Hey buddies! Long time no talkie! I wasn’t planning on taking a full-on blogging vacay, but it turned out that way when I was stricken with bronchitis and strep just in time for Christmas. Miraculously, Nick and the girls didn’t get sick at all, and they did a great job of taking care of me. The girls love to play Dr, so they were covering me in a million blankets, taking my temperature, and ... [ Read More ]
Looking back at 2014
It’s been a whirlwind of a year for us. My one and only New Years resolution from last year’s Round Up Post was to get knocked up… quite possibly the only resolution I’ve actually achieved success at in the history of my entire life! We spent the first part of the year painting backsplashes to save money for our FET, which we did, and paid for in cash last June. After an emotional and ... [ Read More ]
Tis the season to be BUSY
When asking just about anyone, I think the most common response to the question ‘how are you’ is… BUSY. Any time of the year. Right? Nick and I keep our commitments to a minimum simply because we like to live a simple life. Why else would we buy an acreage an hour from the nearest Target? #canigetanamen I do however like to ‘keep busy’, rather than watching TV or sitting around, but I think ... [ Read More ]
Operation Laundry Room {Vanity}
Something very exciting happened this week… WE CAN WASH OUR HANDS IN THE ACTUAL BATHROOM instead of going to the kitchen. It’s been over a year since we ripped out the shower, and started preparing to make this a luxurious bathroom / laundry room suite. Remember when it looked like this? Old Skool. So let’s do a little recap since this has been a year in the making (and far from done)…So the ... [ Read More ]
Our kind of Christmas
As a creative-type designer-ish blogger, I’ve been known to move junk out of the background before I take a picture. I do this so you won’t be distracted by my cat litter instead of what I’m trying to convey. It’s really not that I’m trying to be deceitful or make you think that we keep a perfectly clean house (I wrote a whole post on this topic here). BUT, there are certain things I just won’t ...

Rolling Mudroom Bench with Cubbies!
Phew! What a busy weekend! You too? Nick and I have been working away on our respective projects. He in the bathroom/laundry room (update coming later this week!) and I in the kitchen. There were also a number of trips to the hardware story to break up the monotony of buzzing power tools.’ Today I’m going to show you what I ‘threw together’ (HARDLY) as my next step in my kitchen ...

Temporary Mid-Century Furniture Update!
A few weeks ago, I was bragging on Instagram about how I found this amazing /authentic mid-century Garrison hutch for $70 on our local FB For Sale Page. Normally, $70 would have been more than I would spend on ANY piece of furniture… but I love me some MCM furniture, and I knew this bad boy was worth at least a few hundred dollars. If nothing else we could resell it, right? That was the ... [ Read More ]

Gift Ideas by Talented Artisans… Shop Small!
Happy Monday morning awesome friends! Are you actively sipping your coffee and pretending to be productive? ME TOO! When I’m sprawled out on the couch and the girls want me to get them a snack (or whatever), I play the pregnancy card and say ‘baby needs to rest in my belly for awhile… we wouldn’t want to wake her!’ And then they gently pat my belly and whisper… ‘awwww baby, so sleepy’, and go ...
