OK, it's been awhile since I pleaded for your help, but the time has come again... and you ladies always come through for me! So here it is: "WHAT do you look for in a baby monitor?" There are so many out there, and their price ranges very so widely, I'm just at a loss. Is a video monitor really necessary? What's this business about a motion sensor? Do some monitors get a clearer signal than ... [ Read More ]
Jane’s Backsplash
If you have ever overhauled your entire kitchen, you know how time consuming it can be, and frustrating dealing with contractors and such. It is said to be the most expensive room in a house to remodel. But Jane here knew that throwing a little paint around can make a dramatic difference for a fraction of the cost. Knowing that her cabinets were in decent shape (just a little outdated), she ... [ Read More ]
Homemade Baby Gifts
This past weekend, my mom threw me a baby shower. I was so blessed by all the women that came to show their love and shower our future babies with gifts!!! While we're so thankful for every gift, we can't feature every single one on the blog... but I really wanted to highlight some of the homemade gifts. Creating a gift with your hands adds such a special sentimental touch, and allows the receiver ... [ Read More ]
Chris’s Backsplash
Happy Monday! Did anything exciting happen this weekend? I painted a backsplash, attended my own baby shower, celebrated Easter by eating, finished the crib bumper, painted the nursery closet, and finished glazing and poly-ing a dresser we've been working on! Ambition can be good, but I'm sure my back will be cursing me for the early parts of this week.Let's get to the point here though... Chris's ... [ Read More ]
Garage Sale Finds
This past weekend, I was given the opportunity to nurture my illness and love for digging through other people's rejected items. Through the long winter, I've been restricted to thrift stores and craigslists... but Spring is here! And that means GARAGE SALES!!!Note: I'm aware that bargain shopping and the rush of getting a good deal is an early sign of hoarding. My girl Leah and I set out ... [ Read More ]

Sarah M’s Backsplash
Don't have lots of time this morning, so I've got a short and sweet one for ya! Sarah's kitchen is on the smaller side, but she knew that didn't mean it would have to look uninteresting. And she was so right. Between her vision and our stash of supplies and questionable skill, we created something custom and beautiful! Here's the before/after pics. And Happy Monday to you! ...

Nursery: Crib Skirt
So mi madre came down to the homestead for a little crafternoon. We got our craft on by throwing together a crib skirt for my little princesses! When buying fabric, I really thought I was getting a good deal... with my selections being on sale and all, not to mention the 40% off coupon I had. But fabric will still remain the most expensive element in the nursery. But you know? I'm ok with that. I ... [ Read More ]
Nursery: The Crib
From the very beginning, I knew for sure I wanted a Jenny Lind crib for the babes. I just love the detail. After being very patient, we finally found this crib on craigslist (for $40!!!)... how perfect?!Beings that it was built in 1985, we were thorough in our investigation regarding safety regulations... knowing we may have to perform some modifications. But it turns out that this baby meets all ... [ Read More ]
Fun weekend… Sad ending
We spend a fun-filled weekend in St. Paul, MN spending time with old friends and siblings, painting backsplashes and swimming at our hotel. And after the 4 hour drive home, we were approaching our house when we saw someone's hazzard lights blinking in the ditch. It was dark, and but we could tell the vehicle was upside down. My first instinct was that, since the hazards were on, it was probably an ... [ Read More ]
