A Very Colorful Post

by

Today, May 19th, is my man-boy's 28th birthday. I secretly took a half day at work in the interest of planning the festivities of the evening. Due to the fact that it's the middle of the week, said festivities are to include: birthday cake, presents, and me wearing something scandalous.Did I say that out loud?I baked this fun non-manly rainbow cake. The reason being... well I just really have ... [ Read More ]

Sarah’s Backsplash

by

Every other weekend, Nick and I have a day off together. And as of late, we've been spending it painting backsplashes... which is not only fun and rewarding, it's also helping us build our Fertility Fund at an astonishing rate. My cousin Sarah asked if we could come do our 'magic' in her kitchen, and we were delighted!Sarah requested neutral beigey browns to compliment her red accents and ... [ Read More ]

Nesting

by

My sis gave me this sweet decorative birdhouse that she crafted on her own! A family of sparrows has taken up residence, and we've enjoyed watching them bring twigs and leaves to build their nest and prepare their home for a family. That is, assuming nature gives them that 'privilege.'My mom contributed the sweet paint can flower pots, and Nick attached the tacky thermometer.These goldfinches ... [ Read More ]

Accumulation

by

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... our boy Reuben brings us lots of garbage, including but not limited to: cobs of corn, broken glass bottles, unidentifiable debris, and sticks... LOTS of sticks. I guess I never really took the "retriever" part of his breed seriously.Over time, this debris tends to accumulate on our porch.But, above all else, Reuben LOVES his frisbee.Yes. That... is a ... [ Read More ]

It’ll change your life.

by

I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and thought to myself  'now that girl could use a brownie.'  It was at that point I vowed to not rest until there were brownies in front of me. It's true, I regularly crave chocolate and sweets. And for a moment, you might consider asking me if I'm pregnant. But then you would remember. And hold your tongue.I just made brownies from scratch for ... [ Read More ]

It’s a Deal

by

In the interest of saving money, I'm always keeping my eye out for good deals. When we first started saving money for the InVitro fund, I would have a violent war going on in my head when it comes to purchasing things that we absolutely NEED as opposed to the things that we just kinda need. It started getting a little out of hand, so in recent weeks I've been attempting to loosen up a ... [ Read More ]

Hostility

by

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

by

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 ]

Headboard Reveal

by

We've been working like a couple craizies, but the most fun has been had in the form of painting backplashes to look like real tile, and crafting custom headboards for a little side cash. It's helping our Fertility Fund grow little by little!!So here it is! Our most recent headboard creation! I give you... the handmade Chocolate Brown queen sized headboard. ... [ Read More ]

Lazy

by

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 ]
