We decided to go with a camping themed cake b/c all the Buell kids love to camp and what is cuter than little vintage campers?! :)<br /><br />I have had several people ask about the cake. Here are the details:<br /><br />Cake: Costco Chocolate Cake. They have vanilla as well and both are amazing! You can get an entire sheet cake for $19! I usually make the cake, but this time around I took the Costco short-cut and it was fabulous and sure as heck saved me a few hours! I just ordered it PLAIN with no decorations. I made my own green and blue buttercream frosting to decorate with. The sand under the campers is brown sugar. <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b><br /></b></span></span>

If you are like me with only the growing anxiety of buying the perfect gift and not a single present actually bought, then listen up my friends!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am a HUGE fan of personalized gifts. One of my go-tos for kids' birthday gifts are monogrammed beach towels. I suppose I find happiness in knowing it isn't a plastic truck that they will outgrow in a few months. It is something made just for them that they will have for years to come. Who knows, they may even pass it down to their kids some day. Being a graphic artist, I naturally love a great piece of framed art.<br />
<br />
I have teamed up with <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.minted.com/" target="_blank">Minted</a> to bring you the best of both worlds, personalization and art, for all of your 2015 gift giving. You can't go wrong with custom framed art. These will hang on the walls of your loved one's homes for years to come. Here are a few of my favorites from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.minted.com/" target="_blank">Minted</a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>S I D E N O T E:</b> <i><b>Did you know about the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.minted.com/gifts/bnpl" target="_blank">"lock in your deal now"</a> option?!!!</b></i> </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">This is something new that <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.minted.com/" target="_blank">Minted </a>is now offering. Obviously custom anything takes a little more time and thought than just clicking the checkout button, so this option is perfect for taking advantage of a sale even if you are unsure of how you want to personalize it at the moment. Simply pick your design, skip personalization, and check out with "buy now, personalize later" engaged. On the topic of sales, <b>Minted just extended it's Cyber Monday deal through today - 20% of holiday cards & 25% off everything else! (Use code CM2015)</b></span></div>

She is taking them to her preschool class on Monday and she gets pretty darn jazzed about bringing treats to school. They are pretty much your every day rice krispie treat with orange food coloring -- easy peasy. ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />INGREDIENTS<br />3 Tbsp. butter<br />½ tsp. vanilla extract<br />red & yellow food coloring or orange gel coloring<br />5-1/2 cups mini marshmallows<br />6 cups crispy rice cereal<br />mini tootsie rolls<br />green frosting</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RECIPE:<br />In a large saucepan, melt and slightly brown butter on medium heat. Add vanilla extract and marshmallows. Stir until marshmallows are completely melted. Add food coloring until desired orange color is reached. Add cereal and stir until completely combined. Turn off heat and let sit for a few minutes, until cool enough to handle. When mixture has cooled enough, spray your hands with cooking spray and mold cereal mix into circles. Unwrap about 14 tootsie rolls and pop them in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Cut them in half lengthwise and shape into stems. Once they are shaped how you want them, pop them in to the freezer for a few minutes so they get hard again. Once they are hard, push them into the top of the pumpkins to make stems. Make some green frosting and use a leaf tip to make leaves.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made my pumpkins rather small, so the recipe make about 28 mini pumpkin treats.</span></div>

Spaceballs is D-O-N-E. This renovation was the hardest project
we have ever completed. It was three solid months of Logan working on the camper
every weekend and until 2am on many week nights and me watching our kids by
myself while sewing curtains, working with talented individuals
to get parts of the camper done that we felt we could not DIY, and working with
wonderful sponsors to get this project completed. Let<span style="font-family: "ms 明朝" , "serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>s
just say we love it, it is OUR hard work, we learned a heck of a lot about old
vehicles, and we are OH SO HAPPY it is done. ;)<o:p></o:p></div>

