YOU GUYS. I’m in love. With paint. My husband too, sure, but this PAINT. Oh. My. WORD. It is pure gorgeousness. Plain and simple. And I have my sister to thank. She recently discovered this color when painting her daughter’s nursery, and it is so lovely. The grayest of grays. You know, gray is HARD. […]

Once upon a time, we had two daughters. We bought them an adorable white table and colored chairs, in sweet pink, aqua, yellow, and lime green. It was just perfect for their size. And for tea parties, which happened almost daily. You can see, we then had a son, who also enjoyed partaking in the […]

I bet you never thought you’d see the day. You’ve heard me talk about redoing our office for probably a good year now. But you see… Life is hectic with three small kids. And this was no “naptime” project. I needed the hubs for this bad boy because there is a lot of molding and […]

You GUYS. You’re going to either love me or hate me after you try this recipe I’m about to share. It’s just THAT delicious, and you *might* just find yourself eating an absurd amount and you *might* fall into a sugar induced coma…then go back for more. For realz. So today I posted this pic […]

One of the perks of having a DIY blog is that when family members need to get rid of old furniture, they think of you. Often times, they just GIVE you these old pieces, with carte blanche to do whatever the heck you want. Case in point, this Big Bad Dresser my dad had in […]

Our oldest is in second grade. She is a few weeks away from receiving her First Communion, and she’s very excited about it. She tried her dress on the other night and the look on her face when she saw her reflection in the mirror…I’ve seen Christmas trees that weren’t lit up as much as […]

If you don’t already think I’m a total whackadoo, this post ought to do the trick. (I feel like I’ve started other posts with this very sentence…that speaks volumes, doesn’t it?) So you know our nightstands… Yes, THOSE nightstands… The ones I’ve already painted twice?! Yep. Those ones. They’ve gone through yet ANOTHER makeover. Poor […]

First off… Ohmygosh you guys, thanks SO much for the love for my husband’s post! I was so proud of him – and you guys loved it too! Can I just say for a second, HOW FUNNY IS HE?! My mom calls him our family Seinfeld, and his sense of humor is one of the […]

They say that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I’m not sure who said that, but whoever it was has never been in our basement laundry room. Because if they had, they would have considered us the richest people on earth. I’m not saying there’s a lot of junk down there; I’m saying there’s […]

One Thursday night a while back, we were out of leftovers. Thursday nights are almost always Leftover Night for dinner, except for when we don’t have any! It’s happening more and more these days, the bigger these kids are getting. No more teeny tiny portions for them…might have to actually start thinking of a meal […]
