Happy Groundhog's Day!!

According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, he will leave the burrow, signifying the winter like weather will soon end. If it is sunny, the groundhog will return to his burrow and the winter weather will continue for 6 more weeks.

Thankfully...today was cloudy!!! Winter will soon be over!?!?

The ice storm has continued, and we have 2 inches of ice covering EVERYTHING!! We could ice skate in our front yard...it is soooo slippery! We never lost our power but many did, and this is one of the worst winter storms we've had in years!!

We are ready for Spring, I sure hope that groundhog is right :)

The boys have been begggging for bunk beds for YEARS -  and to get ready for our next newest addition in November, we finally gave in to their pleas and they're now sharing a room! For not a whole lot of money, I think it turned out super cute.  I'll post the deets here if any of you are looking for a quick remodel for a shared brothers bedroom. The wall I did completely on my own, only using a tape measure, level, and razor blade!!  Originally I had wanted an authentic restored barn wood - but the $1200 price tag made me quickly change my mind.  Instead, I picked this up at Lowe's for less than $1 a square foot.  I had never attempted a project like this at all, but after watching just a few YouTube videos I felt like it was something I could certainly tackle on my own.  I did apply just a thin layer of additional glue before I put each peel 'n stick panel to the wall.  Total cost for this Driftwood Gray weathered wood wall was le...
