CNN's HLN Fire Pit Project Live on National Television

Today is the day!  The camera man and producer will be arriving at our house shortly.  I have cleaned and prepped everything I can. I have cleaned, and cleaned but there are still many things that need to be cleaned.  Everyone's wardrobe is selected.  All the tools are out that are needed for the project.  I should be ready right? I am so excited to be going this project with my friend Sarah from The Clerical Error.  I hope today will be fun and exciting for everyone.  We even get to have a camp fire as a treat at the end.  I know Sarah and I will have a good time and enjoy our day.  Right now I rather not complete this project with any other person. I have never dressed this nice, or put this much thought into doing a project at my house.  I don't normally put on make up to do yard work! :)  Sorry neighbors.  But this time we are inviting a few more people over for our backyard project. Goals of the Day:

1. Building a great fire pit
2. Enjoy the day and the process of tv
3. Have a fun day with my friend Sarah without our children
4. Spend time with our families and have a great camp fire

Those seem like attainable goals....right? Well the day is now over. I am very lucky to have such supportive friends and family.  Our husbands watched the kids for the day.  I got to spend time with my friend Sarah, filmed for tv, and got a fire pit out of whole thing! We have a party this Thursday that we can test the pit out again.  Here are some shots from the day.  I hope to do a future how to post on how to actually build your own pit.  I bet it will have an awesome video with the project too.  I will keep you updated with the air date. I think the project also proves that exciting things happen in life even when you become a Mom.  Please visit the Fire Pit Mood Board to see more.
