So...Saturday after my morning shower I mentioned off-hand to Rory,"we should take down that stupid sliding shower door sometime". It would make giving Sadie a bath in there so much nicer. It's very awkward now, what with my elbow in the toilet and my knee on the plunger. Not so sanitary either. We had talked about it before...but never acted on … [Read more...]

This was Sadie the other morning...bright, happy, and cheerful. (still had snot trails down her face though) She's had a vicious runny nose/congestion for the past few days. She's still a happy girl when she's sick...but a lot more touchy. The smallest thing will set her off! Hopefully her cold will be gone soon, cause she's not really much fun … [Read more...]

I did it. Went and clipped some flowers from the bush. In my defense, the plant is literally growing through the fence to get to our side. AND all the flowers I clipped barely made a dent. AND the neighbors don't care about the flowers on our side since they can't see them/therefore don't KNOW they're over here. Is there a law about this? I feel … [Read more...]

New pillow for the rocking chair, and it looks so much better than … [Read more...]
Hall bathroom…
March 14, 2009 By 1 Comment
I had so much fun doing Miekka's mood board I thought I would whip up one for our hall bathroom. Now, we haven't even started working on it, but I have some ideas. I really want white subway tiles in the tub/shower area, and numbered hooks and that awesome wash behind your ears print. So let me know what you think...also if anyone else wants to … [Read more...]
