Do you guys remember a couple of weeks ago when Jay and I bought ourselves a new front door? Well, I realized this morning that I still haven’t shown you guys the finished product.
So here’s the before:
It was an old, wooden door, that had since expanded due to weather and was actually quite a challenge to open and shut (we usually use our garage door as our main entrance anyways – probably because that’s how we did it when my grandparents lived here).
So last week, I left one morning with Jay and his dad here, having it look like this…
And then I came home to find it looking like THIS!
I seriously still walk into the living room every morning and cannot believe the difference it makes in the room. It’s so much brighter now, thanks to the morning sun that we get in the front of our house.
Before & After:
It’s definitely one of my favorite home improvement projects to date; well, except of course, for that whole big kitchen renovation. Would you believe that a year ago at this time, I had a kitchen that looked like this:
Good lord that was not fun. But hey, totally worth it in the end.

Workout
Today started off with a light, mish-mashed workout from Exercise TV, focusing on a little bit of everything:
- Rock Hard Arms (20 minutes)
- Leg Slimmer and Toner (10 mins)
- Cardio Yoga (20 mins)
This particular yoga video was new to me, and I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about it. The instructor was much different from the usual, calm, lightly-spoken instructors that I’m used to; he seemed to have a little more fun with it and kept the moves moving constantly the entire time. My final verdict by the end was that I liked it, but not for all the time.
Breakfast
I had to switch it up today. I needed a day off from the eggs, and since I knew this last night, I went ahead and prepped a batch of Voluminous Pumpkin Oats. And then, since I had an almost-empty peanut butter jar just waiting to be used up, I turned it into some pumpkin oats in a jar.
I really think that today may have been one of the best, creamiest batches I’ve made to date. I’m thinking that the extra splash of Silk Pumpkin Spice may have done the trick. Oooo my oh my!
Today’s batch got topped with some raisins, a little Love Grown Foods granola, and paired with my typical mug of coffee.
A delicious and filling morning meal indeed!
Alrighty folks, it’s about time to go do the work thang. I’ll catch ya’ll a little later…I’ve got to share some of my fun Thanksgiving crafts that I did yesterday.

Questions for the Morning:
Oats: In a jar, or out of a jar?
What do you think would be harder on convenience: remodeling a kitchen OR remodeling a bathroom?
Have you ever remodeled anything in your own home?
