Isn't she the cutest? This is Ally's new favorite spot in the house, which is of course, on top of a white comforter. Which isn't ours. Which is now covered in Ally hair. I swear, we'll wash it before we move! … [Read more...]

...and it's true. It's the big project going on right now, so what do you expect? lol. More progress was made on the wood floors last night. Besides a setback with the cabinets, it was pretty smooth sailing so I'm told. I kicked back and read a book. I'm under a strict "don't do anything that will stress you out" rule from Rory. Of course, that … [Read more...]
Our new toys
July 9, 2008 By Leave a Comment
We had our new playthings delivered yesterday! Rory likes playing with the knobs, and I like how shiny and sparkly new they are. It will be fun to try out our new washer and dryer (or Lola and Henry as I have named them) once we move in, but for now they're just fun to look at. Please don't look too hard at our ugly floors or walls. haha. … [Read more...]

Diaper bag preparedness

So after hunting high and low for a cute diaper bag that did not have elephants or bears on it, I found a brown vinyl tote with tons of pockets at Ross a few months ago. Problem is, it didn't come with a changing pad, obviously. I bought a folding one that was supposed to hold diapers and wipes too, but it was hard to wrangle so I don't like it. To … [Read more...]

So yay!I also got the matching swing, a high chair thingy, hamper, closet … [Read more...]
