Happy CBC Monday!

It is Chocolate Birthday Cake Monday.

A homemade cake to celebrate a school co-workers birthday.

Chocolate fixes everything.

Even Mondays that do not go as planned, 

such as today.

Sprinkles: because adulthood needs a little sparkle too.

A little Lovin' from the Oven!!

Happy Monday!

Tore it up to Build it Better

Our Master Bath Update/Remodel is coming along.

Demolition is coming close to an end.

Now it is on to plumbing and wiring and construction.

The toilet, shower and tub are all being moved to new locations.

Mr. Wonderful has framed in a new wall and moved the plumbing.

He moved the shower drain was moved as well. 

Still trying to decide on all the plumbing fixtures. Hopefully we will have it narrowed down soon. In the meantime, lots of work ahead. 

Happy SUNNY Saturday!

What do you call a Burger without a bun?

A Naked Burger! 

However, it looks pretty well dressed to me. 😉 

No bun no problem. The patty is well covered with great toppings and homemade potato salad was the perfect side. 

Biscuits and Gravy were on the menu last week also. Homemade biscuits and gravy from scratch. Just the way we like it. 

 BBQ'd Steaks and homemade Potato Salad made it on the menu last week as well.

Also, in case you are wondering about our master bath project, I will be back soon with an update. The tear out is about finished and Mr. Wonderful is in the process of moving drains and pipes.

Have a great week!

Blooms, Beams, and Berry Dreams

That's what Spring is made of!

It is beginning to look and feel like spring which puts me in the mood for Strawberries.

Early bloomers lack depth and do not have the same taste, texture or sweetness that June berries have. It's always better to wait for the real deal. However, that being said, they are hard to resist.

And, as the story goes, I could not wait. So, of course, we bought some 

and I made shortcake!

It did not disappoint as my expectations were in check.

YUM!!

The first blooms of spring

always make my heart sing.~ S. Brown

Oh, my achin' back!

Actually, not my achin' back but Mr. Wonderful's back. He does all the hard work and heavy lifting, which goes without saying. And today was no exception. 

The master bath is now gutted. The only thing left is the toilet, the cabinets (which, at this point, we are planning on keeping, but that could change) and a little tile that will all be removed and replaced once we have the new tile.

The photos say it all. 

A lot of debri that needs to be dealt with but other than that it is a beautiful day which calls for a BBQ! 

Happy Thursday!

Demo Day!

When your bathroom looks like a crime scene!

Out with the old, in with the...well, nothing yet.

Still in DEMO mode.

Mr. Wonderful hard at work!

My JOB . . . carry the pile of boards and tiles downstairs. 

Day ONE :: Mission Accomplished!

The sinks & toilet stayed. Everything else... 

. . . GONE!

That's a wrap, { for today that is }!

   

Happy wrecking ball Wednesday!

Oh Boy ~ Here we go Again!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?!

 Mr.Wonderful is at it again!

Demolition has begun!

And, there is no turning back!!

Demolition: the messiest form of therapy. 😜

BUH-BYE  old, DATED bathroom 

Our bathroom renaissance begins with a sledgehammer!

Happy Tuesday!
