Whatcha Got Wednesday -- Kitchen update

Are you ready for an update? 

The lighting is done.  Mr. Wonderful took out the flourescent lights and put in recessed lights.  Can I just say how awesome it is to be able to SEE what I'm doing no matter where I am in the kitchen.  Heavenly!

The backsplash is completely DONE and I did it all by myself.  Mr. Wonderful was working on other stuff, so I jumped in and did it.  I even cut the tile by myself.  I'm feeling like Super Woman right about now!

Mr. Wonderful got the beadboard up an all of the ends/backs of cabinets and started framing everything in.  I'll prime and paint that while he makes the cabinet doors.  I also have to paint the ceiling so he can finish putting up the lights.

Now it's your turn.  Show me Whatcha Got!

Whatcha Got Wednesday -- I have hair!

Remember when I did this?  Well guess what?  It is growing back. I actually got a haircut on Christmas Eve and I LOVE it.  I feel so cute and dare I say it...SEXY.  It has been really interesting watching my hair grow back.  I always parted it on my right side, but as it has grown back in, I've realized that it naturally parts on the left.  I also found out that I have a little spot in the back that grows BLACK hair.  So random!

Aside from being able to raise money for children's cancer research, I have had some really great experiences from doing this.  My kids go to a Montessori school (which we love) and so they are all about community and helping others and teach amazing values like honesty, respect, integrity, service, etc.  When their teachers heard what I was doing, each of them asked me to come and talk to their classes.  I was able to go in before and talk about it and read them age appropriate stories about cancer and loosing your hair.  Then I was able to go back in after and show them what I looked like with no hair and how it would be used to help someone who needed it more than me.  It was such an amazing experience and I consider myself lucky to have been able to participate.  Now whenever I am up at the school I have 50 little kids who want to come up and say hello and give me a high 5.  It is awesome!

After:

p.s.  We have been working our booties off at our house.  We are re-doing our kitchen and it is looking soooooooo good.  I can't wait to show you.  Stay tuned!

Whatcha Got Wednesday--Christmas!!

First I would like to say that today is VERY special day!  It is my 10th anniversary.  When we got married we decided that we would spend our 10th in Europe.  Yeah, that's not happening.  Instead we're getting a babysitter and spending a night out on the town.  Someday we will take a big trip, but it won't be today.  :) 

Anyway,  we had the BEST Christmas!  Santa was good to us this year.  It was full of the 3 F's...friends, food, and fun.  Here are a few pics of the week.

Watcha Got Wednesday

Thanks so much to everyone who linked up last week.  I had no idea if anyone would link up at all and was very pleasantly surprised that 14 projects were linked up.  You people make me smile so much!!! 

I'm still sick and have done absolutely NOTHING for days, so I have nothing to show you.  But I still want to see what you've been up too.
