Busy busy busy

We've been busy little bees in our not new, but improved hive.

Over the last week, we have cleaned our office and our garage.  We spent the weekend with family, and even went to the KU game on Wednesday night.  I'm telling ya.  There has been no time for blogging.  Last night and this morning I've been playing catch up with the internet world.

So, the work on our house has been our big achievement of the past month.  I've showed you the kids bedroom and our bedroom, while there is still work to be done on both (things for the walls) they are mostly done.  This last week, we did the office, bathroom and garage.

The bathroom was quick and easy since it's already pretty organized.  I added some art work and we put in a rug and it looks like a huge transformation.





The office was a junk room.  It was the room that if you had something you didn't know what to do with, you threw it in there.  Well, not anymore!  It's a nice, functioning office/craft room.  I wish I had a before picture to show you because it really came along way.





Lastly, the garage!  It was a rough project that took us a couple of days.  I took pictures, but they don't do it any justice, so I'll wait to take new ones until after my brother in law picks up our old tv, and we move the old refrigerator out on trash day.

Here is our trash pile, out in front of our house.  It's all from the garage and it's not including the 3 to 4 car trips with bags of clothes for donation to the planet aid bins.


Now, I have to get everything ready for Sydney's birthday which means lots of laundry today since we weren't home all weekend.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil.
