REMODELING YOUR HOME WITH PINTREST


Home remodeling and redesigning parts of your home can be tricky. Luckily, we have apps like Pintrest to help us along the way! Pintrest is a great tool to find new ideas. You can easily browse through the app and find different ways of remodeling home and even narrow it down to what style you are trying to achieve.

Jordan and I started to remodel an old farmhouse, that use to be my grandparents, about a year ago. We are almost completely finished with the downstairs, but still have most of the upstairs to finish up. When looking for new ideas I often turn to Pintrest to find something that I like, and I feel like I can do. One of the main things I found out while using my Pins as a guide to my next project, is that as hard as you try you can never make your project look exactly like your pin.  This is not necessarily a bad thing though, sometimes it turns out even better than what you had hoped and strikingly unique!

Jordan and I's Island
Jordan and I's Island


When Jordan and I were remodeling our kitchen, we ended up with and extra bottom cabinet, and we knew that we wanted to make an island, so we went to Pintrest to find a way to incorporate it. The picture above is what our inspiration came from. We loved how the barn door looked, especially since we have an old farmhouse. We also really like the wood countertop on it as well. You can see what our island turned out like above. We still incorporated the barn door into our design, along with the butcher block as the countertop. We went with gray, since the rest of our kitchen is that color, nut we added a little shiplap to the backside to give it some character. Jordan and I were both really pleased with how it turned out!

If you are looking to start a project, from a pin on Pintrest, keep in mind that your project can look different and still look good. You can easily become frustrated if your focus to much on making something look exactly like a pin. Instead, work with what you have and give your project something different!

    I love Pinterest. I use it for so many things. I definitely think Pinterest is a great way to get organized and I will be using when I get a house to decorate. I also plan on using it for wedding planning somewhere down the line, as I already have multiple Pinterest boards for it!

Using Social Media to Find Gluten Free Recipes

Being gluten free can be difficult as it is, so why struggle to find things to make or eat. One of the most challenging things about being gluten free is finding a place to go out to eat at. Therefore, I often decide to stay in and make my own meal. Luckily, there are so many gluten free baking blogs and accounts on Instagram and other site, that it makes making your own meal so much easier. The thing about baking gluten free is that gluten free flour does not have the same elasticity as flour with gluten. When you look at a gluten free recipe you will likely see Xanthium Gum or other additives that create the elasticity, so your bread does not crumble as easily. Recently, companies have started to make gluten free flour that you can replace regular flour with one-to-one. This make a world of difference when you are converting a recipe to gluten free. I follow quite a few gluten free baking accounts on social media. Below I have compiled a list of my favorite accounts to find g

ALUMNI BASKETBALL GAME AT BUCKEYE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

On Feb. 24 th , I live-tweeted the boys alumni basketball game. There were two teams playing. Since the players only play for fun, they do not have actual team names. Instead they wore red and white shirts to distinguish themselves. I referred to the teams based on their shirt color throughout my tweets. The game was held at Buckeye Central High School in their gym.   It was a close game for most of the game, with lots of back-and-forth. The final score was 86 to 82, with the red team coming out on top! Both teams did an excellent job and had a great game! Congratulations to the Red Team! You can check out my live tweet by searching #AlumniBBall2020 on twitter or by following me on twitter @Lydia74353175.

TRAINING TO RUN A 5K

Running use to be something I always enjoyed doing. I was in cross-country, track, and always liked the conditioning part of basketball. Even after I was out of sports, I continued to run consistently up until last year. I am not sure why I stopped running I just ended up not running anymore. So, since my classes are all online now, I have no more excuses to not run. In order to keep motivated, I am running with my sister Paige and we set a goal that we want to complete a 5K without walking. Since we do not know when the next 5K will be because of COVID-19, we decided we would have our own 5K on May 1 st . We are training five days a week, Monday through Friday. We also made challenges for different days of the week, so we continue to challenge ourselves. One of our challenges is that we run as far as we can in one direction without walking. Then we are forced to either walk or run all the way back. This is something my coach use to do when I was in cross country, so that we