When we first bought Spaceballs, we knew it would be a job
to renovate her, but we didn<span style="font-family: "ms 明朝" , "serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>t really understand how
big of a job it would actually be. So, if you are thinking about doing something
like this, let me tell you – it isn<span style="font-family: "ms 明朝" , "serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>t easy. At least it wasn<span style="font-family: "ms 明朝" , "serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>t
for us. Spaceballs is 43 years old and every time you are working on something
that old, you are going to run into issues. As soon as you start peeling back
the layers, you find more and more work that needs to be done. I am not going
to lie, there were times when we wanted to set her on fire, throw in the towel,
and just be done. I am so incredibly proud of Logan for sticking to it. We are
both relatively handy, but know little about trucks or campers. Let<span style="font-family: "ms 明朝" , "serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>s
just say there was a whole lot of googling, youtube video watching, a few
life-lines to more experienced individuals, and swearing along the way. ;)<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
But, WE DID IT and we are so excited for the memories we are
going to create in it with our family. We had a neighborhood camping trip
planned for the end of July and we really wanted to use it. Looking back now, I
am so happy we had a deadline because I am pretty sure we would still be
working on her if it weren<span style="font-family: "ms 明朝" , "serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>t for that. At the time of the
camping trip she was about 95% done and since then, we have completely finished
her up. The camping trip was so much fun and everything on the camper worked! I
remember pulling away from our house, kids all bucked in the dinette seat
thinking, <span style="font-family: "ms 明朝" , "serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">“</span>I can<span style="font-family: "ms 明朝" , "serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>t believe we did it and it
is actually working!<span style="font-family: "ms 明朝" , "serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">”</span> Since then Logan has taken it four
hours up north on an ATV trip and it ran great. (Thank God!)<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">BUNK BED: Through Facebook, we found a family in Northern
Wisconsin that has a 1974 Starcraft Starcruiser. They had different plans for
theirs that involved removing the back bunk to create a different sleeping
arrangement and ours was missing the bunk. They were going through Madison on
their way to see family and stopped by our house so we could trade their bunk
bed for our rear couch cushions. The original design
of our model was to have bench seating in the back that then pulled out into a
bed. We decided to put in a double mattress to create a permanent sleeping
area, so we no longer needed the cushions. They used the vinyl from our old
cushions to patch areas of vinyl in their camper. It all worked out great!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">* </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The bed is stored tight to the ceiling when driving and then
lowers down when it needs to be used. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The bunk was not a standard size, so finding a mattress and sheets for it was a bit of a challenge. We finally found what we needed on Amazon. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCZ0XBM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01" target="_blank">Mattress</a> / <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PJ3CKGA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00" target="_blank">Sheets</a> </span></div>

ENGINE COVER: We hired a local woodworker to remake the engine
cover. It used to just be a plywood hump covered with carpet. We had him remake

To say our family is loud might be the understatement of the year! :) Here are a few pictures of the day!<br />

If
you have been following this blog for a while, you know I rarely shy to the
challenge of a good DIY project. This entire camper is one GIANT ball of DIY
projects with a new <s>disaster</s> challenge at every turn. The further we get
into it, the more lovely DIY projects present themselves. The camper cushions,
much like the sealing of the windows, was just a job we were not about to take
on. I can handle the curtains, but I decided to leave the cushions to the
professionals and I am so happy I did.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">I
chose to work with Cindy’s Custom Interiors out of McFarland, WI. These days
stellar customer service is hard to come by and the quality of goods just seem
to decline (we all know things aren’t made like they used to be.) It is so rare
to find a business like Cindy’s. She sells high quality, beautifully crafted,
custom window fashions, upholstery, and slip covers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Cindy’s
level of customer service is top notch. When I first walked into her shop, I
had no idea what to expect. She took the time to explain why the cushions
needed to be made a certain way (her knowledge is invaluable), she let me show
her my many Pinterest boards, her interior decorator, Toni, took the time to
look through (what seemed like hundreds) of fabric swatches until we landed on
the perfect one, and she even took me into her workshop where we marked off how
thick I wanted the white stripe down the center of my cushions to be and a few
other specifics of the job. Basically, she took the time to listen to me, ask
questions, and make sure she knew exactly what I wanted. As I was looking
through fabric swatches with Toni, I watched as customers came in with their
different projects and how genuinely excited Cindy she seemed about every
single one. She treated each one of her customers just as she had treated me. I
could tell she loved what she did for a living and that I love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">I
have such admiration and respect for female business owners. So naturally, I
asked Cindy a bazillion questions while I was there. As I was leaving she asked
me if I wanted to come back and watch her make one of my cushions and I, of
course, jumped at the chance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">When
I arrived back at her shop a few weeks later, she had everything done except
one cushion. I sat with her in her shop for about an hour as she put together
my last cushion and told me all about her business. She told me how she started
her business in 1986 in an old shed with $500, a borrowed air compressor, a sewing
machine on credit and a whole lot of hope. She told me how her business grew,
went through ups and downs, and her plans for the future. I listened and watched
as she effortlessly put together my last cushion like she could do it in her
sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">I
met Cindy’s father who they all call ‘Dad’ or ‘Too Tall’ – the nickname he got
years ago while working at the Green Lantern Restaurant and Bar in McFarland.
He stands at an impressive 6’4” tall and had to always duck under the potato
chip rack that hung overhead. His real name is Richard and he helps Cindy
around the shop. Cindy told me <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“every
small business needs a retired Dad” </i>and I couldn’t agree more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">At
one point or another, I met all of Cindy’s employees - most of which are family
and the others who might as well be family. Everyone was delightful, even the
shop dog, Hunter, who welcomes everyone with kisses and his half inflated
soccer ball.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">If
you are thinking of giving new life to an old piece of furniture or getting
custom window treatments, I would highly recommend visiting Cindy and her
wonderful employees in her adorable little shop. They are hard working people
who know their business inside and out.</span></div>

