Fixer Upper Alphabet Print

Are you guys with me when I say, I really feel like Joanna Gaines and I could be super good friends in real life?  Seriously!  She is the cutest and just seems like such a genuine, awesome, kick-A kind of girl.  One of my favorite things about her show, Fixer Upper, is all the kid space inspiration.  I'm a sucker for typography, folks, and when I saw these classic alphabet prints, I knew I needed to recreate them for my own family's reading nook.

I live in a small town.  So, framing options are pretty limited.  I haven't been able to find any options that I love and are still fairly affordable.  So, I just clipped them to some framed chicken wire in the meantime.  I also love that my daughter can use them as a guide when writing lower and uppercase letters.  These would be great for some of you home-schooling mamas, too!

These are formatted to print as a large print at 11x17" which will cost you about 60 cents at Staples.

Laundry Room Printable

Laundry is my least favorite chore.  I constantly feel as though I'm swimming through the piles and baskets and lights and darks and white and lost socks... it overwhelms me.  Right when I complete an entire week's worth of laundry, I find the same baskets overflowing just two days later.  If there is one task I never fail to complain about, it's laundry.

A childhood friend of mine, who lost a child, mentioned this quote recently and how thankful she is for the piles of laundry in her life.  Maybe I'm late to the party, but I don't remember hearing this one before.  It really touched me.  I need to live more in the moment and be grateful and satisfied with "the now." Yes, the piles of laundry are inevitable. But, I need to remember the sweet little healthy bodies who are dirtying that laundry, and oh how grateful I am for them!  Thanks, Jess, for the reminder! You are a strong mama!

There's something a little sad about summer ending.

But, so much excitement comes along with bidding farewell to flip flops and sprinklers.

New teachers, new friends, new school supplies (always my favorite part), and so much more!

This month, we will be celebrating by making some of our favorite prints from the shop available to all our lovely Sissyprint readers for freebs.  I sent my little man off for the big first day of school today.

I hope he remembers this one...

My son is starting at a new school this fall.

Quotable Monday - Emily is back.

I feel like life has been trying my patience lately.

I have a five year old, darling little boy.  He's such a sweetheart. But, lately the tantrums and whining have been giving me a run for my money.  My amazing husband completed graduate school two years ago. With the tough economy, we continue to make the most of our little apartment while I dream of a backyard to call my own where the kidlets can run wild. I took the past month off from my many duties and obligations to destress.  Nearly a year of infertility and frustration is what helped me find this quote by Marquis de Vauvenargues.

Patience really is the art of hoping.

Hoping that my recently ordered copy of "Love and Logic" will give me some new parenting tools.

Hoping that my husband's hard work and brilliance will be discovered by an employer and our little family will finally be able to move on to the next phase in life.

Hoping for a baby.

Hoping... and fingers crossed really tight.

can you believe the fourth of july is NEXT WEEK?

this summer is flying by far too quickly.

i hope you are enjoying it as much as i am.

abraham lincoln

the fourth of july is one of my favorite holidays. 

i love how patriotic everyone seems to be around this time. i also love walking into homes decorated in red, white and blue. 

although this isn't a quotable monday print, in my opinion, abraham lincoln has been one of the most influential men in our country.

just imagine this beauty framed along with the americana decor in your home.

Quotable Monday - Luck.

Two of my sissies are graduating from college next weekend.

My older sissy, who has journeyed the road as a widow and single mother of two, has had to work especially hard.
I'm so proud of her.  Angie-Shmangie, this one's for you.

Get some luck here.

Make a choice.

After reading this book, I've come to recognize happiness is a choice.

Everyone is faced with hard things.  Some people seem to go through much more than others.  

We can't always control what comes our way, but we are in control of how we respond.

Life is good. Be positive. Choose to be happy.

Laughter - do it

Love your Grandma.  Miss your shining face already.

wild thing print

every time i hear this song i think of those singing/dancing gorillas that you find lining the shelves of every wal-mart in america during valentines day.

i guess i should have used a money graphic then?

nah!! i thought i'd be cliche in a different way and use a motorcycle!

motorcycles = wild don't they? :)

i love a good motorcycle ride. they always remind me of my sweet grandpa and the rides he would take me on as a kid.

but since this is for valentines day, i dedicate it to my wild thing {my sweetie} sam instead!
