Inspired holiday decorating

I mentioned before that I’m feeling somewhat less than motivated to get out my boxes of Christmas decorations.  But there are a few things I’ve come across lately that could still inspire some holiday spirit in me. I ADORE these simple stockings that I saw...

More bedroom updates

After wrapping up our headboard project (read all about it here if you missed it!), I wanted to talk a little more about the bedroom. We’ve changed a few things other than the bed, and there’s still some things on my to-do list. Bear with...

Construction update

Just a quick update on the state of things around here… This is what the pantry/laundry area is looking like right about now: I had no idea that’s what the inside of my walls looked like! And I’m really, really glad this is not a DIY...

Good Golly, Olly is Nine Months Old!

This little guy is nine months old! Oliver is so happy, so laid back, rarely cries, frequently giggles. Basically he’s just a wonderful kid! (Not that we’re biased or anything!!!) He’s also a giant, in the 97th percentile for height, and the 67th percentile for...
