{Bedroom Make Over Inspiration}

I have wanted to redecorate our bedroom since we moved into this house. I thought it could be so cute with a fresh coat of paint (that wasn't that landlord beige-ish color) and some cute furniture. But seven years later, other rooms in our house have gotten some love, but not the bedroom. I think part of the reason is because we just sleep in there. No one actually sees it. We don't show it off or anything. We close the door when guests are over because it's right off the living room. So there was no rush to get it done. But now since I'm working, I'm slowly but surely trying to get rid of old furniture, organize things, and re-do this bedroom so I can film in it lol.

{Curing My 16yr Old Daughters "Boredom" }

You're bored? I don't even know what bored is. - my grandpa, every single time we complained about being bored.

My grandparents raised me for those that don't know. My grandpa was the hardest working man I have ever known in my life. If he was sitting down it was because he was in the bathroom, eating, or sleeping. And even then he was thinking about all the things he had to do when he got up, got done, or got out the door in the morning. I grew up seeing this hard working man put himself through hell because he was taught growing up that you didn't stop until the job was done. He was never bored because there was always something that had to be done.

My grandmother was a lot like this as well. As a housewife/stay at home mom there was always something to do around the house or in the yard or with the kids. Always. 

I'm not going to lie, I'm lazy lol. And I'm OK with that. But in the last nine months I feel like I've hardly sat down. My job keeps me hopping. This house keeps me hopping. I'm basically a rabbit. 

Apparently my sixteen year old daughter is not seeing any of this work though, because her favorite thing to say is I'm bored or I was bored. She says this mainly after she's caught doing things she knows she's not supposed to do.

So, I pulled a move my grandma would have pulled on me. 

I found her something to do. A lot of somethings actually.

{My Camping Grocery List}

While planning this trip, I keep wishing that I had the motor-home to camp in. My grandma always kept its cupboards stocked with whatever she would need to cook while on the road/camping. Obviously she would transfer the food from her house fridge to the motor-home, but that's easy.

I can't do that. 

Not only can I not do that, but we aren't traveling with any food. We are going to stop at a grocery store close to the park and stock our cabin fridge for the week. So I'm now trying to throw together a list so that when we get to the cabin, we don't have to run back to the store fifty times to get things I've forgotten.

Ya know. Like I do at home.
