Quick change
June 14, 2009 By 2 Comments
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...]

She thinks she is, she is always laughing to herself, it's so cute.I had crafting ADD today.During her morning nap I started making curtains for her room, then switched to making curtains … [Read more...]
our front yard and rhino hair.
May 17, 2009 By 3 Comments
Yesterday we went shopping for plants for the front yard. On a day that was about 100 degrees. In a greenhouse. Wow, not the smartest thing we've ever done, but oh well! We had Rory's parents (avid gardeners) to help us choose what to plant, since, if I was left to my own devices, I would pick something totally wrong and poisonous to boot. We … [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...]

Rory spent the last two night putting together two of these bad boys for storage in our garage. (on sale!) It has become somewhat of a health hazard lately, with all the projects going on. So we decided to add organize the garage to the list.Which, really isn't that big of a project, but you know. Bugs and stuff live out there. Not at the top of my … [Read more...]
food storage
April 4, 2009 By 5 Comments
We just bought one of these this morning. I am actually really excited to get our food storage all in order! We have some in our pantry, but let's be honest, it's a mess and I can't fit all the food we need in here. It's deceptively small. (and messy, ignore the messiness please!)So we bought one and saved money with a coupon that came with a … [Read more...]

Now, obviously Sadie cannot do crafts yet, so the title refers to me crafting for her. haha. dur. Anyways, here are some things I've been up to lately... Gathered some cross stitching hoops on the cheap and made this fabric art for Sadie's wall! Close up, cute huh? Soo easy too. New pillow for the rocking chair, and it looks so much better than … [Read more...]
