October 18th? Seriously?! THAT was the last time I posted? Oops. Oh well. The kids are alive and well and I'm told that is all that matters. We've been moving right along at a snail's pace on the kitchen (more on that at some point), but for now, let me show you the boys' bathroom. The before: The "now": Short and sweet. At least I posted, right? … [Continue reading...]
When we moved into the house, there wasn't a designated dining room. There was room in the kitchen for a small table, but with 6 in our family, we needed a bit more room. We could have put the table in the addition, but what would go in the rest of the room? Even when we put the wall up to create our master, there would have been a large space of roughly 250 square feet.

Oh, hi there. Are you still here? C’mon. I’m not falling for the “I’m such a loyal follower I happened to stop by to see if after a year you had written anything”. We both know that the only reason you stopped by was because my Facebook told you to or some other automated blog […]

Halloween and spirit week behind us, it’s time for Harvest Day. Thank goodness there is only one that needs constant costume changes this year.
[Continue reading...]Chris and I have been married 7 years this March. We’ve been together the better part of 12 years. There have been so many changes in our lives with very few constants. One constant has been our family, not only our immediate family, but our extended work family (although, some of those people ARE actually […]
