Let me just start by saying...this went VERY well! I'm nervous to take each step for fear of the unknown. I had a bunch of extra materials incase I had to rip out the sub floor and rebuild...but I didnt!

Can I get a hand?
That's meant to imply I need a hand to help me back on to the wagon, not because I think I deserve a round of applause. I'm jumping back on the blogging band wagon, or at least I will try. I didn't mean to take a hiatus, but I never seemed to be able to … Continue reading Can I get a hand?
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
A modified achievement
In my 30 before baby post, I listed that one of the things that we needed to get done was build a second raised vegetable garden bed...Turns out that there are many more than 30 things that I need to do before I have the baby :) Like for today's example, find a new location … Continue reading A modified achievement
Baby’s Room Progress
I know I haven't been posting much. I haven't gotten many good short projects finished, but instead have been working on the long projects...Like the baby's room.

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
A New Dishwasher
Unfortunately I have to admit that I haven't remade anything in a while. I think about it all the time, and then that is as far as it goes...but we did make a little progress in the kitchen! A new dishwasher! Exciting, right? You buy a house and suddenly it's exciting to get things like … Continue reading A New Dishwasher
Europe by Night
Sorry for my absence, my husband and I took a belated honeymoon to Europe for 2 weeks. It was pretty wonderful! October was a pretty nice time to travel. Although I feel like there are more tourists than when I was there in 2005, I definitely think that October's crowds are far less than summer's, … Continue reading Europe by Night
Super Random Secret Trick
This is super random I know...and there is a very high probability that everyone knew about this before me, but I think it's great, and it's a huge help! Stretching shoes...did you know what you could stretch them in the freezer? One of my co-workers shared this with me last year, and since then every … Continue reading Super Random Secret Trick
What did I do before Pinterest?
I have a few stacks of home magazines around the house. One in the living room and a few more stacks hidden away. They range in age from 2 months to 2 years. Jesse has decided that I can't make comments about his piles around the house until I address the piles of magazines. (I'll … Continue reading What did I do before Pinterest?
