March 4, 2011 AT 3:32 pm 31 Comments

I am so excited to share this video with you!!

If you are reading this post through an email, please click on the title to view this video on my blog.

I really want you to see all the hard work that has gone into making our Mud/Laundry Room.

And I want to thank my husband who built the whole thing by himself.  I know, ladies….I am blessed!!!

It has been so much fun to see this whole room come together.  Thank you for your encouragement along the way!

I also wanted to take a minute to say Happy Birthday to my precious mother.

I miss her so much!

My dad and I took flowers to her grave today.

Eli noticed the buttercups coming up.  Mom’s favorite.

 

I wish I could give her a big hug and tell her how much she means to me.

Thank you, Mom, for the love you showed me everyday.

Thank you for always pointing me to Jesus.

Thank you for teaching me there is more to this life than just living.

May the angels sing you the sweetest of songs today as you celebrate with the Father the greatest gift ever given…eternal life with Him.

I love you.

Linking to Just a Girl’s SAS Day!

    I really enjoyed your video! Your hubby did a fantastic job on your new laundry room. And your seeing adorable kids at the end was a special treat.
    Happy Birthday to your Mom! My Mom passed away on St. Patrick’s Day 20 years ago this month. Moms are so special they will always be in our hearts.

  4. Lesley says:

    How beautiful! It was great to see all the progress in video. My favorite part, of course, was the end–you have such cute boys!

    Oh my goodness, i’m crying and clapping watching your kiddos put their coats and backpacks up! You can tell them I said so. :) Honestly, it’s these sweet moments that make beautifying your home with a purpose totally worth it! Congratulations. And a very Happy Birthday to your sweet mom. I know it can’t be easy but celebrating her life is the best gift you can give her. Hugs!

    I am SO SO jealous of your beautiful and very functional mud room. How lucky are you to have those men build you such a grandious space?!? Happy Birthday to your mother too, beautiful tulips. :)

    Traci,
    AMAZING! Neat video of the coming together of your utility/mud room.
    Fantastic.
    You two make a great team.

    God bless and comfort you with missing your Mom.
    Always in your heart, just a thought away and rejoicing in Heaven…where you will see her again one day. Joy unspeakable!!!

    Singing her Happy Birthday and eating a cupcake in her honor would be sweet,

      Cyndi, I just saw what you wrote on Traci’s blog. Get used to it! She needs some eye candy on her blog and I am just that. I might just get my own show out of this thing. It’ll be called “Home Improvement by a Hunk.” Love, Cy

  14. Jess says:

    Traci, I have loved watching your mud/laundry room come together. I am going to get lumber to start mine tomorrow. You have totally inspired the colors for mine. But since we aren’t even in the same state, I don’t think anyone will know. LOL

  15. Looks wonderful!!

    I just loved the video and the room is beautiful. The music was perfect. Your adorable little ones at the end made me smile & tear up a bit since mine are all grown-up & on their own – how I miss those home from school smiles and talks.

    Happy Birthday to your Mom. I am sure she is watching over you and your beautiful family. My Mom has been gone 14 years and I still think of her everyday.

  19. Angie K says:

    Absolutely love your mudroom! Your boys are so cute…video is perfect!

  20. Wow Traci, that turned out fantastic. I love the color you chose for the room as well. I’ve often wondered how I could do an enclosed laundry room for my mother in her garage, and your solution is perfect for her situation. Great husband you have there!

    What a sweet sentiment to your mother. I cannot even begin to imagine how I would cope with losing my mother. I’m sitting here crying just thinking about it. Your continued tributes to her memory are so honorable. The way you continue to show your love of Christ is inspiring too.

    ….and those boys of yours are pinch-your-cheeks adorable!

  21. Tracey says:

    I loved seeing your boys at the end of the video. And your precious Dad putting flowers on your moms grave, well that about did me in. Love you.

    Love you girlfriend.

    You are my newest hero! We are submitting a contract on a house today that we LOVE but we really wanted a mud room and it doesn’t have one but it does have an extra large garage. This is PERFECT!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
