A while back I posted some before pictures of our new (well, it was new at the time) house and while I did manage to post some after photos of our living room (still my favorite room), I haven't really updated you guys on the rest of the house...until now! While I do have sooooo many rooms to share with you, I just did a review for a super cute wall decal from WallMonkeys which completed the makeover of my middle daughter's room so I thought that I'd share her room first.
To refresh your memory, this is what the room looked like before we moved in...gotta love the pea soup green walls!
Yeah, the pictures are way blurry and totally off center (my photographer was having some issues it seems), but you get the gist of how bad the room actually was...totally heinous! Of course, the fact that the room was so awful before, only meant that the finished product had to be completely awesome, because, let's be honest, it was so bad before that anything would have been an improvement! Savanna wanted to go with a Parisian theme for her room and chose most of the elements for her new room on her own, including the paint. I have to admit, I love the end result and it suits her so very well!
I wasn't aware until just this moment how completely different the pink walls look in every single picture, lighting does wonders I guess, but that's completely irrelevant as her room looks ah-mazing...right? She was so please with how everything came out and I know that it's a room that she will love for years to come!
I do want to spend a little time focusing on the super cute and very chic wall decal from WallMonkeys, since Savanna went for a Paris theme in her room, we knew we wanted the Eiffel Tower, but were having no luck whatsoever finding a decal that she liked, enter WallMonkeys and problem solved! They had so many Eiffel Tower decals to choose from that it really was difficult to choose just one, but in the end Savanna went with the one above (and below) which is just a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower with beautiful yellow pansies in the foreground...I think it goes perfectly with the bright pink walls!

Of course, WallMonkeys has SO many different decals to choose from, literally millions of images to chose from, it would be difficult not to find what you were looking for, they definitely have way more than any other decal company that I've ever seen. While I am not the best at applying decals, I've honestly spent way more than I am willing to admit before on decals that never made it to my walls because they were just way too complicated and ended up looking awful, this WallMonkeys decal was so easy to apply that my twelve year old daughter placed it on the wall by herself...yes, it was that easy! If you're looking for wall decals and you haven't checked out WallMonkeys...what are you waiting for? Just a bit of a warning though, you will spend hours searching their decals and you will find so so many that you love...they're just that awesome!
And there you have it, Savanna's room makeover, brought to you in part by WallMonkeys!
Until next time y'all...

And of course that title should most definitely be sang exactly like Ozzy Osbourne does it...I love that song!
Wow, it's been a long time since I've written a blog post, it seems like the majority of my time is spent working and trying to keep my house from looking like a hurricane came through that I just don't have time for much else...sadly. Since I have missed blogging so much the past few months, I decided to clear my schedule and do some writing and honestly, I couldn't be happier!
In June I resigned my position at The Popcorn Factory to start another work from home position with my dream company, which was both sad and exciting, sad because I loved the people that I worked with and the customers that I had the pleasure of helping every day, but it was also exciting because in leaving that job, I had the opportunity to work for my dream company...Apple! While I am still very (very, very) new and still learning each and every single day, I know that I made the right decision for me and my family and I couldn't be happier!
June also brought the official end of the baseball season for my husband's Tee Ball team, The Rockets! In the span of a few short months I had the pleasure of watching a group of amazing little boys become awesome baseball players and getting to see my husband do what he loves best, teaching kids about baseball, was worth all of the long, hot games and running around that I did. I have to say, I am so proud of how far our team came in such a short amount of time. I cannot wait to see what next season holds!
July was a tough one for all of us, as it marked one year since my Dad passed. It still seems unreal and often I find myself making plans to stop by and see him, before I catch myself and remember that I can't. Since it's still a little too much for me to talk about, I'll stop there.
August so far has been a blur of school shopping, work and getting myself mentally prepared for my youngest baby Lil Diva to head off to kindergarten...oh my gosh y'all where has the time gone. Given that this blog was created when Diva was just a month old, way back in 2008, it puts a lot of things into perspective for me. I can't believe that in just a few short days I will find myself alone at home for the first time in seven years, part of me is excited for the alone time, but the other part is terrified to let my baby go. Thankfully Lil Diva is super excited about kindergarten and making new friends and just everything that starting a new chapter in her life entails, which makes it both easier and so much harder on me, but I have faith that she'll do amazing and that I will learn to relish the quite time before the school bus stops in front of my house and unloads all my kiddos!
And that's about it...changes are a comin' and while I am nervous to see how those changes are going to impact life at our house, I'm excited for what the future holds for my family!
Until next time...
