The house is coming along and starting to feel like home, though there seem to be endless projects that await my attention. I managed to get some pictures hung today which instantly boosts that “homey” feel. The goal was to hang a lot of pictures quickly and easily. “Quickly” and “easily” never seem to go along with home improvement projects so anytime I can sneak those in I am a happy girl.
Here is what I came up with (** I’m sure I was inspired by something on pinterest. That pretty much seems to be the case these days):
I am the kind of person that likes to have a lot of images out where I can enjoy them everyday. I am also the kind of person that likes to change her mind. So having a lot of small images displayed in this manner suits me. (I really must change the clothespins that have someone else’s last name on them. Who puts their name on their clothespins anyway???) I chose to do all bw images on this wall. Thinking I’ll do something along this “line” with color photos somewhere else in the house.
Her first time cooking supper for the family ALL BY HERSELF!
I can see this coming in very handy.
All of these things happened in the last 12 hours (give or take). 
Poor guy hasn’t had a bed since we moved. He crashes on the couch every night. We’re getting there, little man. I promise. We’ve got the bed frame and box spring! Just a few more weeks days until you can sleep in your own bed.
We love our Apologia ocean creatures science! She worked so hard on this little humpback whale. All the kids are doing amazing things with the modeling clay! We’ve got a dolphin, a killer whale, a blue whale ( the LARGEST animal on earth), a sperm whale, a gray whale and this humpback whale in our collection so far.
The healthy food war continues. This time Mom wins the Battle of the Snickerdoodle Pancakes! Woot! Recipe can be found here. The kids and I all liked them! I ground some spelt into flour, but you could just buy spelt flour or use some other kind of flour. I also used coconut oil. She says oil is optional. Thank you, Chocolate Covered Katie!
Couldn’t decide b/t color and bw. Each of the kids had someone stay over. It was so much fun! There are days I think I was meant to have 6 or seven kids.
This photo proves she likes something healthy! The food struggle at our house seems to be a daily occurance.
Recipe from Oh She Glows. Here.
