Home and Family Friday

As I was browsing through the posts last week, the table redo from Living A Creative Bliss caught my eye. 

I love this because it really hit home.  A few years ago my hubby and I started shopping for a new kitchen set.  The more we looked, the more we realized what a waste of money we were considering.  Our table was perfectly fine, just a little dated.  With a lot of hard work, sanding, painting, and staining, we LOVE our set.  This kitchen table set by Living a Creative Bliss, turned out beautifully!
Onto Home and Family Friday!  I can’t wait to see what you have for us this week.  We love to see recipes, crafts, room makeovers, or all sorts of things you’ve done at home or with your family.

I absolutely love this idea, to Make a Memory Jar.  Kids Activity Blog could be my new favorite place to visit.  I’ve always been a collector of “treasures” like shells, sand, rocks, and other really important things.  My husband loves the fact that I store most of these treasures in bins in the garage.  My daughter seems to be the ultimate collector as well.  She started getting tired on the last hike we went on.  Pretty soon, we noticed that her coat was looking very heavy.  She had been collecting pretty rocks and saving them in her pockets!

What I Wore and Home and Family Friday

I just realized that I posted all about my road out of the depths of fever, infection, and doctor visits, but I didn’t share any pictures.  I figured I’d better show you something from my week of rest.  So, I started thinking about all of the cute outfits that I pin on Pinterest. That lead to thoughts of people who post “what I wore Wednesday” pictures.  You know, those cute skinny girls who take a picture of their outfits in the mirror and tell us where they bought everything.
So, here’s a picture of an outfit I pinned on Pinterest.  I don’t actually own anything like this, but I’d love to!

And here’s another cute ensemble.  Don’t you love the way they even include the fluffy Starbuck’s drink?

I thought I’d show you (Pinterest style) what I wore all week.  Day after day.  So here it is!
Yep, that’s my basic long sleeve white t-shirt.  I believe they are from the Land’s End department of Sears.  The yoga pants are the Tek Gear brand from Khol’s.  The slippers in the picture are actually Uggs.  Mine are just the Costco knock-offs.  Oh, and don’t forget the accessories.  The outfit wouldn’t be complete without the water bottle and heating pad.  Ya know, just thought you’d like a glimpse into my life last week.  Feel free to pin that outfit onto your My Style Pinterest board, friends!
We’re ready for Home and Family Friday.  I hope you’ve been crafty this week because I haven’t.  Link up a project you’ve been doing around your home or with your family. I’d love it if you’d grab my button and become a follower.

One of my favorite things about hosting a linky party is featuring a talented and crafty blogger.  I know how excited I was, the first time I was featured on a blog!

Here we are, Thursday night, ready for a feature and I’m out of energy.  Teaching all day, and Open House in the evening, have me wiped out.  There’s always next week, or maybe Saturday.

Link up!  We’d love to see what you’re working on this week!  We love recipes, crafts, makeovers, furniture redo’s, or anything you’ve been doing around your home or with your family.  I’d love it if you’d grab my button and become a follower.  Don’t forget to check out my Facebook page too.
