So obviously you’ve noticed by now that the majority of our year of projects have been painting. We have literally painted every surface in this house except for the floors. All the time we were renting apartments, painting was what I looked forward to the most in home ownership. Now I dread the thought of […]

For today we’ll go over the only room in the entire house that is actually finished. From curtains to carpet. This room is almost exactly how I want it. It’s still not quite perfect, I’d really love to replace the mirrored sliding closet doors, but considering that it’s actually painted, furnished, and has things hanging […]

For today we’ll start with the staircase. The folks we bought the house from replaced the staircase and railing just before we bought the place, but didn’t bother to do anything with it. When we took over the top of the railing was completely naked wood, and before we even moved into the house the […]

Now that I’m starting to get my feet back underneath me, I’m trying to get caught back up on the world. I have a mountain of blog content stacked up waiting for me to get around to uploading photos, so I’m going to try to make my way through it by the end of the […]

But I just can’t resist his little face. What a difference a few weeks makes, huh? He’s now 8 1/2 pounds and 21″ long. He looks like a real baby.

I have loads of belated thank you’s to give for a million reasons. I’m always pretty shameful about my communication, just ask The Good Twin. I swear she’s going to give up on me completely any day now. For starters, I’ve already gotten some great stuff for the nursery. My stitchy friend Marilyn lives in […]

Why, I believe it is time, and I seem to have some on my hands! We just got back from the doctors office and our little guy now weighs 8 1/2 lbs and is 21″ long. I can’t believe how huge he is now, but we still get stopped whenever we go out in public […]

Would you believe Bear comes home on Friday? This time has actually been way easier than I feared it would be. In fact, it kind of would have been a breeze if it weren’t for the fact that while I was busy playing single parent, I was also planning a big fat blowout party that […]

It’s official. My baby has gone wireless. I have been holding him and pacing circles around the house just because I can. It’s so wonderful to be able to pick up the phone without dragging luggage behind, or just get up to get myself a drink without buckling him in to something. I even went […]

There really aren’t words to express how relieved I’ll be when this dang oxygen is gone. It makes every tiny thing so ridiculously complicated. Along with my detailed birth plan that got thrown out the window, my pretty little idea of attachment parenting got killed by the harsh fact of what my baby takes to […]
