Got Alot Done

With my mom hanging around and helping out last week, we got WAY more done than any couple with a nearly 2 year old and a 1 week old should! My mom is a major DIY handy-woman, and just couldn’t contain herself when she came to stay. By the end of the 1st day she [...]

New Baby – New Project

With the addition of our little girl, Carly Michelle, to our family I have added a new blogging outlet for myself! I attempted to start this photography project, called the 365 Challenge, with Jonah at one point, but always wished I had started at his birth and used it to document his 1st year in [...]

Daddy’s Little Building Buddy

This was just too cute for me not to blog about it! Jason sat down to start putting together the new side table and mini dresser that we bought from Ikea for the nursery, and Jonah jumped right in on helping him out! He was putting screws and pegs in the holes for Daddy, fetching [...]

A Growing To Do List

With less than 2 months, now, before our little girl arrives, my brain has started churning over all the things that I have to, and would like to, get done before that time. My friend Sarahjenne made a similar list on her baby blog, so I guess I’m stealing the idea from her!
Need to Do [...]

Nursery Project – Weekend 3

Friday night we painted the first coat of light pink before heading to Tyler.
Saturday we got back too late from Tyler to do anything useful.
Sunday we painted the second coat of pink, took down the tape and started working on touching up the white stripe because there’s just no way to tape on textured walls [...]

Nursery Project – Weekend 2

We didn’t actually finish painting the 2nd coat of pink until late last night cause we got side tracked with other stuff this weekend. There’s no mistaking it though, it’s definitely a pink room now! haha! The picture of the outlet is probably the most accurate representation of the wall color though. The flash photography [...]

Pumpkin Carving

With a busy schedule this coming week, we decided to just go ahead and carve our pumpkin on Sunday night, which is earlier than I’d like to, but we’re busy on Tuesday night, and Jason has school on Monday and Wednesday night, so that’d just leave Thursday, and what’s the point of having it carved [...]

Bathroom Update

10-10 Bathroom Stripped and 1st Coat On

As with any home improvement project, this one has seemed to grow as we’ve gone along. What was originally going to be “install a new linoleum tile floor” has turned into so much more when we discovered that our floor wasn’t exactly level and smooth, nor were the vinyl [...]
