Little Grand Piano

Like my post title for today?

I thought it was pretty cute...and my post today is about a little piano.

Over the break, we got some really lovely gifts and we are so grateful for every single one of them...especially the time spent with many wonderful people. One gift in particular is a big hit with my daughters. Can you guess what that is?

Haha...well, again, like the title says, it's a little piano that my mom bought for the girls. They even have their own little piano book for whenever they want to learn how to play this wonderful instrument.

It was a bit of a concern when we packed out car for the drive back and didn't know if we could fit the piano...that was until my hubby figured out that the legs came off!

It was a tight squeeze with all of the presents from various places and all of the kid things you need when you travel, but we were able to do it thankfully.

I really regret not taking more pictures of the trip, especially taking one of the car after it was packed!

I love hearing our little ones playing banging on the keys. It's joyful noise really and sweet. They love it and my youngest likes to bounce up and down when she hears someone playing the piano. (Oh why do kids grow up so fast?!)

Maybe someday we will actually get a bigger piano, but for now this one will definitely do!

Dining Room Wall Update

Hey there!

Today, I would like to share a small project I recently completed after my family's long Christmas break.

So I have a wall of mirrors in our dining room that we loved, but behind the mirrors, the wall was a little blank.

I knew I wanted to add some wrapping paper (yes, wrapping paper- easy to put on and take off if need be) to that area so it would stand out a little more and I finally did just that.

Would you believe my hubby picked out the dark wrapping paper for this wall??

He did and I think he made a fabulous choice!

As soon as he said, "This will go well with our kitchen counter-tops," I was sold!!! ;)

The silver plate was a gift from my mother-in-law. She gave it to us while we were visiting because she said she would never use it. I was a little hesitant to take it until she said she has had it for 50+ years- which is how long her and my father-in-law have been married.

I knew I couldn't pass it up!

The wrapping paper is so pretty...I love the detail and the color goes well with our home.

The picture below is my FAVORITE!

There's just something about it that I love.

I also used some electrical tape to dress up our buffet table.

That's one of my projects for the week. Stay tuned for more.

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome Back!

Hello, hello!

Happy New Year everyone!

Did you all enjoy your Christmas break?

My family and I had a pretty busy Christmas and New Years visiting 11 places and staying with family and friends.

And YES, you heard that right....we stopped at 11 different places during our 2 week stay. It was pretty crazy but there really wasn't much of a dull moment. Our daughters had a good time visiting with family and my husband and I's college friends. Our youngest wasn't a fan of all of our drive time and she was VERY happy to be home once the big trip was over. Our oldest was great on the long car rides. She is potty trained and we were a little nervous we would have some accidents along the way, but she surprised us and didn't have any! That was a big Hooray!

In other news, I have some neat projects to share this week and will give you a sneak peek of what's to come.

Also, I have decided to not blog everyday (if you haven't already noticed) because it was just becoming too much and I really want to cherish these moments with my husband and two daughters. So I have decided to blog 2 to 3 times a week and hope you will still follow along. :)

Here is a sneak peek of one of my projects that I will share in more detail later this week.

Stay tuned and I hope everyone has a great start to their week!

Thanks or stopping by!