Sorry it has been a while since our last Spaceballs update, but we are so busy in the summer that it leaves little time to work on the motorhome or post about it. We are actually home this weekend, so we are excited about getting some more work done on it!<br />

There are a few things you have to consider when renovating a camper that are different than renovating a home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>#1 - Weight - it matters.</b> The motor is designed to pull a certain weight, so we cannot just load it full of whatever we want. The heavier it is, the lower our gas mileage.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>#2 - Temperature - it gets real cold in Wisconsin. </b>The motorhome will be stored in a shed throughout our sub-zero Wisconsin winters. We have to take this into consideration when choosing things like paint, sealer, flooring, etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>#3 - Movement - it rides like a bus.</b> This thing is not a smooth ride. It rides just like a school bus. That means there is lots of movement. We have to keep this in mind when rebuilding cabinet space and picking flooring that isn't too rigid.<br />

<b>Here is where we are at so far:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- <b>Had all windows professionally resealed.</b> Still looking into getting one rear window and one windshield window replaced at some point due to moisture between the laminate and glass. More on that <a href="http://whatsupwiththebuells.blogspot.com/2015/05/spaceballs-motorhome-part-2.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- <b>Pulled up and removed not one, but TWO layers of shag carpet.</b> A lovely lime green and a gross brown color. The green was the original, of course. Seriously, who puts carpet in a camper??? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- <b>Pulled all staples (two layers of carpet worth)</b> from the floor that held the carpet in place. This might be the most awful job I have ever had to do. That is why I put in maybe an hour and a half and Logan put in probably 8+ hours. Thank God that part is over. We were happy to find that the subfloor was in good shape with minimal water damage! We are pretty sure this camper was stored indoors most of it's life and that is why it is in such good condition for being 43 years old.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- <b>Removed everything we possibly could.</b> We were able to remove both dinette benches, the table, all drawers, doors, cabinets, kitchen sink, backsplash panel behind the sink, and the accordion door that closes off the back half of the camper. We were not able to remove the unit that holds all the kitchen drawers and sink. The screws are pretty tight in place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- <b>Coated the entire floor in <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/KILZ-MAX-1-gal-White-Water-Based-Interior-Primer-Sealer-and-Stain-Blocker-L200201/203165636?N=5yc1vZ3myZar2d" target="_blank">Kilz</a></b> from Home Depot.

- <b>Lightly sanded and painted all of the cabinets white. </b>At first we were unsure of what type of paint to use so we talked to the paint specialists at Home Depot. Let's take a minute to talk about the super-helpful employees at Home Depot. They are just that - super helpful. They know their products inside and out and are more than happy to help. They suggested we use <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-MARQUEE-1-gal-Ultra-Pure-White-Semi-Gloss-Enamel-Interior-Paint-with-Primer-345001/204747524?N=5yc1vZc2l" target="_blank">Behr Marquee</a> outdoor paint in semi-gloss because the the camper will be stored in sub-zero temps. See #2 above. We decided on the color <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-MARQUEE-1-gal-MQ3-45-Looking-Glass-Semi-Gloss-Enamel-Interior-Paint-345001/204847611" target="_blank">Looking Glass</a> and a semi-gloss finish that would make it easier to clean when our kids put their little sticky s'mores hands all over them! </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- <b>Picked out and ordered flooring and carpet.</b> Man was this was a decision! I spent way more time than I would like to admit researching the perfect flooring. <i>More on this in another post.</i> Our flooring order should be in this week. I cannot wait to get it in!<br />
<br />
- <b>Removed old curtains, seam ripped the tracking off of them, and measured them to buy fabric to make new curtains.</b> I will make another post just on the curtain refashion. I haven't gotten there quite yet. :)<br />

