The beginning of our basement renovation!

Okay, so it's not very professional, but I want to create a playroom for the girls and spruce up the entrance to the basement. It's coming together and a little more inviting. I used what paint I already had among other things...now I am looking back asking why it took me 7 years to come up with this? So here goes...

I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

A little bit of sunshine and new endeavors

The weather is warmer and the girls love our backyard paradise. I'm so grateful the both enjoy imagination play, hand-me-down swing sets and space to roam.
