Laundry Room Makeover!

We have lived in our house for almost 14 years and I have never done anything with the laundry room unless you count allowing clutter to pile up on the dryer when going in and out of the house. I decided the other day that it was time to paint in there. I found an adorable decorative box at Michael's that says, "Every family has a story, but I like ours the very best" in a beautiful aqua blue color scheme. I decided to start there. Then I went to Lowe's and found a complimentary paint. On Friday morning I started painting while Liam was at pre-k, and I was done that afternoon. My brother gave us some tile he had left over from another project and my dad was able to install them over the weekend. To top it all off, Will got me a new dryer to match my HE washer.

Now the laundry room is one of my favorite rooms in the house!

Emily's Ocean Adventure

Emily has opted not to have a birthday party this year. Instead she wants to swim with the dolphins. We tried to make this happen in the ocean yesterday with no luck. There were dolphins--but only after her swim was over and the boat was on its way back. Then the dolphins were jumping through the wake. However, she and Daddy had a great time in Cocoa Beach swimming with manatees and seeing lots of interesting creatures. Emily got to hold a pufferfish and touch a crab! Here are some pictures from their day.
