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
#1 Reason to be on Twitter Monday Nights…Bachelor Tweets
I have watched the Bachelor in the past, but I am a non-loyal fan. I’ve watched a few seasons, but not all of them. I generally watch it on the DVR the next morning on the treadmill. And let’s just say the treadmill has been used more for collecting dust lately then for exercise. Hence,
Fighting the Nature-Deficit Disorder
Did you know that there is apparently something called Nature-Deficit Disorder? Seriously, it’s right HERE on wikipedia defined as the trend that kids are spending less time outside. I even received a free book on it once at a parenting conference, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. I haven’t read
I Weep for Our Future Due to Helicopter Parents
I TOTALLY understand that this just might be me in the future. But I am writing this now so that I can come back to it and realize how someday I’ll just need to LET GO as a mother and let my kids take some responsibility of their own when they become legal adults.
Feeddler…My New Favorite Thing

Friday Funnies
A few funnies for you today…including the pictures above. Yes, she is ALWAYS dressed like that at home. And yes, Henry is always looking at me like “You are not going to save me? You’re just going to take a photo? HELP!” Charlotte last night: I’ve got the hick-bugs. Followed by lots of hiccuping and
Valentine’s Decor Part 2: The Foyer Bathroom
A couple of days ago I shared with you the Valentine’s decor I added to our family room hutch HERE. And I warned you of more decor involving a toilet. Well, only because you can see the foyer bathroom toilet in the photos. I like to add a little decor in there depending on the
Whatcha Might Not Know…Christmas Pageant
So those of you who have been here awhile know from my long-time-ago post about 9 Truths and a Lie that I got to had to sing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” in a grade school production once. I even posted a picture HERE. Well, this morning as I was looking at the Nativity Scene I’ve
Valentine’s Decor Part 1: The LOVE Hutch
Here is our seasonal hutch all decked-out in LOVE for Valentine’s Day. I am suddenly slightly completely obsessed with free printables. I downloaded two for this project, printed them at Costco and framed them. This photo collage of the girls from a few years ago is an absolute favorite of mine. I loved taking
