I took a little blogging hiatus this past week to host 8 of our favorite people in our home. Had such a blast with my brother Kevin & sister-in-law Lauren & niece & 5 nephews.
Kevin (the one who did the digital Project Life instructional video) is the one who shot that picture of me in the last post. Nice composition, eh? Someone said they thought it looked like an ad for the sunglasses. Ha! Kevin’s pretty great behind the lens. He pretty much rocks for lots of reasons.
But that picture really communicated “vacation”, didn’t it? Well he also shot this one, which is probably more accurate of what I was doing this past week. : )
(I promise I am not usually so dolled-up when I’m doing the dishes. This was last Sunday and I guess I just never got out of my church clothes because my dress was comfortable.)
Anyway, the week was awesome. I so love my family. I’m so grateful for time together as we swam and made s’mores and watched movies and talked and talked and talked. Of course we squeezed in some creative time. It’s tradition.
I “coached from the sidelines” as Lauren made her first floral arrangement, so I’ll be sharing that soon. I think I’ve even convinced her to spray-paint something for their home.
On that note, I have a lot of spray-painting inspiration to share on the ol’ blog this week. Among other fun projects. Check back tomorrow. It’s time to return to regular blogging around here. : )
Yeah looking forward to some more inspiration!! I loved your kitchen before (from old posts) and I love it now, so bright and happy.

I know you buy your disposable gloves from Costco, but what brand are they? I walk by them all the time, but never know which ones to get. I think there are 2 or 3 choices. Please let me know.
Thanks!!
Fun. Yeah and way to cute for just doing dishes. Let’s catch up soon!
Welcome back! I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
Way to go Lauren! Hope you had fun with a houseful. Welcome back.
Welcome back! You were missed! I LOVE the apron! Where did you get it?
YAY!! I am super happy about your regular blogging returning! Glad you had a great time with your family!
I love seeing you all dolled up in your apron!
Dear Becky, I just had a flashback to Donna Reed and her pearls! Please tell me that you did NOT have on heels! I would at least hope you had a pair of cute flip flops!!
Please, give us a Project Life kit update. We’re moving to a new state next month and I really want to use PL to document our new adventure!
I wish I looked that good doing dishes! You are an inspiration!
Wow, talent runs in the family…I loved that pic of you…I, too, thought it was an ad. On another note…somehow I didn’t even realize that you could possibly ever have a “dirty” kitchen. It made me smile to see it. Love you, love your blog…it brings “happy” to my day.
Your kitchen does look “happy” as someone posted. Is it real tile or wallpaper on the wall? Did you get your apron at TJ Maxx? Glad to see you posting again!
Glad you had such a great week! I love your spray painting projects and I can’t wait to see what you have to share!
Super cute doing the dishes .. and YAY your kitchen (even if for but a moment) was less than pristine!
You DO have to do dishes like the rest of us (teehee) .. but I know I don’t look nearly as cute.
