I’ve been having trouble lately getting motivated to tackle house projects, so I thought I would try a new approach. I took all of the projects and broke them down into small geographic areas in the house. I will spend 15 minutes at one project per day. I thought posting on the blog would also [...]
We have plans to totally gut the bathroom and start again……in the meantime though I have been wanting, for some time, to improve matters in this rather small space. A $4.00 purchase and about an hour later the room looked much better. Bathroom Before Notice all of the stuff around the sink, the makeup on [...]
Wow! I just found another amazingly fun time suck–Polyvore. I’ve been wanting to redo the dining room set and love this farm table made from reclaimed wood. It is fun to shop when price is no object! Dining Room by jnanevans on Polyvore.com Items in this set: Cottage Style Faux Bamboo Bench – Layla Grayce, [...]
Just a quick post…. The main roads are clear around here, but there is still quite a bit of snow up at the house. So, I took advantage of both kids actually having nap time at the same time today (a rarity) to make some small adjustments in the kitchen. It’s striking how just changing [...]

I had forgotten but quickly remembered why this box has been sitting in the office for the last two years. It is full of photographs–random photographs.

Entrances to homes that is…should be clean and clutter free, right? There are four major entrances to our home. Strange, I hadn’t really thought about it until I started this project. Entrance #1Technically, this is the side entrance, but it is the one everyone uses. All those glass panes were what started this all. I [...]
Twelve days until I go back to work. I know about pregnancy nesting. There must be “going back to work” nesting as well. So far today I have: wiped down door handles and door frames cleaned the glass in the patio door made bread with LM organized the spices cooked a new recipe added additional [...]
I have been writing this post in my head for the last eight weeks. The title New Mom Necessities is a bit of a misnomer, really. Obviously, the only absolutely necessary items for a baby are some type of covering and food. These are things that I have found extremely helpful that may or may [...]
All I can say is “it is about time.” SRA Develops TV-Volume Leveler. I absolutely hate watching commercials, and I cannot stand how much louder they are than the television program. Also, why is it that all of the channels go to commercial at the same time? We have 100+ channels, and all of them [...]
