Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry. One of the previous owners had installed built-in shelves, but they were starting to sag and had no adjustability. The shelves were stationary and couldn’t move up or down. Some of them were super deep
Who’s Been Here?
I saw this a few weeks ago and had to laugh. This isn’t EXACTLY how it occurs in my house. Poor Andy usually doesn’t even get a chance to ask those questions. I’m guessing I’m usually barking stating a million orders directions before he even gets a chance to think of anything to
My Little Buddy
This little guy is so sweet and just cracks me up. He is also “Buddy” at home. Although, I do think Stella and Charlotte both realize now that his real name is Henry. The only bummer is that he HATES smiling for the camera. He usually goes all grumpy-face on me. This morning I managed
I Love Painter’s Tape
Whenever I’m thinking about adding a new piece of furniture to a room or new artwork to a wall my husband hands me two items: a measuring tape and a roll of painter’s tape. I love painter’s tape. It’s a great way to outline and visualize something new. Furniture…how much floor space will it really
More Stuff Stella Said
She’s back…and funnier than ever. (Ok, I’m biased.) On Friday I put a dress on for work. You would have thought the girls only see me in sweats. I guess slacks and a top are just too boring for them. Here’s what Stella had to say. I took notes in the bathroom to make sure
More Hair Bows
I haven’t completed very many hair bows lately.However, I did come across some super cute cowgirl boot ribbon awhile ago. And I just “found” it again tonight. A little late for Stella’s birthday. But she’ll be surprised in the morning with this bow: And last month a neighbor needed something patriotic. I finished this, but
Trader Joe’s Follow-Up: More Things I Love
If you remember back to my first post about Trader Joe’s, you will remember that I LOVE the eggplant cutlets. And I even followed-up later that I still LOVED them after a few more meals. So those are definitely a freezer staple now and also have been the reason I went back to Trader Joe’s
Haute Toddy…You Gotta Get One!
My iPad screen is always a mess. And I have to say that the Toddy Smart Cloth is fabulous and well worth the cost (thank you co-worker). You can get them online in an awesome variety of styles. Me? I picked mine up in a 3-pack at Target (same price), so I’ve got the one
She’s BACK!
Ok, she’s been back a few days now, but I-gotta-admit, I had to see if it would stick. And so far, so good. You know you’ve missed her posts… My BFF is BACK. And, she’s got awesome news on the homefront. Now, mosey on over to her blog and give her some big
Stuff Stella Said
Stella just spent a few days with her cousins in Kentucky. Andy’s sister told me about this conversation: Aunt: Stella, are you ready to go home? Stella: Not really. But I guess my mom probably needs me. Aunt: Why? Stella: I help her with Charlotte and Henry. They are a handful. Cousin: And how do
