Looking back at 2014

-
Here we are.. twenty fifteen! I am ready.. 2014 was a bit exhausting.. and I am tired.

We started our year off with a bang.. when little H came into our world.

             and his big brother celebrate a birthday too.. D turned four!

Most of the year was spent working on house projects. The living room, our command center and the pantry and we started work on the basement and we planned to give our formal dinning room a new function. And it is so near completion.. I can hardly wait!


There were no long trips or exotic travels this year :(  Instead the year was full of day trips to the zoo, Philadelphia, apple picking and the Jersey Shore. 


and a few weekend getaway's Upstate New York, Great Wolf Lodge and Niagara Falls.. including a trip a Lion Safari.

Beautiful pictures. Its amazing how fast 2014 year went by.
I can't look at Niagara Falls without silly shivering. I always joke if I ever go there, then I'll probably be on my hands and needs crawling back to the car. lol

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in t...

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making ...
