Fix-Up List!

My mom sent me online for some research of maybe a style/finish of the bathroom faucet I was interested in getting for our bathroom per my brother’s suggestion and we came across Franke sinks. Those who have heard of them are probably like, but Kate, those are kitchen sinks. I know that but a new kitchen sink was another thing she was interested in. She just wants to make little improvements to our household while we have the money. Heck, once I get a job, I plan on adding some money to my mom’s “House Fix-Up Fund” because my mother has always helped me out, why not help her out? So far this is our plan:
• Some roof shingles need to be re-attached
• New paint in the bathrooms
• Living room carpet replaced and living room walls repainted
• My room converted to hardwood floors, closet re-organized with new shelving, and new paint.
• Beth & Selena’s room needs new paint
• My mom’s room needs new carpeting and paint. Also, her French door needs to be replaced.
• In the kitchen, we need to take out all wallpaper, paint the walls, re-do the countertops, and re-do the floors. She’s also looking at a new sink.

As you can see, we have quite a list but I know we can get it all accomplished. If there is one good thing about my family it’s the fact that once we set our minds to something, it gets done!!

Mom’s Spring Fever

Not sure if any of you caught my blog the other day on my mother getting into full swing of spring fever and wanting to fix up the house, but now she has joined forces with my brother. My brother is here sitting outside in our swing talking to my mother about what all she wants to get done around the house. She’s made a list and it is quite a list. There are a few small things that she wants to do like fixing up our bathroom in the hallway. It is very dark and very depressing. My brother suggested us going to look at bathroom faucets and maybe picking a style and then changing counter tops as well as some new paint and it should look ten times better. So I guess Home Depot better get used to us being in there looking for hours upon hours because choosing paint is a big deal, at least it is for my mom.

Happy Birthday Bethy!!

First off I have to say Happy Birthday Beth!! Today is my sister’s 18th birthday so I probably won’t blog until after this weekend since I have big plans tonight and then tomorrow is Easter. Another good thing besides Beth’s birthday is the fact the boyfriend is going to be here tonight.

I just thought I’d pop on to make a quick blog. We have to run to Wal-Mart and get the usual Easter dinner stuff and then the Easter basket stuff. Yes, we waited until the last minute as usual but my mom and Selena had the flu and now Nicholas has it. *knocks on wood* Beth and I are the only ones who haven’t got it yet! We gotta get some Terminix, too. Evidently our old building that we wanted to tear down but first have to move everything out of it has termites. Eww those little buggers are annoying. See, I told you, my mom is getting into full swing of spring cleaning and making the yard look better. We have plans to clean the garage soon as well. Fun. Maybe I’ll finally get a new bedroom comforter and be able to get my room painted once I decide on colors. Lol.

Anyways, off to run to Wal-Mart and then going out tonight. Until next time, later gators.

Happy B-day Bro

Happy Belated Birthday to my brother! His birthday was yesterday! So happy birthday bro!

Sofa Shopping

Well, my mom has finally announced she is serious about getting a new couch. We got our couch a while back and it’s expensive as ever but it came with a lifetime warranty so my mom didn’t feel so bad about shelling out over 2 grand for a sofa. Well, since then, the furniture store closed so guess what!? No more lifetime warranty or store to get our couch fixed at. So now my mom has decided to just go to Big Lots and get a sofa. They have sofas and love seats for like $700. My mom plans on buying one until the kids are older when she’ll buy a new couch of her dreams. Lol. My mom has her future living room all picked out but now she’s deciding how to make the living room now that she’s getting a different sofa. So we’ll see how this goes. I’m just happy for her because she’s wanted to get a new sofa for a while now. Woohoo, go mommy!
