January 4, 2016January 3, 201616 Comments

I can hardly believe it’s been almost a year since Lauren and I started this blog! There have been many days of frustration when we can’t figure out how something works, but there have also been many exciting days along the way. Thank you so much to all our followers! It’s always great to hear from so many of you and make new friends along the way! We look forward to some new and exciting stuff in 2016!

Today is Recap Day! Let’s see what were the 10 top posts of 2015!

10. Thrift Store Medallion Makeover

This was the first time I used Antique Wax on a project and I love how it turned out.

9. The Drama In Our Backyard

Spring Time! This was quite an adventure!

8. Old Door Beverage/Candy Station

We have used this Door Beverage station quite a lot. It’s a great way to add a little vintage charm to your backyard or patio!

7. Recycled Pallet Table

Love, love, love this table! It really wasn’t something planned, but it turned out great!

6. Corner News-December 11, 2015

Awww! I don’t have to say anything else!

5. Fabulous Vintage Beverage Cart Makeover

This was a great garage sale find! It’s fun to use outdoors in the summer, but also indoors. Right now I am using it for a hot chocolate station.

4. We Went Junking (and some other shopping too)

This was a fun day! Just love this truck!!

3. My Beachy Spring Decorating

Funny how things change in my house so quickly! I don’t even have this shelf anymore! This spring decorating will look quite different.

2. Paper Pinecone Christmas Ornament

I joined an ornament exchange this past year and it was so fun! I loved seeing what everyone else was doing and coming up with something special for my fellow blogger.

1. Recovering My Outdoor Swing Cushions (I Cheated a Little)

Wow! Number one! Is it because I admitted I had cheated? Anyways, I love how the swing turned out and love that I didn’t have to use a sewing machine!!

Wow! That’s a great list and we will have to stay very busy this year to keep up!

The most popular post?

No surprise here! Not with this cute little face! She will be coming home very soon!

Thank you so much for a wonderful 2015 and we can’t wait to see what 2016 has for us!

Welcome to the first official post of 2016! 2015 was an amazing year, but we want to make 2016 even better.

But, before 2016 even got started, we took a family vacation to Morro Bay. This beautiful beach destination is only about 2 hours away from us, so it’s nice for a day trip.

After we arrived and had lunch, we started walking down the street for some shopping. But before we could get anywhere, we saw some seals sunbathing on a deck. Why not take a picture of them?

Next, we did some store looking. It’s like window shopping, but we actually go into the store and look around. This particular store always has these star lights in it, so Haley and I like to look at them. Of course, I took a picture of the pink ones.

Next, we went to mom and my favorite store. It is called the Garden Gallery and it has some beautiful items that it has for decoration. They had a lot of Christmas Trees up that had different decorations.

I also saw this adorable old fashion car in The Garden Gallery. How cute is it?

So after all of our hard shopping, we had to go get candy. There’s a great little place called Kelly’s Candies that we get all of our sweets from. Haley decided to pull an Ariana Grande and “lick” the candy before taking it home.

But the staple of the store is the Dutch mints. They are hard candy shells with a soft mint inside. Mom and I always buy a bag or we will be sad.

And finally, we made it to the beach! It was an absolutely beautiful day, so why not make a video to document the day?

I hope that you enjoyed our little mini vacation. It was a great way to spend our New Years Eve and it was a great way to start off the new blog year!
