in process

it's been one adventure after another out here on sycamore hill...but there is progress!!!
here is my laundry closet. the set will hopefully be installed by mid-week!!! the wall color is woodsmoke and very nice!

here is hubby's office - well just the corner of it. he has the cutest little fan you ever did see, but he doesn't like me calling it cute and i just noticed it is cut out of my picture. boo:(

and here is my kitchen.....it is painted and where it isn't is where the cabinets will be. a friend hooked up my stove, but i've yet to use it. although next week i plan to cook and maybe even bake!!!! i need to hunt down all my pots and pans though. there were packed in a do not need box!


this is a picture of our flooring....let's just say, there is quite a mess that we aren't happy about so last night hubby started cleaning our floors. can you tell where he cleaned? i love these floors!


and here is emily......our snowgirl friend! princess and i headed out for some sledding and snow girl making on our recent snow day.

Looks like your kitchen is progressing faster than our kitchen. Our contractors couldn't make it the last two days because of the snow. Week one of __ without a kitchen or first floor, a toddler stuck at home, and 7.5 months pregnant. I need a 4 week vacation.

This is so fun to find your blog. My friend Kelly Yoder pointed me to yours. We are also living in a fixer-upper. It's so fun to see progress that comes from hard work. Our kitchen is looking a lot like yours right now...sometimes I feel like I'm camping! :) Good memories though, I'm sure. Blessings to you.

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

they're here!!!!

this is not how i left my house this morning. in fact, i wanted to take a picture of kitchen set-up #2. it was really quite a nice set-up my hubby did! very functional and i was pleased. but i came home this afternoon to my kitchen being moved to the dining room and boxes everywhere!!!!!!! as you can see....the cabinets are in and some are going up RIGHT NOW!!! isn't she pretty? i can turn each shelf by itself. look there are four drawers in the picture. i am used to only 1 drawer....what will i ever do with so many drawers? see those boxes above....i think i'll be able to start putting them away - maybe even tonight, although with idol, the olympics, and a very important mom's morning talk to prepare the box emptying may just have to wait! if you look closely you can find the red trim paint we sampled....i can't wait for the full effect ahh.....did i mention the countertops won't be installed until the 27th at the earliest and that i'm not without a kitchen ...
