  So this is how my day went.. Drove 20 minutes to drop the boys at school and then Keaton and I had to waste an hour and a half before going back for the big Mother's Day tea. Remember last year? So sweet! So nice! So not like this year..   Coen is now in Mrs. Rachel's class so it was his turn to host the tea. Mrs. Rachel had the cute tea cups, the flowers, table clothes, all so adorable. Then Coen gave me this:     As I was telling him how sweet and … [Continue reading...]

Bathroom renovation

I might be absent for awhile (what's new?).   I decided that the after the playroom, the next room that needed to be addressed was the only bathroom on the main floor (i.e. the bathroom that every single guest will use). It was decided that the wallpaper had to go. It wasn't bad, it just clashed with the playroom and you can see into the bathroom from the playroom. It is coming off fairly easily, but seeing the wall underneath, I now see why it was wallpapered in the first place so, … [Continue reading...]

Country living

I keep thinking I am going to get into a routine of posting regularly, but I’ve decided to face the truth. I’m addicted to decorating and renovating our house and the blog comes 2nd. That said, I AM taking tons of photos of each room and project and will slowly but surely share with you [...]

Sneak peeks

Travel playroom

I know, I know. It’s been awhile. I was at a blog conference, I was unpacking, I was painting and renovating, the dog ate my homework. Ok, the last one isn’t true, but I have been pretty busy lately. I promise to give all the details when things slow down a bit (maybe after I’m [...]

To unpack or to do… ANYTHING else?

diningroom

I’m over this unpacking thing, especially since Chris  has been working 14-hour days for the last 10 days or so. We’ve (by “we” I mean me, see the sentence prior) found and unpacked the essentials and then my attention drifted a bit. First to the kitchen nook and then to the GREEN dining room.   [...]

Little Man on the Go

Moved in

chalkboard wall

I cannot believe how long it has been since I posted. Can I even get caught up? Probably not, but I’ll give you the highlights.   We moved into our new home and will never ever, ever, ever move again with a child younger than 2. I have no idea how I did this when [...]

Cousins 2

Carter and Coen recently spent a couple of nights at Grandma J and Papa Roger’s house while we finished up round 1 of moving. Keaton stayed with us and got some one on one time with G.G. during the day and then in the evening, we got to pretend that we only had one child. [...]

5 years

Five  years ago, on this day, I married my best friend. It was the happiest day of my life.   We looked back then, to five years before, and couldn’t believe how we had grown and changed since we first met in college. We had no idea what the first five years of marriage had [...]
