Last week I picked up a few humongo monster windows from a church that was being renovated. I just couldn’t resist. Even though I could barely fit them into my little SUV (they were about 5 feet by 4 feet). Good thing the kids weren’t sitting in the car or they would have gotten squished. […]

Here goes another edition of What I Wore Wednesday. I didn’t get a lot of pictures this week because most of the time I was in elastic-waisted athletic shorts (but sadly, not doing anything athletic, unless you count painting and chasing after kids as being athletic) and a tank. Or I was in a swimming […]

A friend of mine asked me to make her a rustic sign with this quote “Those who admire the freedom of birds have never built a nest” for her home. I got it finished this weekend and thought I’d show you how I made it. The first step was to find some wood to use […]

I was in Target the other day looking at their throw pillows. I’ve been thinking about getting a couple of soft white ones, but at $12.99 a piece, I didn’t feel like I could justify it (although that is still a good price.). So I walked by the towel section and my brain started whirling. […]

Here goes another edition of WIWW – linking up to The Pleated Poppy’s linky party. It feels really weird having a post with just pictures of me and my ratty-tatty clothes, but whatever! I’ve found that maternity clothing overall just doesn’t fit me very well, so I usually wear “regular” tops that are a bit […]

I’ve been having so much fun working on this little boy room for the past few months! You’ll have to excuse the pics – the room doesn’t get much natural light and my camera isn’t exactly professional! I made a very conscious effort to re-do this room as inexpensively as possible. Most everything is second-hand […]

Last weekend I went on a quick trip to Ohio with my sister, mom, and my Avery to hang out with some family (my mom is from that area) and what a blast we had! Had brunch at this always-fabulous little bistro. I think I have over 80 cousins on my mom’s side of the […]

I’ve decided to join The Pleated Poppy in her “What I Wore” series. Not because I’m proud of my clothes. Or think I have a great fashion sense. THAT is laughable!! But I think it’s fun to see what other people are wearing, so I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring too. I […]

Have you heard of Leen the Graphics Queen? They have some awesome vinyl wall graphics in their shop! I was completely flattered when I got an email from Leen saying that they created a new product inspired by the painted lettering that I did in my nursery here. And here is the design that’s available […]

…an expert poo picker-upper, mom to two littles plus a bouncing one in the belly, and wife to one hard-working guy. I gotta warn you – my life is not very exciting, so you may be bored to tears! Let’s see what happens! Tuesday, July 6 7:00am – Wake up and hear Jack babbling in […]

I was just given a fun bloggy award by Michele at Faith, Trust, & a Little Pixie Dust. Thanks Michelle! So now I need to tell 7 little known facts about me. Here I go… 1. I married my first date, my first love, my first kiss. We are complete opposites, but somehow, it just […]

I promised to give you some sneak peaks of Jack’s nautical-inspired bedroom, so here you go! I’m not finished yet, but I’ll show you some of what I’ve been working on. This old, peely, chippy, blue wooden hook-thingy (aren’t I technical??) is what started it all. Literally. I bought it at a barn sale for […]