<b>- Cut and laid down a new subfloor</b> over the old subfloor that has been coated with Kilz. We used <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-Underlayment-Common-7-32-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-Actual-0-196-in-x-48-in-x-96-in-431178/203183010" target="_blank">Luan board</a> from Home Depot. We cannot glue and staple down the subfloor until we have patched a part of the fiberglass floor that exposed after ripping out the front step. <i>More on this in another post.</i><br />
<br />
Our goal is to have the camper sleep-ready by the end of July. We have a neighborhood camping trip planned and we would really love to use it! There is no way it will be completely done by then, but hopefully done enough to sleep in. I honestly do not know if it will be though. Renovating an RV has proven to be an extremely long process that requires a lot of hard work.<br />

I am a big fan of planning special surprises for special days, but let's be honest - planning special surprises takes time and that is one thing a few of us run short on. So, here are a few ideas for the Wisconsin Dad - some that take time and planning and some that just require pulling out the credit card and clicking 'submit order'.<br />

TEN: Make him a simple video in iMovie. Here is the video I made for Logan on Father's Day two years ago. I wish I had the time to make him one every year. Since we went from one kid to two, these types of surprises have become a little less possible. That might explain why Ellis has a two volume baby book and I have only made milestone notes in my iPhone so I remember them when I actually get around to making him a baby book. Fingers crossed it actually happens. :/<br />

We decided to have all the windows professionally resealed after watching countless youtube videos of how to DIY it. With the size of the windows, it was one thing we were just not going to tackle. The shop told us it took five guys to take out each window. Yikes!<br />
<br />
It turns out the rear window glass has a bad seal after 43 years and is getting moisture between the panes, so we eventually need to look into replacing it. Logan has already started to work with a glass company out of Mt. Horeb to get a new one made and installed. For now, the windows are resealed, so at least there will be no leaks.<br />
<br />
Now before I go any further, when I say 'we' when talking about renovating the camper, I really mean Logan. I will help when and where I can and trust me, I always have an opinion on how things should be done, but really the credit for most of our home projects goes to him. We are trying to make all the decisions on things like flooring, countertops, paint colors, etc. together and we do not always see eye-to-eye on this type of thing, but after a few good bickering sessions, we always land on a decision we find mutually acceptable. Truth is Logan would like everything to stay brown and olive and I much prefer white with pops of color. Logan would like a hippie van. As I am all down with the hippie vibe, it still needs some brightening up! ;)<br />
<br />
Anyways, here are the 'before' pictures so many of you wanted to see! Like I said, it is for the most part a time capsule from 1972. Only a few things have been changed up on the inside. The previous owners put in a new refrigerator, toilet, and air conditioner. They also took out the bunk bed that was above the bed in the back. We plan on putting one back, but that is a topic for another blog post.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I took the kids to the lake all day and Logan spent the entire day working on the camper. He took everything out that he could and ripped out all the flooring - two layers of carpet. The original shag and some other gross stuff that was laid on top. We were not sure what we would find under the carpet, but to our surprise, we found a plywood floor that has practically no rot! We have to replace a few small boards, but that is all. Today we will take turns pulling staples from the floor. YAY! ;)<br />
<br />

<br />
I am so fortunate to have Fridays off with my kids! Better yet, all three of my sisters-in-law have off Fridays as well! We usually go to the park and have a picnic, go to the zoo and have a picnic, or go to the splash pad and you guessed it, we have a picnic! ;) I think we all love picnics so much b/c we don't have to clean up all the crumbs. ;)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Recently, JJ Cole reached out to me to review one of their diaper bags as well as their great picnic blanket. Up until this point we had two diaper bags. One that was super useful, but semi-ugly, and one that was super cute, but just a little too small. For picnics we used my old bedspread from college that was huge, puffy, and less then convenient. Needless to say, I was so excited to review these two staple items!<br />

