finally some pics

Finally got some pics to post! It's been a long road but we feel like we never left home. It's def different, but all in a good way. We love it and seriously.........how did I live without a dishwasher before? Honestly.....



I just had to put a picture of my new Rachel Ray stainless steel pans.....best purchase I made!
My huge clock from Ikea!


This is looking at the living room from the steps. Not very well lit!
This bookcase used to be in the bedroom, but we moved it to the kitchen. It now houses my favorite books, and all my cookbooks, and decorating books. I probably got rid of half my books and it still looks full.
I love my vanity dresser...

This is my new fave place to be.....I never had a bed so comfortable. Although when we were putting this and all the other beds together we were saying, "Dang those swedish!" In other words it was a lot of beds to put together with alot of little pieces that we'd never seen before! All worth it though!My pumpkin butter-colored bathroom, Ikea mirror, and vanity that used to be my work table! We're not quite finished with it yet.



Hunter's bachelor pad!
Selena's side.....


Belle's side.....can you tell who is messier? :)

Missy, It looks awesome! I can't wait to see it in person! We have been housebound for about the last two weeks with sickness, so as soon as we are all good and healthy, I'll make a trip to Berlin and you can show me your new pad! :)

Grace in the madness of mothering

-
The Bargain Hunter , where my column appears, is undergoing website changes. For now, my columns will be posted here:  There’s grace somewhere in the octaves between high-pitched and emergency, where I could hear the timbre of my voice and know that I was one step away from madness. This chaos lies in the line of crooked bangs cut with a dull hair scissors, no longer able to brush them away from the brown eyes of a child you love with such fierceness and agony. She would look at me, taunting, hugging me before she ran from me to do the things that would make my throat quiver. She would get up from her bed twenty-nine times in an evening, her Aladdin nightgown swinging as she descended from the stairs, and nothing I did would make her stay. There’s grace allowed somewhere in that madness. I remember rocking my baby in a rocker that several of our family had bought us for our wedding. The curves of it embraced us, and the nursery was warm with forced air from the furnace. I

We are Ghosts

"We are ghosts to you. We don't exist until you want our sympathy or help. You don't think your vote will really count, because you want to see what "happens." It's a vote against us and you don't see that. It's a vote against me. We are ghosts until you want us, but we were never there if you didn't see us until it counted." - quoted by someone I love, 9/24 I am lost.  Awash. Drifting in a sea of distractions. Fraught and edgy. Simple and deep. My thoughts betray me and I cannot sleep. We the people. No longer are we the people we say we are.  We are washed in the blood of Jesus and drowning in our own hypocrisy. We cry out for the blood to flow from the bodies of our brothers and sisters in lands far away - those who cry for our help - as well as turn a blind eye to the ones dying in our streets at alarming levels, shouting, "He should have listened."  We cry "Save the babies!" while we kill those in priso
