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...]

June last year, our second visit to the house, when we decided to put an offer in. Overgrown with who knows what...I was afraid to venture out there, so I stayed on the patio. Soon after we bought the house, the bank had the weeds whacked, gangster style. We were LOVING all of those pavers and rocks. hah. Yesterday. The pavers were long gone, … [Read more...]

Where the old couch was banished...I mean moved to. The sun … [Read more...]

We ruled out … [Read more...]

Baby and I last night...I love this pic, even though Janae cut off the top of my head. haha My little herbies are growin' still! Still can't use them...I'm thinking they're more for greenery than usage. Someday I would like to have an herb garden though! (uhh, please ignore my dirty window) Made pumpkin bread for the neighbors today (and … [Read more...]