I chose the <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=50757076&cp=&parentPage=search" target="_blank">caprice bag</a> in heathered grey and I LOVE it! It is the prefect size for all the stuff I need to pack for two kids, it has lots of compartments (inside and out), loops that attach right to your stroller handles (when you don't have room in the basket below) and it is super cute! Yup, a win all around!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I chose the <a href="http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/jj-cole-reg-all-purpose-outdoor-blanket-in-prairie-blossom/1043234097?Keyword=jj+cole+blanket" target="_blank">outdoor blanket</a> in prairie flower and it works great. It EASILY (yes, that is key!) folds down into a rectangle that ends up serving as a bag with a little pouch and a handle. It is waterproof and comes in some really fun prints. It would make a great baby shower gift. I can't wait to use it at <a href="http://www.wcoconcerts.org/performance-listing/category/concerts-on-the-square" target="_blank">Concert on the Square</a> this summer!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

And just for fun, I have included a little free printable that I use as reference when packing Ellis' lunch for school. It is pretty much like packing a picnic every day b/c they do not microwave anything at her school making it a 'cold' lunch. I am totally inspired by my sister-in-law who, in my mind, is a picnic packing pro! I love to look at this lunch planning sheet before I go to the grocery store b/c sometimes I run out of ideas or it just makes me realize I have been sending her raspberries every day for weeks and maybe I should grab some oranges instead. :) I made sure to leave a few blank lines so you can write in some of your own ideas as well!<br />

We bought her exactly one month ago today, on our daughter's 3rd birthday. Our plans were to go buy Ellis a mini trampoline for her birthday that day, but instead, we came home with SPACEBALLS. Yes, I know... Just what every three year old dreams of. ;)<br />

Logan and I have always wanted to buy an old camper and fix it up. We have casually trolled Craigslist, window shopped at our local RV dealerships, and definitely stopped a time or two when we saw one on the side of the road with a big FOR SALE sign in the window, but we never actually pulled the trigger. We came close to it last summer when we looked at a 1957 Streamline trailer, but decided against it for a few reasons.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One night, on a whim, Logan decided to take a look on Craigslist and happened to find Spaceballs posted just a few hours before he came across it. He showed me the post and I said to call about it in the morning just to find out a little more. He called at 9am the next morning and found out it was owned by a mechanic in Watertown, WI. He had done quite a bit of work on it and from the pictures, it looked like it was in excellent condition. So we packed up the kids and headed to Watertown. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Long story short - we looked at it, took it for a test drive, asked the guy who owned it a bajillion questions, basically looked at each other and said "Are we crazy?!!!" and figured, well... if not now, then when? We have always wanted to do this, so WE DID! We both get a bit nervous about this stuff. I mean who really knows? The transmission could have gone out on the ride home and there we would have been with a big mustard yellow bus that we needed to pour thousands of dollars into. A mean 'Buyer Beware" is a real thing, and neither of us know the first thing about fixing up old vehicles. We were way more excited about renovating the inside. That being said, we felt much better about our purchase knowing it was perviously owned by a mechanic who did the following:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="p1">
- Swapped and rebuilt Chrysler/Dodge 440 V8 Engine with performance headers (5 years ago) with about 2,000-3,000 miles on it</div>
<div class="p1">
- Transmission rebuilt last year</div>
<div class="p1">
- Performance Overdrive added last year (auto and manual switches)</div>
<div class="p1">
- 2 new fuel tanks (55 gallon in the front, 25 gallon in the back)</div>
<div class="p1">
- 2 new fuel pumps</div>
<div class="p1">
- 7 new tires (including 1 spare)</div>
<div class="p1">
- 2 new batteries</div>
<div class="p1">
- New clean water holding tank</div>
<div class="p1">
- New black/grey water tank</div>
<div class="p1">
- All new brakes</div>
<div class="p1">
- All new brake lines</div>
<div class="p1">
- Newer Generator with only 80 hours on it</div>
<div class="p1">
- New A/C unit</div>
<div class="p1">
- New Refrigerator</div>
<div class="p1">
- New easy flush toilet</div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">- 2 new </span>MaxxAir ZERO-LEAK Rain or Shine Vent Covers and Fans</div>
<div class="p1">
- LCD Flatscreen TV and Mount</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Our camper is currently at Camping World getting all of the windows professionally resealed and we should have it back next week. We had it's 45 point safety inspection done and all we had to do was replace two lightbulbs. I CANNOT wait to get it back so we can start renovating and post some pictures of the inside. The interior is pretty much a time capsule - untouched since the 70s. Our first job on the list is to rip out the shag carpeting and replace it with some other type of flooring. We are currently researching all different flooring options. We want something lightweight, somewhat flexible, durable, and of course, completely unique. That last one is my request. Most of the really cool vinyl flooring is either unavailable in the U.S., extremely expensive, or the companies only sell to businesses. We have yet to land on the perfect flooring option. Our renovation goal is to find a good balance between style and function.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Stay tuned for interior pictures and updates as we go. My guess is it will cost more than we budgeted and take more time than we had expected. These type of projects always do! ;) </div>

