Weekending

How was your weekend? We had our weekly Friday night Bible study (check out the kielbasa butter bean recipe here 🙂) and Saturday was a busy day! Jimmy took Sadie to work with him in the morning and made some progress on the floors in the homeschool room. The room used to have carpet, but we ripped it up and are doing polished concrete floors (with a rug or play mat on top because… kids 👧👦).

Carpet to polished concrete flooring before and after

Before we started, the carpet was beat, stained, and just done. Once we ripped the carpeting up, we spent a ton of time getting the carpet glue off the ground. Jimmy and I had a “date night” last week where we spent a few hours laying down paint thinner and scraping the floor. Saturday was all abound grinding and smoothing the concrete. I think our next step is to polish and seal it. Then we can move on to fun things like painting and putting together furniture! (more…)

Six Things

Okay, I have a few random things to share. From what Mordecai calls me (spoiler alert, it’s not mom 🥴), to the last art project Sadie and I worked on, and more.

1. An art project with Sadie. Sadie picked out a paint by number kit to do for my mom’s birthday gift and we spent a few months painting it together. We would get out the supplies during Mordecai’s naps and paint away! The picture below is how it turned out.

Palm tree paint by number

I’m usually more of a watercolor gal, but this painting was a lot of fun. I would definitely do something like it again! (more…)
