DIY Monogram Door Mat
| May 7, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Crafts, DIY, Home Decor |
“Aren’t people just going to wipe their feet on it?” A question that I would expect to hear from my husband’s mouth, but instead it came out of my 5 year old’s mouth! Just like his daddy! Me: “Well, yes, but I didn’t want it to be boring. I wanted it to be pretty!” Michael: “Alright but don’t complain to me when someone wipes mud all over it!” Me: {Seeing wheels turning in his little head} “Don’t you dare wipe mud all over it!” Michael: {Disappointed look…turned into evil mischievous look} “OK!” and runs out! BOYS! Seriously… Anyway…..I needed… Continue reading…
Just a Bunch of Words…
| April 14, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Random Crap |
Amidst the Washi Tape craze that is going on here, other stuff is happening also. It’s good to be back in St. Louis. If you follow hockey, you then know that the Blues are in the Stanley Cup playoffs. If you follow baseball, then you know that today was the Cardinals home opener. It rained all day and the Cards lost to the stupid Cubs. I blame Friday the 13th. I went over to my parents house on Thursday evening after dinner to borrow a sander from my dad. It was awesome. I packed up the kids, I drove 2… Continue reading…
A Moving Update & A Mustache Mug!
| March 28, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Crafts, DIY |
Hi Friends!!! I miss you!!! We are getting settled in and finding a spot for all our crap, well most of it anyway! When not unpacking, we have also been LOVING spending time with family. We have never lived in the same city as family so this is really awesome for us! The boys are totally thrilled with the fact that they can see my parents…on a week night…only in a matter of minutes and then they can do it again the next day. They are NOT used to that! I bought a bunch of furniture also. A leather sectional,… Continue reading…
Moving Sucks
| March 21, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Random Crap |
Yep, as the title of this post suggests…moving sucks! Hmm…where to begin? 1. Ryan decided to get hand, foot and mouth disease and be MISERABLE for about 5 days prior to the move. It was super awesome. He couldn’t eat and couldn’t sleep because he was hungry. Score! I started out…TIRED! 2. Utilizing the awesome help of my fantastic girlfriend’s husband…heavy furniture AND our freaking heavy playground/swing set thing was moved on Thursday. The moving of the swing set really did not negatively impact me in any way, shape or form…however the moving of the heavy furniture resulted in this:… Continue reading…

We packed up the family and took a small road-trip to St. Louis this weekend to look for houses! Mission Accomplished! Whew! We looked twice before over Christmas, but on Saturday we looked at 11 houses. Yes, ELEVEN!

Like, you could spit on the the tracks close! AND…yes there is an and here also…they had MAJOR power lines overhead with the giant poles right in the… Continue reading…

Today is our three year wedding anniversary! I had so much fun on our wedding day. Best party I ever threw! I wish we could get married again each year…but without paying for it again! Oh to party like that again would be wonderful! Did I ever tell you that I did a rope swing at my reception? Like in my dress and everything? Well, I did! Here is proof! That is my sister next to me! We had our reception in Architecture Hall at The City Museum in St. Louis. If you ever get to St. Louis you HAVE to… Continue reading…
Apple Picking 2011
| August 29, 2011 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
It has become a tradition to go Apple Picking at Eckert’s Orchards with my parents each year. I have pictures of Michael and my dad in poses similar to the ones below for each year. These pictures have also become tradition! Last year Ryan slept the whole time. This year he munched on an apple the whole time. It was Ryan’s first experience with eating an apple as a whole apple and not slices! He loved it! You can click on any thumbnail below and view at full size! What family traditions does your family have? All of these images… Continue reading…
Teddy Bear Picnic Birthday Party
| June 21, 2011 | Posted by Cheryl under DIY, Family, Parties |
Happy First Birthday to my sweet baby boy! For Ryan’s First Birthday I decided to go with a “Teddy Bear Picnic” theme. We decided to have his party in St. Louis at my parents house on his actual first birthday. It worked out really nicely because my whole family still lives in St. Louis. Here’s a recap of his party. Here is the birthday boy himself decked out in his First Birthday Onesie I made for him. He is just as adorable on day 365 as he was on day 1! Everyone was asked to bring along their favorite teddy bear for our picnic. The… Continue reading…
A Dose of Adult
| May 16, 2011 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
I packed up Michael & Ryan and we headed to St. Louis for the weekend to celebrate my cousin’s graduation from college. I really, really needed to interact with some adults and it would be nice to see my family so the trip alone with the boys seemed logical in my head. Leaving Freddy and the dogs to a weekend long vacation of silence and lack of agenda annoyed me just a bit, if I must say. The 5 hour drive in traffic, construction and pouring rain was accompanied by approximately 8,973,672 questions by Michael. Why do cows poop in the grass? Why… Continue reading…
