Here goes nothin'

Hi ya'll! I am so excited to start blogging! I have been wanting to start one that could combine all my interests for quite some time.

Just a quick introduction about this little fam you are following!

I am married to my best friend Brandon.  We have been married for 3 1/2 years.
Brandon works as a heavy equipment mechanic and commutes to work every day an hour each way. He has a down right obsession with all New England sports teams (he is originally from there).  He served in the USMC for four years, which is why we met!


Mama to my yellow lab, Sir Brady of New England (like I said my husband is from New England). He is almost 4 and sheds like a maniac. If you have any secrets on how to control shedding, we are always open!!!!!



Mama to my crazy sweet little boy Zeke!  Zeke will be a whopping 2 in January! He has seriously brought the most joy in our lives ever.  He has the funniest little personality and is always keeping us on our toes.


I am a born and raised Southern Californian!  I work full time as a learning consultant. 


I have a deep love for the Denver Broncos (my dad is from Colorado and we stuck with his team).

I have a full on obsession with Pinterest and believe I have found a new business, a new hobby, or new ways to do things every time I peruse Pinterest.

I love hosting anything from small get togethers to big themed parties.

I pretend to be an interior decorator, but am far far far from it. On the same note, turning our house into a home with my great interior design skills is always a blast!

I love love love love Target! And I am always looking for a great deal on any store's racks!

I hope you enjoy "Following the Kirks"

Cruisin'

One of my best friends is getting married so in getting married style we had to have the bachelorette party. Her and her fiancé met on a cruise ship while both working, so going on a cruise was very fitting!  We took a short little 3 day (booze) cruise.  It was a lot of fun, my first time on ship/cruise, and I'm glad it's over.....wedding time!  Brandon had the kids all weekend and did an amazing daddy daycare job, even with activities and sports and all! He's super dad in my eyes!

Weekend project

I have had this vintage window frame for quite some time now.   I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it but have received lots of opinions and feedback on how to mount the picture. I had heard mount the picture on something sturdy before stapling it to the window, cut the picture into 6 boxes and have it touch the glass since there's a gap in the back, or my original and easy idea of just stapling the picture to the back of the window.  That is exactly what I did and it was the easiest thing ever. I cannot believe I waited so long to get it on and up!  I am completely obsessed with it and finally have a wedding picture up in our house. On to the next project......

Tour de Zeke's Room

We have been working on Zeke's room for what seems like forever. We painted and set up his big boy bed tons of blog posts ago.  His room is now presentable. I say presentable because we still have some things we would like to do, add, and buy!   We decided on a vintage vehicle theme. It went from vintage cars to vintage vehicles because, of course, the themes I choose are not so popular.  I found a vintage car print I liked on etsy but everyone said the fabric was too hard to make as sheets or the cut they had wasn't long enough for a full size bed. After all that I thought going with solid colors would be a great idea. I ordered a duvet cover, pillow shams, a bed skirt, and a blanket from Restoration Hardware. I got them home, put them on the bed with some navy blue sheets and thought "eh"!!! I kept it up for awhile but hated it!!! It was so boring, the down comforter wouldn't stay in place in the duvet cover, and it was so heavy and hard Zeke didn't want to ...
