Mother's Day

I had a lovely relaxing Mother's day, thanks to my awesome hubby and sweet little munchkins. Yes, the house is still not quite done and put together as you can tell in the photos, but we are getting there!

Myla and Dustin designed a bouquet and crafted up some beautiful flowers for our dinning room table. The boys bought me a KC shirt and hat and I was so surprised. We are not really big gift giver people and tend to lean towards homemade items or baked goods. So I really felt extra loved that they all thought about the things I might like and made the trek out to actually get them! That is not easy with four kids! Haha.  

I feel very blessed and so grateful to have these precious children in my life. I am very lucky indeed that I have gotten to be a new mommy four times over and I wouldn't change it for the world. I am also so thankful for Dustin and all his hard work that he puts into providing for us so that I can stay home with my kiddos and do what I love doing. Every day is not easy and sometimes it can all be overwhelming, but we are learning as we go. We are really trying to be diligent and make sound choices for our family and as any parent knows...it is tricky! I am trying to let God lead me and my family and feel such peace when I can do just that.

We are really enjoying our house with all the space we now have and are starting to work on little projects here and there. Dustin is actually working on the sub basement right now...it is his new workshop. This fireplace is on my list. There is nothing wrong with it, but I would LOVE to lighten it up and even remove or paint the stone title. We have white doors in the house and lots of wood trim. I think we may be able to pull off painting the fireplace white and then do something different with the surround. Hmmmm. Still thinking. And pinning ideas.

We also need to decorate it somehow. We just put these photo frames up there to get them in a safe place, but the scale is all wrong and our colors clash with the dark fireplace...it is a good dilemma to have though. We haven't had a fireplace until now. I am excited to tackle a fun project...when I can find some time!
