It has taken me a year and a half, but I have finally finished my Favorite Things wall. OK, maybe not finished, but mostly filled up (I will squeeze more things in there if I can). Don't play semantics with me, I know these aren't all things, but some are activities, one is a weather... Continue Reading →
I have completed my first Pinterest worthy project. Brandon's room has a small nook between where his closet ends and the outside wall begins. One day, when he is in school, I will put his desk there. But until then, I have decided to fill it with his books.I love framed book covers. I didn't... Continue Reading →
Yes, like everyone else in the world, we had a brown house. Until yesterday. We are not beige people. Now our house reflects that.
Holden's room is finished! It was no easy feat.Here are the before and after photos. I picked the brightest red known to mankind and it took four coats to even out the brush strokes. I'm pretty proud of the end result, although the color is going to scare the beezezus out of a baby.

Brandon's reading corner. We must have read "Giggle Giggle Quack" a hundred times this weekend. I assembled the toy bins, then... Continue Reading →
Before: After: Steve and I had been planning and saving for a new roof. A roof is so expensive. We tried to get out of paying for it - a couple years ago, Steve called an insurance adjustor out, hoping that sometime in the past fifteen years there had been significant enough hail damage that...

Week one of being a working mother completed. I must say - it is exhausting. I wake up at 6am now. I shower, feed the baby, bathe and clothe him, groom and dress myself, eat breakfast, then drop him off at daycare. I go to work where I am frantically trying to learn my new... Continue Reading →
I covet furniture. My perfect date would be browsing Ethan Allen, eating some pasta, then finishing the night off with a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. I want to shove rich brown wood furniture into every crevice of my house; I want a place to sit against every wall. A nice desk has been on my... Continue Reading →
