August-September 2010 Moms

WOW Sher you are brave to take that all on with a little one

but the big plus is because you have to do all the renovations you will most definately be getting what you want!

so cols, do you have landscapers names you could refer. Builders, you have someone, they can cost alot too. we need an architect if we buy this house we saw...

I contacted the guy from grand designs, but they not cheap.

getting quotes on a pool. you see this house we saw, has no pool, entertainment area. we love entertaining so huge potential for this house as it has a big yard. geez, i think nothing less than R500 000 renovations. wondering if its worth doing that much renovations

its an old house, but in a panhandle, which is nice and peacful, i love nature, so alot of trees, they have an extra 2 rooms that they extended in front of the house, can you use as guest section or office. big double garage. DH wants that to wash his car and leave inside ... he loves DIY so he wants a house to have some work

this one, is gonna take us years and years. the baths and kitchen needs total work, its so old. the window panes are old, so need to replace with new ones. built in cupboards and old fasioned and we need to put new ones. alot of work, so we will see if its worth it to buy and build here and there

seeing two more this weekend but its expensive, but looking at ideas.

now to win the lotto

We also moved into a fixer upper... we are busy working on it slowly, but oh my word, everything you start on takes twice as long to fix as originally anticipated as you discover ten new jobs along the way!

GRRRRR

Thanks ladies,

those eyes, her eyelashes are def winner... everyone that sees her comments on it. she is lucky, no need for mascara when she gets older..save money ha ha

her dad has long curled eyelashes....

what a stunning pic Sher! She has such lovely eyes.

Evan looks more like his dad but some of his expressions are my brother through and through. He has the strangest eye colour dark green / grey / blue. I have hazel / brown eyes and DH have bright blue eyes.

I hear you on the expensive tastes. I have champaigne taste and a beer budget It will be worth it in the end.

We moved into a much bigger house and it is taking us a while to decide on furniture etc. We have some of the stuff we wanted but a lot of our old furniture still. There are things you dont even realise - like curtains! omw, i had to get so many curtains and blinds made

We painted the whole house white inside until we could decide on decor, paint colours, flooring etc. We are going to do the landscaping and front entrance (outside) and the flooring and painting (inside) in the next few weeks. It's exciting and nerve wracking. Our old house was all modern stuff this house we are looking at more old, country, antique feels to everything. So all my black furniture has to go

sher - she is gorgeous - those eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kerry she looks like you...

Kiara looked like me at birth, as she is growing, looks like daddy.. has all his features...

either way, she was a daddys little girl from birth to this day... he cant get enough of her.

funny how girls and dads have that bond....

moms and their boys
