The Dream is Free, The Hustle Sold Separately

Apparently... when you live in the country, it's important to set fire to parts of your yard and ditch. I presume it's a desperate attempt for burly country menfolk to regain their manhood after many months of winter and idleness. And if it really makes the tall brushy areas of your acreage lush and green, why don't people just burn their whole yard and enjoy the beautiful thick green goodness?And ... [ Read More ]

Nursery: The chair situation

by

My most recent cry for help brought MANY blog stalkers out of hiding... giving an amateur like me priceless helpful advice that will not only save us $$$, but also likely keep me on the sane side of new motherhood in those crazy first months with the ladies. One major thing that I had been wondering about was a rocking chair. In hopes of tandem-breastfeeding, I know I'll be spending a LOT of time ... [ Read More ]

Nursery: The curtains

by

The truth is, even though we had chosen the "Mustard Yellow" as the base color for our unconventional baby girl x2 nursery, that's about where our inspiration ended, for a time at least. That is, until we fell upon this AMAZING Turquoise Damask Print on Amazon.com.Before you start hyperventilating and rocking back and forth mumbling how awesome this fabric is, you can buy some for yourself HERE. ...

Bummer.

by

Just last night I said to Nick, "do you think we'll get anymore snow?" It is the end of March, so I knew it was a legitimate possibility. Then I woke up to this:Though beautiful, it's just not an ideal sight when you've been dreaming of daffodils, BBQ's and croquet. ... [ Read More ]

Kim V’s Backsplash

by

This weekend, two things of interest happened:We painted two backsplashes. I biffed it on our concrete driveway carrying in groceries. Here's the story... On my 11th and final trip to the Jeep to get the last few bags, I grabbed two handfuls of bags and set one handful down on the driveway so I could close the trunk. And as I moved out of the way so the trunk wouldn't hit my head, I backed up ... [ Read More ]

I Remember

by

Its weird, because there are times when I allow myself to feel like a regular pregnant lady. Just another woman incubating a little human life. Like being pregnant is a completely natural gift to each woman. But then there are times when my heart aches for those that are still suffering, barren. I feel the two lives growing within me, and think about how unfair it is for me to have two... when ... [ Read More ]

Nursery: The paint job

by

Ok, so let's just say I'm really really excited about the progress that's been happening in the baby nursery. It hasn't been without some setbacks, and it's far from done... but seeing a little more progress each week is such a rush! Here is the nursery as it has been for the last 2 years, since we bought our home:A sad cave-like vacancy with startling similarities to my empty womb, I'd say. In ... [ Read More ]

And wouldn't you know it, we're going to craft today. Like we ain't never crafted before. Sewing to be more specific.But for now, the house is quiet and empty, except for the sound of the washing machine dishwasher. So I shall take this ... [ Read More ]

DIY Stenciled Rug Tutorial {Using Spray Paint!}

by

Yes it's true, I painted my rug yesterday whilst Nick was at work. I didn't tell him of my devious plan, because I knew the look he would give me. I don't recall how the idea came into my head. But I've been wanting a beautiful decorative area rug in the living room for quite some time now. I've even spent hours on overstock.com looking at all the different options, knowing we wouldn't have the ... [ Read More ]

Pure Nonsense

by

I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda down in the dumps today. Largely because I'm not scheduled to work at the clinic ALL WEEK, and I don't have any babies to play with during that time. I do however have a nursery to beautify, and it's not going well. I messed up big time yesterday. And I'm still sulking about it... and therefore, won't be showing any pictures of my mishap.I will however be amending the ... [ Read More ]
