If you know me at all, you know I'm not a planner. I get a certain thrill out of being spontaneous and impulsive. I don't need to know what comes next in life. But subconsciously, I've planned on one thing my whole life: one day I would have babies, lots of babies.I try not to be too cynical and negative on my blog, but I'm feeling a little hostile today. Hostile in such a way that I probably ... [ Read More ]
Kim’s Backsplash
Our new friend, Kim, found it necessary to spice up her already spicy 'Fat Italian Chef' themed kitchen by hiring us to paint her backsplash. I've been hoping and praying for quite some time for someone to be even more obnoxious than I, and feel the need to do something crazy with the colors of their backsplash. The reason for this is, in part, to see how awesome it looks. But also to show the ... [ Read More ]

Lazy
On this blustery spring day, I miraculously have the day off from work. It's a bizarre, confusing feeling. It feels so... wrong. To just be at home, on a Thursday, doing nothing. But alas, there is lots of things I should be doing. To name a few: shower/get dressed, laundry, dishes, weeding... and I really WAS planning on weeding today, but there are so many legitimate reasons not to ... [ Read More ]

Miles Away
Let's talk about Miles, because I miss this little tot like crazy. This photo has been on my computer desktop for some time now. When Nick and I are sitting on the couch watching TV, with the computer in eyesight, and I regularly say, "look at Miles. I love that guy." Nick get's tired of me saying it constantly.Miles and his mom and dad (my sister-in-law and older brother) are currently residing ... [ Read More ]

Disappearing Act
So last weekend, our boy Reuben disappeared for a couple days. And based on the fact that we haven't removed his man-business, his departure shouldn't have surprised us. Shockingly, I missed the little devil and legitimately worried about him. And then 2 days later, there he was in his doghouse when we came home from work, with an injured leg and tail. He was acting very weird and lethargic, ... [ Read More ]
Jill’s Backsplash
Yesterday, the man-boy and I road-tripped to Des Moines to let our creative juices flow... and to add to our fertility fund. You think babies are expensive? Try $12,000 just to conceive!!! Our new friend, Jill, responded to a craigslist ad we had posted, and hired us to come and beautify her already beautiful gourmet kitchen. It's amazing what a little acrylic paint can do!Nick quickly went ... [ Read More ]
