Happy Leap Day Everyone! Oh, it's also Monday. Well, that's not so fun. This week's recap is going to be short and sweet, because AF showed up and really messed up things. When I was in high school, AF used to grace me with terrible cramps and nausea, but I haven't suffered with that stuff for forever....

Flashback Friday - Woven Pillow

Heather 2/26/2016 0 Comments

There are a lot of inspired posts in the archives, and I'm digging them out to share with you all again. Hence, the new themed day. This isn't going to be an every Friday thing, but I figure it'll happen often enough to where it deserves a pretty graphic. It might happen every Friday for a bit, but who knows. I'm really...

What!?!? I've managed to write two Thursday posts in two weeks?! That's craziness. Ok, it's not, but I feel like mini-celebrations are a needed part of everyday life. They're little pick-me ups. You know what else is a pick-me up? Breakfast. I love breakfast. Breakfast = coffee. If you follow me anywhere, but here...

Cutting right to the chase, what I've got for y'all today is a recipe test with some helpful tips/random thoughts at the end. This is not my recipe by any means, but rather from Whole Foods.

Updating the Picture Wall

Updating the Picture Wall

Heather 2/23/2016 0 Comments

Why is it that some of the simplest updates we can do around our house take the most time? Not because they're difficult or will take a lot of time, but because they're so easy. You keep putting them off, because one day you'll "get to it." It's on the list. Today, I knocked one of those "get to it"s off the list. I...

Training last week, started off really strong, then sickness invaded the house. All the kids shared some nasty stomach bug, which meant plan changes for me, but it's all ok. Everyone is now healthy, and hopefully it stays that way for a bit. There's not much else going on, so let's just get to the meat of...

Small Fry's Not-So-New New Room

Heather 2/19/2016 0 Comments

Small Fry was a very patient boy for 6 weeks. 6 weeks ago, we told him we'd be updating his room. He needed more space, and with smallest room in the house, the arrangement we had going on for him just wasn't working. He patiently waited while we worked on the basement before Super Bowl. Then less than...

Heather 2/18/2016 0 Comments

Some journey's don't require you too look back. Most people don't like looking to the past, but when you're on a journey to get healthy, lose weight, or achieve a fitness goal, looking back is good for you. It reminds you about how far you've come. It's been a rough week in the Boyajian household. Over the weekend,...

Happy Humpday everyone! Man, it's been forever since I did a What to Eat Wednesday, and I'm super excited to share this gem of a soup with you guys today.

We've entered the doldrums of winter. It's cold, gray, and miserable. December is doing something right with all of its lights and color. This is part of what spurred me to dig out some old pictures and alter them. If you follow me on Instagram or follow me on Twitter, then you'll have seen this...

The kids are off school again, dang holidays, but luckily, we're forecasted for yet another winter storm. Can you sense my sarcasm? If my kids are off school tomorrow... I don't even know how to finish that sentence. I love having my kids home, but not on unscheduled days, when we're stuck in the house....

So remember when I shared my plans for the bar table? It's been a few weeks, but let me refresh your memory. Reclaimed Oak Bar Table It will now be known as That %*&$ Table. It was one of those projects. If it could go wrong, it did, and then some. We're never getting rid of this table. It went so over budget,...

Woman's World featured this wreath in their magazine issue last week! When they contacted me out of the blue one day in January, saying they wanted to do a feature on this wreath, I was a little overwhelmed. Here is the post from 2011, I did edit it a bit so that nothing is out of context. Throwback Post Hearts are...

I'm so excited about this little corner in our basement. This corner used to hold the bar, but when we moved the bar a while ago, this corner just seemed unimpressive. Now, it's mostly done. There are a few more things we want to do to the corner, but for now it's done. I shared the picture windows yesterday {HERE},...

This week went better than previous weeks. I got in 3 dedicated workouts, and more than a few housecleaning workouts. Overall the week went well, it wasn't until the end of the week, when things got a little busy gearing up for the Super Bowl, did I trade in my runs for running up and down my stairs multiple times.

My husband thought I was nuts. After we finished the built-in, I was worrying about styling it. We'd just built this beautiful thing, and I was worried about what to put in it. I should've trusted the hubs, because he was right. Styling it was the fun part. I got to go shopping, both retail and at home, and...

You might be a bit confused by the latter half of that title, but let me explain it. My Big Guy has been putting his witty 10-year-old prowess to work with puns and other wordy jokes, and when I completed this project (the first time) he dubbed it Virginchusetts. So it's now stuck. So if you've followed Sew Half Crazy...

Well today is February 1, and honestly I thought I'd be further in my training right now. I really have no one to blame, but myself and a lack of dedication. The stomach bug I came down with last week didn't help either, but hey I'm down 5 lbs! Not the way I wanted to lose half the weight I found over the holidays,...
