Some House Pictures and a Yummy Recipe

 Happy Wednesday Friends! And Happy Day-after-the-election day! Praise God for putting President Trump back in the Whitehouse! As Christians we must remember that those who mock God will not prosper. God will not be mocked. For those who feel differently, I understand your disappointment, but believe it or not, I want the best for you. 

Now, moving on...

This week I took some pictures of our new home. I'm just now getting more pictures hung around the rooms, but here are a few shots of what I have so far.

First, I snapped a shot of the rain and sun coexisting. And I thought about life and how we can experience something beautiful and at the same time, struggle with something not so sun shiny. 

Here's my kitchen. Plenty of counter and cabinet space, for which I am SOOOO grateful! I was existing off of a tiny kitchen in the lake house, so this is such a great space for our family.  

My DIL's and I were talking last night about having things out on the counter vs. having things put away. Everyone has their preference. As you can see, I'm on the "leave it out" team 😅

This little island is a work in progress. It serves great as a dessert bar on family dinner night. I have all of my paper goods and the kid's sippy cups stocked underneath. It's great to have this extra counter and cabinet space. 

The lighting is not great in some of these pictures, but the walls are pure white. Nice and clean. 

I love this little corner. This has become the kid's table on family dinner night. It's working out great, having the extra seating. I actually collect these enamel top tables. This is my 3rd one. The other two are in my office. 

I call this area "the library." I love to sit here and read. You can see my stack of library books on the corner of the book shelf there. 

I'm enjoying decorating my mantel too. 

Through those double doors is the family room. It's still a work in progress, but pictures will be coming soon!

For family dinner last night we had Frito chicken Casserole, which was delicious! I served it with a side of pinto beans, guacamole, salsa and taco sauce. For dessert Morgan made some amazing cookies and of course, I had ice cream in the freezer. 

Before going in the oven. 

I forgot to take one after baking, but trust me...

it was so yummy!

Well, there's the partial house tour. There's a lot of work going on in the guest room and I'm waiting on curtains for the family room. These things take time and money, so sometimes it's a slow go, if you know what I mean. 😀💰

Today we have the appraisal on the house we are selling. I hope that means the closing is coming soon! One can only hope. 

I hope you're having a wonderful week! Can you believe there's another hurricane out there? Thankfully it's not coming here!

Until Next Time...

Blessings!
