I’ve been on the lookout for something to help me organize my giant basket of magazines and catalogues that seems to be overflowing more and more these days. Everything I’ve found is either ugly and not at all something I want in my living room or too expensive for any real person to be able […]

I love my front door. OK, it’s not really the front door, it’s more of a side door. It leads from the mudroom into the kitchen. But it’s the door we use most, anyway. I painted it red to cover up the weird green that was underneath. I’ve enjoyed it, but thought I would never […]

Do you ever feel like you’re really good at decorating for some seasons, but really not so good at others? This is my not so good season. First of all, Spring and Easter are all about cutesy, and I’m not so talented with the cutesy execution. I like cutesy. I just can’t make it work. […]

Well, Spring Break is here and we’ve got the weather to match! We headed outside this morning to take a few pictures of any signs of Spring that we could find around the property. It was an activity I planned to try to keep Kennedy busy and entertained, but I’m pretty sure I had as […]

It seems like I own about 8000 different storage baskets, boxes, bins, etc. It also always seems like the ones I have are never quite right. So I buy more, also either not quite right or just waaay too expensive. Until now! We needed something for Kennedy’s bedside table so I went right ahead and […]

The weather the other morning was so neat and atmosphery. Know what I mean? It was like driving through the opening sequence of classic horror movie as I came home from dropping Kennedy off at school. But in a good way.    There was so much thick, misty, moodiness in the air. The sky was […]

Hey, wanna see something else we found in our garage attic? I’m not in love with these photos, but I am in love with this window. Chris was a little grossed out that I wanted to bring it inside, but how could I not? Just 15 or 16 passes with a rag and some soapy […]

Well, it’s the last day of November, so it’s about time we get into the Christmas swing of things, doncha think? We had our first snowfall last night and everything is looking all perfect and Christmassy. We’re all just loving it around here. I thought I’d start at the very beginning, a very good place […]

Have you been outside to play today? Today I’m reminding myself to always keep my family’s health and wellness at the very top of my list of priorities. I thought you might enjoy remembering this with me.

We’re planning on starting a garden next Spring, so we had to dig up the grass in a section of the property because there wasn’t any garden from when the last owners lived here. We decided to tackle the huuuuuge task this fall so that we’ll have a nice level area to make a skating […]
