When I shared my list of what I'm working on the other day I neglected to mention a few projects on my list for the master bathroom. I've already painted it, added custom blinds, and framed out the mirror but I'm still working on switching out the vanity light fixtures and builder-grade showerhead. (Stay tuned for those projects … [Read more...]
If you can reach back into the archives of high school Spanish you'll know that Agua Fresca translates to "fresh water" but this amazing drink is so much more than that! Agua Fresca can be made with just about any fruit you can think of, combined with water, ice, and sugar. Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, here are three of my favorite Agua … [Read more...]
I didn't want to share these pictures with you at first. I was scared what you'd think. Would you judge me? Would my inbox be full of comments condemning my lack of attention to my home? But here they are...in their full glory-my absolutely filthy washing machine. How can something whose entire purpose is to CLEAN be so very … [Read more...]
Sometimes in the blogging world it can seem like other people are doing the impossible....making over entire houses in a weekend while homeschooling ten kids, cooking only gluten free vegan gourmet meals and looking perfectly stylish and hip at the same time. Yeah, not this lady. I try to plan my projects ahead of time and I love sharing the … [Read more...]

Are you tired of outdoor projects yet? I hope not because I feel like I'm on a roll! I've been stuck inside all winter and now I'm ready to get outside and I want a pretty place to enjoy all this nice weather! Waaaaaaay back when this was a tiny little newborn baby blog I posted about my patio furniture I bought at World Market. I searched … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by dio. All opinions are 100% mine. Y'all are going to love me after today because I'm sharing the coolest site with you. Seriously, I have been playing on this thing all week! It's called dio and with it you can create an online "environment" of sorts, with rooms, entrances, exits, etc. I know, I know....you … [Read more...]
{sigh} The backyard. On the one hand it is one of my favorite places now that we finished our Patio Makeover (for now!) But on the other hand it's been a huge source of stress and a ginormous work in progress (like I described in my last backyard transformation post!) The pool was put in late last summer, getting finished up in late August. … [Read more...]
This post is brought to you courtesy of Goodies Co. Try new snacks for only $7 a month! Do you have adventurous taste buds? Do you like to try new things? I love trying new foods and recipes.

When we first moved into our house last April I shared my youngest son's nursery with you. I designed it using Montessori education as inspiration-we have always used a floor bed instead of a crib with Tommy, and I had purchased some IKEA Expedit shelving to keep things low at his level. I was very happy with the nursery at first but over the … [Read more...]
So for a while now there's been a little situation in my house that has bothered me. Like a lot. I don't mention it much because I know a lot of us struggle with the same problem, yet many of us don't talk about it. It's, well, this: This behemoth of a TV hanging over my mantel. I'm not sure when or why this is all of a sudden the … [Read more...]
Finally! The pictures I've been waiting to share with you all for weeks (and you would have gotten them a good two weeks ago if the baby hadn't killed my laptop!) After I lost my original pictures we had an insane amount of pollen roll in and I had to wait for it to let up a bit so I could rephotograph the patio-but here it is! {eek!} I'm in … [Read more...]
