Before Our House was a House

This is house house before it was a house. It use to be a daycare. It had one bedroom with no closet (boys room), two bathrooms one with the laundry area in it (what we are converting into our master closet), then the main living space, living room, dining room, and kitchen. So we have completed nearly all the construction. We've built walls, textured walls, painted walls and baseboards. We've built custom closets, a custom laundry room, and water heater cubby hole. We've built a hall closet to store board games, outside toys and miscellaneous bathroom supplies. We still need to install our master bedroom door, put up all the baseboard and trim, move out A/C into a permanent hole in the wall, put in a backdoor since we removed the old one so the boys could have a closet. We still have to paint the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and some of the kitchen walls. We still need to finish unpacking our office supplies and homeschooling materials and build a pantry and patio.

Confessions of a Homemaker!

Today's confession: I love that when my boys are having a complete meltdown from over simulation, over exhaustion, or any other reason that I get to be the one who: comforts them to help them calm down teach them how to redirect that energy to something more productive sit with them or lay with them until they calm down Of course it's not always as easy as I make it sound with saying that I love it. I sure have my share of meltdowns along with my boys but I wouldn't have it any other way! I want to be the one that is always there for them when they need me, even if they don't know they need me! What's your confession?

It's the country life for us!

We've made it to Oklahoma and have been here 3 weeks. We've remodeled our house from a one bedroom, two bathroom daycare to a two bedroom, one bathroom house. It's tiny but it's working. We have all the main construction done, new walls, custom closets, and paint all completed by my wonderful hubby and myself with a little help from family here. We have about 80% of our stuff unpacked. I still have a few kitchen things to figure out a place for and LOTS of homeschooling and office stuff to figure out. I'm actually surprised at how well everything is fitting. I will post some pictures in the near future. We just got the computer set up and I have many more things to accomplish today before I can work on getting pictures. Everything has been good so far and we are loving the country life! The boys have a fenced in yard that's close to an acre to explore. They have a trampoline that belongs to their cousins that they share and we just put together the swing set
