Today I’m joining the Poppies at Play Parade of Homes Tour! So if this is your first time stopping by- welcome & thanks so much for coming!! Just a year ago we moved into our new {70s} home. We’ve made so many changes to it that I thought a before& after post of the whole house […]
March 27, 2010I love roman shades. I use them on pretty much any & every window that needs privacy. (Shutters are beautiful too but we’ll get into those another time.) There are so many different types and price points that I thought it might be helpful to break it down. 1. The main materials that can be […]
March 26, 2010As I’ve mentioned many times, I love bringing in branches from outdoors. I am absolutely crazy over forsythia (image source below- unknown): I love bringing in the bright yellow blooms and they’re super-easy to force indoors. (image below, House Beautiful) SO, ’tis the season and I saw some for $14 each. We picked up 2 that are about […]
March 23, 2010Yesterday we had 4 of our scraggly pine trees removed. When the guys were back there taking down the trees, they found this little cutie (above & below) with a hurt leg.

We’ve got plans to update eventually. […]
March 16, 2010It’s gametime. I still haven’t done anything with Justin’s nursery and he just hit the two-month mark. eeeeeeek (I also haven’t sent out baby announcements yet- arggg!!) But he’s starting to spend lots of time in here, is looking around more (and just started laughing this week! 🙂 and it’s time to give him something special […]
March 6, 2010It Sounds Warmer Out… This morning when I woke up, it was just a little better. My shades were down but I could hear the birds!! Chirping like they should be!! (Under the crying/ yelling of my two year-old who had just woken up on the wrong side of bed in his bedroom.) There was […]