Probably because I try and focus more on heathy recipes and this isn't exactly health food. It may not be overly healthy, but it is dang good - like the absolute best french toast bake you will ever have! I first had this recipe four years ago when I went to my friend's house to visit her after her baby was born. It was amazing and I had to have the recipe. I have made it for every Mother's Day brunch, bridal shower and baby shower I have thrown ever since. Every time I make it, at least a half dozen women ask me for the recipe. THAT is how you know you have a good recipe worthy of making for every special occasion! What I love about it (besides the fact that I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner) is that it is cheap and super easy. I whip it up the night before so all I have to do in the morning is sprinkle on the topping and bake it for an hour.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ingredients:</div>
<div>
1 loaf french or sourdough bread (or leftover bread/buns of any kind)<br />
<div>
8 eggs</div>
<div>
2 cups milk</div>
<div>
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream</div>
<div>
3/4 cup sugar</div>
<div>
2 tablespoons vanilla</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Topping:</div>
<div>
1/2 cup all purpose flour</div>
<div>
1/2 cup brown sugar</div>
<div>
1 teaspoon cinnamon</div>
<div>
1 stick cold butter - cut up into pieces</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Grease a 9x13 pan with butter. Tear apart bread into chunks and distribute in pan. Mix together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, & vanilla. Pour over bread, cover & store in refrigerator for several hours or overnight.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add butter pieces and cut into dry mixture until mixture resembles fine pebbles. Store in a ziplock bag in refrigerator.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next morning (or after it has sat for several hours) preheat the over to 350 degrees. Sprinkle on topping and place in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes for a soft, bread pudding like texture and bake for one hour for a firmer, less liquid texture.<br />
(I bake mine for about 50 minutes)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Drizzle some pure maple syrup on top and serve.</div>
</div>

It just doesn't seem possible!<br />
<br />
Last weekend our family, along with Logan's sister's family, joined forces to throw a big birthday/Easter celebration. We celebrated Ellis' 3rd birthday and Finn's 6th birthday. I am a sucker for a good party theme, so we went with animals in party hats and all things Easter. We had tons of yummy food, a bounce house, an egg hunt, and a visit from the Easter Bunny himself! Let's just say Ellis slept like a log that night. A bounce house and all her cousins make for a very crazy day! :)<br />
<br />
Between our two kids and all of Logan's sibling's kids, there are eight kids - all six years and under. One of our family traditions in to take 'couch pictures' where we line all the kids up on a couch, either stick bunny ears or Christmas jammies on them and snap hundreds (no joke) of pictures until we think we may have gotten one where every child is looking. There is usually at least one child who has expired and is completely losing it and at least one who WILL NOT sit no matter what. It is kind of hilarious. For the picture below we added in Logan's cousin's two kids. So here they are, five girl bunnies and five boy bunnies. ;)<br />

I decided to design a cute little packet to put the 'magic' beans in and turn it into a free printable so you guys can do it with your kiddos as well! I have so many memories as a kid getting so excited about the magic of the holidays. This is just another tradition to make Easter even more magical than it already is.<br />

Nope, these baby blues provide me with 20/20 vision! Seeing so many girls who look just plain adorable in their little black specks (my best friend being one of them) has secretly given me glasses envy. That being said, I jumped at the chance to try a pair from <a href="http://firmoo.com/">firmoo.com</a>.<br />

<div>
Don't get me wrong, I am happy that I do not actually HAVE to wear glasses, but it has been fun getting to try a pair and wearing them as more of an accessory!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My only experience buying glasses has been sunglasses and because I have a long, narrow, and somewhat square face it is always a bit of a struggle. Most glasses are quite wide for my face, so when I put them on, they go way too far out on the sides. Logan bought me a pair of Ray-Bans last summer and he had to get the special 'thinner' ones so they would look normal on my face. So when I went on <a href="http://firmoo.com/">firmoo.com</a> to pick out a pair, I had to pay real close attention to the width of the frames to make sure they were narrow enough for my face. All of the measurements are clearly shown, the pictures are great, but what I really love is the pictures of (non-model) women wearing them.<br />

