I started back at work last week. It's part time, so I can't complain, but even part time, I feel like I am not able to get much done. My days are spent playing catch-up. Before maternity leave I never would have believed how much time I could spend cleaning and organizing, and yet never … Continue reading Front Yard Progress

Shades of Grey
I had thought we would put off our house painting project until August, after the baby was born and we'd hopefully have some rhythm and routine back in our lives. The house has lead paint that needs to be removed first, so I figured I would just head to my parents house with the baby … Continue reading Shades of Grey
I LOVE new kitchen appliances!!
We didn't have any plans for Memorial day. We toyed with taking a day trip and getting out of town, but Sunday when we woke up it was so cloudy that it didn't seem worth it, and instead opted to make breakfast and have a lazy morning...how many more of those are we going to … Continue reading I LOVE new kitchen appliances!!
The New Siding is Finished!!
One more thing I can cross off my 30 Before Baby List!! Last I shared the photo of our house, it looked like this. I had come home on my lunch break to find the demo had already begun. I was a little in shock second guessing what we were getting ourselves into.Luckily though by … Continue reading The New Siding is Finished!!
New Siding is on it’s way!
I mentioned in my last post that we had a contractor coming by the house...We are residing! Originally I was hoping to reposition the windows AND reside, but it was going to be twice the amount...plus we have to have the house painted on top of that, so instead I am hoping to improve the … Continue reading New Siding is on it’s way!
Nothing big, but a lot of little things
The past few weeks have been a bit busy. We flew out to Boston to meet the newest addition to my husband's family. It was a nice getaway, a little cold, but still pretty relaxing. When ever I miss a weekend around the house though, I tend to go into crazy mode the following week … Continue reading Nothing big, but a lot of little things
And the Gallery Wall is up!
So again, back to filling the large empty walls in our house! This one was a done a while ago, but the beauty of a gallery wall is that it can continue to grow, change, and evolve. I started with a bunch of frames that I had been collecting, mainly from IKEA, Target, and TJ … Continue reading And the Gallery Wall is up!
{Better Remade} flagstone walkway
Since we moved in we have been unhappy with our front walkway. The owners threw down flagstone pavers on top of loose gravel right before the house went on the market, and since then the grass has completely taken over. The worst part was that when wearing heels I had to be very cautious to … Continue reading {Better Remade} flagstone walkway
garden shed – phase 1 complete
By Sunday evening I demolished the "carport" built on to the side of our little shed. The trim along the roof frame was completely split, so my plan for Monday was to rip off the old trim and cut and paint new trim. And of course as soon as I started painting it started raining. … Continue reading garden shed – phase 1 complete
Our little garden shed
This is our little garden shed, inherited from the last owners. The last owners build a little carport like addition, which for one - wasn't built very well so the water rains through the shingles and two - isn't tall enough to stand under. Jesse thinks that it should just come down, but I think … Continue reading Our little garden shed
