    Five on Friday

    Goodness…it’s been another full week of planning home renovations and I just thought things were getting real last Friday! We really didn’t have very much exciting happening this week, other than meeting with an insurance adjuster, our roofer and a floor guy. It’s exciting to us because they all told us exactly what we wanted to hear {and some even better!} but I’m sure it’s a bore to everyone else. Until we aren’t living and breathing renovations, my Friday post will probably be focused on whatever project we are currently working on. Not by planning but that’s at the forefront of our lives right now and this is a blog about my life and…

After grabbing a bite to eat, we hit up some shopping and waited on our room to be ready. It was really windy Saturday afternoon but never too cold for a walk on the beach. We headed out for supplies to last us the weekend. As you…

    Five on Friday

    Whew…what a week! It’s been an incredibly busy one but so productive for the Sloans. We’ve had appointments for the cabinets, flooring, roofing and with a painter {for the outside}. Things got real this week, y’all…we are actually renovating our house! And I may lose my sanity.  ONE | I want to wish a very happy birthday to my sweet, sweet mama. We’ve always been incredibly close, even at the times in life where children are supposed to despise their parents. She has been my biggest cheerleader, truest friend and an incredible role model on how to be a Godly wife and mother.  TWO | This past week has taught me that I could…
