This will be our first Christmas with a toddler and we are so excited! This is one of the most fun ages to buy gifts for because everything is just amazing– puzzles, books, tape, empty macaroni boxes… You name it, our little guy will think it’s great. These toys help build skills without being boring….
This DIY project has been a long time coming. We ordered this patio door for our basement (along with the lumber for our mini shed and new basement windows) back in April. It was one of our “bored and in quarantine” impulse buys. Some people buy clothes and gadgets- we buy doors! I should also…
I’ve had the decluttering bug ever since we renovated our coat closet last week. Emptying cabinets, organizing toys, labeling boxes… no storage space is safe. This week I turned my attention to our neglected, cavernous, and dusty bedroom closet. I love to clean and organize, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have areas that get…
In my humble opinion- the more pillows, the better. My only beef with pillows is that they can be expensive! Where can a girl find cheap decorative pillows around here?? My other dilemma is that sometimes I’ll get this idea of what I want only to find out that it doesn’t exist. So I had…
Doesn’t every house have a nondescript coat closet? Largely ignored and overly stuffed with junk? We did not have plans to renovate our entryway closet, but as luck would have it, we ended up with a spare closet organizer. A certain pregnant lady lacking her usual brain power ordered the wrong size organizer for the…
Teal? Whimsical? Animals… and a few mushrooms? So the theme may have gotten away from me, but this nursery has been such a joy to decorate. My only rules for myself were to keep it colorful, keep it fun, and keep it on budget. That’s why for the past several weeks, we’ve been DIY-ing like…
We officially celebrated our 1 year “blog-iversary” this month! Hard to believe we’ve been documenting our house projects for a whole year, but at the same time it feels like a decade’s worth of things of changed since July 2019. The world looks a whole lot different than it did last summer! Let’s take trip…
I swear to you guys- when I told Tyler I wanted to hang a pegboard over the dresser in the nursery he looked at me like I’d finally lost my baby brain marbles. He doesn’t spend much time on Pinterest except to look at garage things, so I’m sure he was picturing a standard shop…
We have been keeping busy with lots of mini projects in the nursery! Now that we’re super close to finishing up, I thought I’d update here. If I don’t, my nursery room tour post might be 6 years long and who really wants to hear about our outlet choices during a room tour?? First up…
Our house is way overdue for cleaning, so I thought I’d bring you along with me today! The MVP on my cleaning days is Norwex. Look out, here comes a disclaimer… We’re simple people. I’m not a saleswoman. In fact, selling anything is ranked pretty high up on my list of worst nightmares. Please, you…
