HGTV - come make our house beautiful!

I am a former teacher who now stays home with my two busy kids. I used to have an eye for design and truly LOVE decorating and keeping my space top notch. Since having kids I have lost ALL sense of style and neat nick personality. I am surviving the chaos and messiness of two kids under 5. I am crafty, funky, and silly by nature which involves putting mess before chores. I never want to be the mom that says no because it will make a mess. I love cooking a new recipe EVERYDAY day and involving my kids in the kitchen. My husband is a busy pilot whose life continues to get more and more interesting while I manage the PB&J's and dirty laundry. He owns the local flight school at the airport . It all started with a gift certificate 5 years ago for his first flight lesson and his charm and sense of adventure led him to owning the school 4 years later. He is a fantastic dad and LOVES to play with the girls when he gets home from an exciting day! Our PLAY constantly! They keep busy playing dress up, kitchen or dolls. Often the imaginary play adds to the mess and disorganization of the rooms of our house. They love to paint, craft and cook together. They are uber creative and never let reality slow them down. We spend the majority of our devoted family time camping, flying, or finding the next adventure. So, our intentions of home organization and improvement often gets left unfinished. We are in need of help!

We bought our home 5 years ago. We were expecting our first child and bought at the height of the market. We never intended to stay in our home forever but it seems we will be here for the long haul! We LOVE our house and are so grateful it has a lot of potential. We have completed some small projects on our own and LOVE the excitement of DIY. Since we will be living here until are girls are grown up into little ladies we enjoy making the BEST of our space. We feel we have some style in our rooms and have worked hard to improve the details where we can. We have a 4 bedroom single story house, 2700 square feet. Currently we are working on moving the girls into one bedroom so we can FREE up one room to be guest space and the last room to be a family play room. We have a a "formal living/dining" space and a great room with our kitchen and family room. Although I feel that our home is perfect place for us to raise our girls and enjoy the best life has to offer, I am frustrated that we have potential space that isn't being utilized well.

I am an avid HGTV viewer. I see our family as an average family who does incredible things. I like to show other families, like ours, you CAN still do things. We have traveled to 38 of the states with our girls, camping, road tripping, and traveling. Our older daughter has been to 8 countries and our youngest 2, including Europe and Australia. We enjoy family adventures and seeing what the world has to offer. We entertain a lot! Usually having whole families with kids over. We enjoy spending time as a whole family rather then kid time/ adult time. We are convinced our house can represent a style and design and STILL be kid friendly. The areas I choose to work on are areas that our WHOLE family use. Having Steve Watson and his team come and advise on what will meet our needs and then be able to help in the building and finishing of the project sounds like a great family adventure. If Steve could incorporate our kids, through the use of their artwork or ideas, that would be awesome! We are gracious hosts and love the opportunity to host HGTV at our home!
