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
The Simple Things: GOAL!
Saturday mornings are filled with soccer right now. Stella is still LOVING it. She scored a goal yesterday. Henry cheered for her throwing his hands in the air – GOAL! (And, no, Andy doesn’t normally wear a tie to the field… he unfortunately came straight from a funeral.)
The Hunger Games – This Saturday’s Shout-Out
Image Source During my blogging break I actually read a couple of books. I took The Hunger Games with me to Arizona. It deserved the hype. I felt it was an awesome read. Particularly since I’d read a bit and then go hiking. Andy would be all, “Isn’t this cool and remote and peaceful?” and I’d
Friday 7 Quick Takes
Don’t forget #6…it’s worth it. Unless you have only one kid. Then I probably offended you. I’m back. I’m tired. Shouldn’t a break from blogging, a vacation to Sedona, etc. have made me rested, refreshed, rejuvenated? Huh? Ha! My Charlotte has been in panties for an entire WEEK. YAY! And only 2 accidents at home
Random Updates before Arizona
Just a few random thoughts before I check out for our trip to Sedona… First, I really hope Charlotte is potty-trained when we return. But, what are the chances? Yes, you should not compare your children and timelines, etc. But, come on already! Her latest development is hiding when she poops. And below is where she
Checking In – Crafts, Messes, and Dresses
We’ve had a pretty busy week. I’ve definitely missed posting every day and have actually had some good topics to post about…so I’m taking notes. But it’s been nice to dedicate some time to other things. Such as sleep this order for a hair bow holder and a Green Bay korker bow and a Detroit
Top 10 Reasons for a Blogging Break
It may be time for a blogging break. So much is going on right now and I need to give myself permission to not worry about blogging…every day. It’s not like I do this for money! Whenever I skip a day blogging I feel a bit of angst. Anyone else experience that? Like all of you
The Third Kid Never Gets Treated the Same as the First
So I know y’all are expecting a great post about my baby boy turning ONE today. Um, not ready for that yet. But here’s a sneak peek photo of him absolutely LOVING the cake we had tonight. Things are just so different for us with baby #3 turning one. So low-key. I even had to
3 lbs of Egocentricity aka Dear Restoration Hardware
Dear Restoration Hardware, When I opened my mailbox today, I was shocked. What monstrosity did I find inside? Your catalog. Oh wait, even you aren’t calling it just that. It’s a “source book/magalog/catalog”. Even you aren’t sure what exactly to call it at 516 pages. Yep, FIVE HUNDRED sixteen pages. I thought Penney’s ended that era?
Whatcha Might Not Know…Oh Deer!
Having lived on a farm for a good part of my life, I was always unsure how I would really like living in the suburbs. Well, so far, so good. We live in an older neighborhood with big trees, woods in our backyard, and even occasionally see some awesome wildlife. It’s so much fun to
