We’re off today to check out a part-time daycare/ preschool for our little guys. I’m sort of mixed about it, but mostly excited. It will be 3 days a week and my mom will be watching them on a 4th day. I’m attempting tp take the 5th day off so we’ll see how it goes. Christian’s three years old and is dying […]
August 31, 2010I often think about patterns from my childhood… Fabrics, tile, wallpapers, even linoleum patterns. Many of them have really stayed with me over the years and I remember them fairly clearly. For the ones that are no longer around… I wish I could just have a piece… A yard or a square foot to look at and remember perfectly. The sofa in the […]
August 26, 2010Justin’s ‘cruising’ now so I temporaily switched out our lucite cocktail table in the living room with an ikea slipcovered ottoman from our family room. It’ll stay in here until he can walk & I don’t have to worry about him breaking his face on the table. The look is a bit cuter than I like […]

August 22, 2010There’s something magical about summer, and although Fall might be my favorite season, I’m never quite ready for Summer to end.

August 19, 2010You might remember that we “finished” (nothing’s ever really done here) Christian’s bedroom a while back: We’d never gotten around to hanging what we’d planned to hang in the blank spot next to his bookcase. A few months ago I found this cool vintage German educational chart of a fish: {I’ve been very into […]
August 16, 2010Good morning! Ok, so like I mentionioned on Friday, I’m attempting to be back on track with the “Pure Organization” Projects Series! (which I’m now calling “Pure Projects” because not all will be organization 🙂 {Just as a reminder, in case you’re a new reader or forgot (it’s been a few months! 😉 every Monday I’ll […]
August 9, 2010Do you remember when I started “Pure Organization” this past January 2010and was all set to get organized? Well, as you probably noticed, I totally slacked off on that front and we spent more of our time redoing rooms & on other projects that on actually organizing. (Kids, work, life too, you know 😉 {Coat […]
