I had best intentions the beginning of this year to do a better job maintaining the blog. I even made a 2020 project list as a roadmap to show you what I was working on and then there was the small thing known as the pandemic while attempting to work from home with 3 kids […]

A month into the new year I’m just now getting organized enough to write out project goals for the year, which feels pretty solid with having 3 kids and returning to work full time. For the last 2 years that we’ve owned the house, our main goal was to get rid of as many things […]

The new house has no ceiling lights in the bedrooms aside from the master bedroom. Kind of odd considering this house is 60+ years newer than our old house which had lighting everywhere. I’m kind of partial to having overhead lighting in every room, but don’t feel like having the kid’s room wired for electricity […]

This is our first Fall in the new home and needless to say I couldn’t wait to deck out the front with pumpkins and mums the first sign of cool weather.  I’m so used to having a front porch to decorate that I wasn’t quite sure what to do with the new house which has […]

I’ve hit the point in the new house where I’m itching to have everything finished. Or at least the things I can reasonably accomplish since we’re a few years away from redoing all the bathrooms and kitchen. The one room that is nearest to completion is Declan’s. While I still need to change out the […]

I have yet to figure out how to slow down time and Logan’s first birthday has come and gone. Sharing details from the big day including how I made the donut backdrop which I later re-used for pictures of my big boy. Supplies needed: Peg Board – I bought this from Home Depot Dowels – […]
