.<br />

When they're done, they'll still be a bit soft in the middle. Like, you'll almost think that they aren't done. Trust me, take them out! Then let them sit on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before removing them to a baking rack to cool. </div>

They usually aren't quite so fluffy, which I prefer. But the Airbakes did something weird. I prefer them a tiny bit flatter, but they were still fudgy and delish. <br />

The inside is dense, but not too heavy. The boys call them "Brownie Cookies", and they definitely remind me of brownies as well. This is probably why I like them so much! Gather up your kiddos and whip up a batch. I promise you won't regret it. And if you do, let me know how it goes!<br />

I tried to do a few different things with my camera this week. The moon was too beautiful not to photograph, so I decided to give it my all. It took lots of tweaking and I wasn't really even sure I'd nailed the shot until I got it onto the computer. So pretty! I'll be interested to see how it prints!</div>
