Show Us Your Life-Kitchens

I am very thankful for a nice, spacious kitchen. I love food, Steve loves food and we both like to cook. We spend lots of time in our kitchen.

I love my pantry. When we were looking to buy this house, a lot of the houses we looked at did not have a pantry.



This black shelf belonged to my Grandmother. It was yellow when she had it. I painted it black when we moved into this house.
My talented friend Amanda made my kitchen curtains. I love them!

I recently got this Scentsy! It was a wise purchase. I LOVE it! They work really well. I don't have to worry as much about burning our house down with a candle.
I love this sign! Ha ha!

What a lovely, spacious kitchen! I, too, love a nice sized pantry. I'm really pleased the housing they gave us has a nice kitchen- the last time we were here mine was like a galley! :)

I love your kitchen. Mine is currently "under construction" (aka, removing the drop ceiling and replacing it...talk about mess!).

Beautiful kitchen, Laurie!

I heard about Scentsy for the first time today. The Christian blog "A Wise Woman Builds Her House" is having a scentsy giveaway competition at the moment.

We have not a lot of cabinet space for food so our pantry is a big plus. We live in Army housing so we didn't get to pick our kitchen! Ha! Our old house was so small that the pantry was in the laundry room!

I found your blog through Kelly's Korner! You must be the bff she is always talking about! I thought it was so funny that your blog is called 'Laurie's Life'... because mine is 'Laura's Life'! Ha! Good name! Also, I have the same Tick Tock Cafe picture in my breakfast nook. Too funny!

I love you kitchen. We are saving and preparing for a remodel of our kitchen and you gave me some wonderful ideas. If you don't mind me asking what is your backsplash made out of? Thank you! Also my 10 year old daughter,Claire, loves reading your blog. She said the other day Laurie seems like a really nice lady. I just had to share that with you. Have a blessed and wonderful day!

Hello Laurie, I found your blog from Kelly's Korner and I wanted to ask you what color did you paint your kitchen? I love how that color looks tan in some places and goldish-yellow in others. Your kitchen is just beautiful! So sorry about little SK. My daughter had the dermabond when she was little and its so much better than stitches. I enjoy reading your blog. Your girls are adorable! Thanks for sharing!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....
