I used to have this posted on my old blogspot site but just didn’t move it over when I did the big switcharoo.

I thought it might be good reading enjoyment for your Friday.  I updated a few of them but it is an ironic list considering what I seem to write about most days.  If you’re fairly new to the blog, this will a great way to know more about me!






25. My favorite color is white. I would wear white every day if I could or have it in every room in my house.

24. My husband and I met our very first day of college and were friends up until my senior year.

23.  I used to be able to play the piano, the French horn and occasionally the trumpet. Now I am dabbling in the guitar but am a slow learner.

22. I’ve never been skiing- water or snow.

21. Every year I read books from my childhood, Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie and Archie Comics.  UPDATE- Back when I could actually read a book.  #bloggingproblems

20. My favorite drink is sangria, if you didn’t already know that. And I’m a total cheap-skate. I love the $7 version with a screw off top. High class, I know.

19. I have lived in four different states. I was born in Indiana and have lived twice in both South Dakota and Iowa.

18. There are times when I fear I suffer from AIXELSYD. I read numbers backwards occasionally and I have a hard time spelling without seeing the letters in print.

17. I pray often for children who are suffering throughout the world. What an injustice that any child should ever have to feel hunger, pain or neglect.

16. When I put on my wedding dress, I had that moment where I knew it was the one. Just like a feeling I had about my husband after we met.

15. I love Jane Austen (I think I’ve read all of her books) and one of my favorite movies of all time is Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley. I am also a movie nut and have seen a TON of movies, both old and new.

14. I was great at algebra, calculus, etc. but don’t ask me to do real life (practical) math.  And just ask The Mr. how great I am at budgeting…

13. I think Adam from Man vs. Food has the best job in the world.

12. My eyes are green.

11. If I were a professional athlete, I’d be an ice skater.

10. I love homemade cookie dough. & I’ll probably die from whatever illness it is you can catch from raw eggs. #worththerisk

9. My house is usually organized but rarely clean.

8. I’ve had surgery four times.

7. I used to be able to drink coffee all day long, but after breastfeeding and being pregnant, caffeine makes me crazy. One cup and I’m laying awake at night.  UPDATE- I am now a caffeine fiend again.

6. I cut my husband and little boys’ hair. So if you ever wonder why they always have the same haircut, it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing.  Really.

5. Although my ancestry is German and English, I think I must be Italian. I love the food and the wine. And the more I have, the more loudly I talk and often interrupt. Plus, la famiglia e tutto.

4. I am a way less cool person in person.  I tend to be quiet and come across as snobbish instead of introverted.

3. Jesus loves me, this I know.

2. I’d probably have a Duggar-sized family if I had a nanny, a cook, a maid, a plastic surgeon and a billion dollars on hand.

1. I am secretly a jeans and t-shirt girl, who chooses to try most days to do better.

Happy Friday!!

Alright, I’ve stalled enough.  Here is the big reveal of my trim party.

This is what it has looked like for an extremely long period of time-

All that whiteness is very, very exciting around these parts.  I hope you enjoy it too.

Another little piece of furniture that recently underwent a makeover…my china hutch.

This piece has quite a history.  It was originally my husband’s grandmother’s piece.  And true to its era, it had a dark veneer finish.  Then one day on a whim, I painted it the dreaded black. (Hey, it was about ten years ago.)  And after remodeling my former dining room, it got a good dose of peacock-blue paint.  And I really loved the peacock-blue.  I really did.  It was mysterious and such a fun color.  But then we moved.  And I knew that it just needed a change.

I know you know where this is heading…it got painted white.  And I mean WHITE.

And I love it!

Here is a before shot.  I can’t seem to find a better picture, sorry!

And here is the after-

I’d say this baby took me about three coats of paint.  Covering dark paint can be tricky.

Every time I look at it now I feel like I’m on a vacation to the beach.  And that makes me happy…

Never miss an update
