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
7 Quick Takes Friday: First Edition
Can you even believe that this little baby is getting to be such a big guy? Here he is checking on his big sisters out the front door. He’ll be walking soon! I finally caught up-to-date over on House Unseen. It’s kind of weird. Unless I fall behind again, I’ll only be able to read one new post a day. Huh. In
Embrace the Camera – Monkey See, Monkey Do
One of the things I love about our daycare is that they often will take a picture for me of something fun or funny. Earlier this year Charlotte went through a bag-lady phase. Loading up all kinds of bags and carrying them around with her babies, stuffed animals, blankets, etc. It was quite hilarious to
Whatcha Might Not Know…Residence Life
Image Source Yep, I was one of them. An RA in college. For two years. And I’ve got to say…it’s awesome to be the one in charge. People made fun of me, but all I have to say is those that make the rules…often break the rules! HA! Definitely some of the best years of
When Sharks Attack

Dear Toyota
Image Source Dear Toyota, I’m not sure why the rear (second row) windows don’t roll all the way down. I even did a Google search, but didn’t come up with a really good answer. Some guess cost, some guess safety, some guess that AC is just too popular and no one cares. I care.
He Knows If You’ve Been Bad or Good
Recognize them? How about now: Image Source Can you even imagine being 4-years old and having a nice family lunch one summer afternoon and into the restaurant walks…Santa Claus? Followed by Mrs. Claus? I can only tell you that my Stella’s eyes got wide and she got close to me. Then Santa’s eye caught mine (and
Embrace the Camera – Charlotte
Oh Charlotte, you have been such a little angel with the absence of Stella this week. You have fought us on NOTHING. You’ve been sweet, using your manners, and such a helper. You have been trying to feed, soothe, and even bathe Henry at different times. I will miss the day you stop calling him
Ten on Ten – Wednesday at Work
Another Ten on Ten! And I remembered this month. I did a little practice in manual today. The kids weren’t so easy… Sweet Baby (Almost Big Boy!) Henry with food stuck in his teeth this morning Pouty Charlotte ready for her “Sissy” to come home from the grandparents’ Yum…Chai Tea. Gets me through my mornings.
