Janna's Journey

I bought these weird-looking things up in Midway during Swiss Days last year, it was kind of an impulse buy and I really wasn’t sure I would ever even use them, But here I am 8 months later and I think these may be my new favorite kitchen Gadget ever! These silly little tubes keep … More New favorite Kitchen Gadget: The Gripstic

Our Cupboards have been pretty bare lately. I’m trying to adjust to cooking for two sometimes three people (with Tyler’s work schedule he’s rarely home for dinner). I have never been good at making dinner anyways, but making dinner for two or three makes it that much harder! It’s so much easier to just go … More Cashew Chicken Sandwich

So here’s my Stair railing before. Notice the ball finials, they are all scratched up and ugly. I thought, I should just cut those off to give it a more modern, updated look. When I brought that up to Doug and the boys you would have thought I was asking them if I could cut … More Updated Stair Railing ( balls still intact)

I’ve had Tyler’s graduation announcements for a couple of weeks now, but I have not been able to get myself to sit down and address them because I think I am in denial about the whole thing!  I feel like it was just yesterday that I dropped him off to kindergarten and I remember with … More Reality is setting in, My Baby is graduating High School!

So this past weekend I went on a girls trip with a couple of my good friends. We try to get together at least once a year and do a quick get away. Some of these ladies I don’t even get to see very much through out the year because we are all so busy … More Girls Trips are Good for You!

My closet isn’t big enough for both my winter and summer clothes, So every Spring I have to lug all of my summer clothes out of the Office closet and switch them with my winter clothes, its kind of pain in the butt, I seriously think I may have a little hoarding problem when it … More Spring Cleaning!!

I don’t know what it was with all the Chocolate brown walls I had to have, but I am so over them! It you can’t tell I’m going through a major lightening up of my house. I think Doug may kill me soon with all these projects, but I decided if I cant live somewhere … More No more Chocolate…Walls that is

Remember a few days ago me posting about not being about to find my beloved 80’s hairspray? Well I didn’t find the exact kind I use but it is the same brand,  it’s just a light to medium spray instead of the extra firm… I’m actually OK with that… So okay in fact I bought … More Happy Day!!

  I wish I had a better before pic of my mantle, I’m lucky to even have this one because I was so excited to get on this project I almost forgot to take one at all. It’s amazing how much lighter and  brighter this white paint has made my house, I am loving it. … More Snowball Effect Keeps a Rollin’