<br />
<br />
So, I ordered my glasses and they shipped right away. They came in this great little case with a cleaning cloth. Now, since I do not actually NEED glasses, I am not about to spend an arm and a leg on fake ones. Firmoo.com is more than fairly priced AND if you are a new customer, you get <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/z/new-50-off.html" target="_blank">50% off your first pair</a>!<br />
<br />
So go check them out! I love mine so much I made this my profile pic! ;)<br />

I just found out the other day that I could send Ellis to daycare
with treats for the kids. For some reason I thought I wasn<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>t
allowed to b/c of food allergies, but it turns out none of the kids in her
class have any food allergies! </div>

Ellis loves to watch and help me bake, so I
figured it would be a fun Sunday afternoon activity for us to make some a St.

class. Now of course I have to try and healthy everything up and let<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>s
be honest, I can sometimes get a little carried away. I once made deviled eggs
with greek yogurt for a family event and my brother in law will not let me
forgot how awful they were. Lol <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyways, I wanted them to be at least a little healthy, but
I also wanted the kids to actually eat them, so I made a healthier version of
rice krispies treats. What kid doesn<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>t love rice krispies
treats? Ok, what adult doesn<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>t? Yeah, they are yummy!
I took out the butter and marshmallows and added natural peanut butter,
flaxseed meal and honey! Now they are by no means health food, but they are a
heck of a lot more nutritious than the classic version.<o:p></o:p></div>

Yes, I actually have a process. I like interior design, but I LOVE interior design on a dime. Anyone can buy adorable things from PB kids, spend a fortune and have it look amazing, but it takes a bit more work, effort and an eye for what you like to pull it together on a dime. Not that there is anything wrong with buying from PB kids (their stuff is to die for) but I just have so much fun treasure hunting and finding unique pieces to decorate with - plus we are the Buells - we love a deal. ;)<br />

Seriously... I crack myself up! ;)<br />
<br />
One night I got it in my mind that I wanted to design some free printable valentines so I sat down and I designed all eight of them in one night. So here you go - the last valentine of the year. I had so much fun designing these and putting them together!<br />

I have been a bit busy with freelance work and the five million other things I currently have on my plate, but I am trying to get all my free printable valentines posted for you all a good week or so before Valentine's Day! :)<br />
<br />
I got these ADORABLE little mini owl erasers in the dollar section at Target. 60 for a buck! Now that makes for affordable valentines! I found them a few weeks ago, so they might be hard to find. If you plan on making these, I would call Target and ask if they are available in their dollar section and if not, ask if they plan on getting any more in. I hope they continue to restock. They are just too perfect to valentines!<br />

You can use any chapstick you want though! <a href="http://www.lipsmacker.com/" target="_blank">Lip Smackers</a> would also be super cute!<br />
<br />
I used <a href="http://www.consumercrafts.com/store/details/catalog/scrapbooking-paper-punches/uchlv-gcp65" target="_blank">this 3" paper punch</a> from Consumer Crafts. It adds a little extra pizzazz to the valentines and it sure does make the project go fast! :)<br />
<br />
Simply print, punch out the valentines, and attach the ChapStick with some hot glue. It will easily peel right off.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here is the story about this frozen yogurt Bark recipe - I had a giant container of Stonyfield vanilla yogurt that was about to expire, so I figured I better figure out how to use it without making smoothies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. :)</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here is how you do it:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>1. Pour yogurt</b> (greek, regular, whatever you have) <b>on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2. Sprinkle on topings</b><br />
IDEAS: <br />
Berries (dried or regular) – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, cranberries, etc.<br />
Nuts – pistachios, pecans, almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc.<br />
Other ideas – cinnamon, shredded coconut, granola, dark chocolate, honey, etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3<b>. Freeze</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Once frozen, <b>break apart and freeze</b> in an air-tight container. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I got the glow stars from the dollar section at Target, but you can buy them pretty much anywhere. I made four valentines out of one pack of stars - so that's only 25 cents per valentine! The bags I used were 4"x9", but as long as the bags you use are 4" in width, you should be good to go! 4" is a common size, so they should be easy to find. I had these ones just laying around the house. I believe they were from Michael's years ago.<div>
