Remodeling has begun!

So it's been a few hectic weeks around here. We are all moved in and settled into the home. The cleaning took forever as it was not lived in for a year so you can just imagine the dirt, dust and cobwebs. It is now all clean and to my liking :) We have started remodeling on the dining room. We ripped down all the wallpaper which took the walls with it when we did it. Hubby has been stuckoing and sanding for the last week getting ready to paint. I'm so excited I just can't stand it. What I am not excited about is all the dust that sanding leaves behind. What a mess! We will be doing the floors around tax time. Right now its the walls. So here are a couple before photos with the wallpaper, to ripping it down to what the stucko looks like. I hope you enjoy our remodeling project and get ready for our bold colors! You'll have to wait to see the finished project :)

Where Is the Heart of Your Home? Plus Bonus Entries!

Samsung Home Appliances has asked members of twittermoms to tell them where the heart of your home is?

We just moved into a new home that is much larger. I mean much larger as we are now in an almost 2000 square foot home instead of 800. Being larger than we are used to it can feel like we are seperated because Gavyn can be upstairs, I can be in the kitchen, bedrooms, wherever it may be cleaning, Zoe playing in the playroom and daddy usually outside. Here is what I can say though. Our living room is definitely the heart of our home. We spend a majority of our time as a family in there. We play family game night, camp out night, fry night, and we watch TV in there. Every Friday night as a family we get out the sleeping bags, blankets pop in a movie and I cook up some chicken fingers, french fries, mini tacos or whatever fried food sounds good! We love our weekends as we get to wind down from a long work week and finally spend time together as a family. Our new living room is huge and the kids get to "monkey around", ride their bikes, and goose pile on daddy! I try to be that cool mom for the kids and I'm so glad we are here with lots of room for them. So Samsung my family in our living room is the heart of OUR home!
