My creative side wanted to make something since I am on maternity leave waiting for Gavin to make his arrival. I am itching for stuff to do until my baby boy gets here. I don't have my hospital bag packed, laundry is piled up, and my guest room is a mess. It's not like I have a bunch of other stuff to do right? ha ha
Anyways, I decided I wanted to chalkboard paint something and thought it would be nice to have a chalkboard for the kitchen. During the threat of lots of snow in Tennessee (which really is not a lot to me since I am from an area where this amount of snow is nothing ), I begged Jason to take me to Lowe's to buy some chalkboard paint.
Afterwards, to Home Goods we went to look for a cool frame to paint. Instead, we found this antique looking mirror. After several coats of chalkboard paint, this is the finished product hanging in the kitchen. WE BOTH LOVE IT! Plus, now I can make my honey-do-list for him while I am snuggling with Gavin in just a few days ...laughing out loud!
Lastly, I went to one of my favorite stores eva'--- T-A-R-G-E-T to pick up some last minute baby items that Gavin needed. After grabbing Gavin's items, I decided to browse around the "home" section as usual (drives Jason crazy) and I found this plate and stand for $14.99! I thought it would look nice monogrammed with a big O! What do you think? Gavin got what he needed and Mommy got what she wanted (for a good price I might add).
Jason and I have decided to start this blog. It is pretty bare right now but I am hoping to make it all fancy in the near future. Unfortunately, I am a perfectionist and if I don't have something done to the best of the best, I will not stop! What can I say? That is the "teacher" in me. Therefore, this is as good as it is going to get for tonight because if I do not stop no laundry or house work will be getting accomplished. Let us know if you have any tips or ideas to help or if you simply just want to create my blog for me (haha)! Jason has offered to help me with it sometime tomorrow. He is a lot more tech savy than I am. We can clash working together sometimes so we will see how it goes with him helping me... I may really (I mean really) need one of you.
Onto better and more interesting news...
We are just a few days/weeks away from having our precious son Gavin. Keep checking into our blog for updates on our little guy before he arrives, when he arrives, and of course after he arrives (with pictures)! Love you all! Enough blogging for me tonight...
I am a servant of the Lord, wife of almost 2 years, soon to be mother, and a teacher of wonderful second graders! Jason and I are excited to be welcoming our new son Gavin Brock in a few weeks or less. We hope this blog will give you a glimpse into our daily walk in this life. We are ready to experience what the good Lord has in store for this growing family!
