Currently we are in the middle of a kitchen remodel. We bought our first, probably last, home in August and have been constantly doing something to it. Everything is painted apart from the kitchen and the two bathrooms, but overall we are really pleased. The kitchen was a huge downside for me as I just didn’t feel there was enough storage space. So after meeting with a Home Depot kitchen designer we decided we’d make some changes and get a new kitchen!

To keep the project budget lower, we’ve (by we I mean my husband) done some of the work ourselves. I’m so excited that the end is insight. We got all of the cabinets and the soffits out this last week and now tomorrow the drywallers will be coming. After that Friday is the cabinets and then the counter will be measured next week.

Now we are just down to the last parts of picking things out. Finishing touches my husband calls it. Backsplash, light fixture, and faucet are some of the few things left to pick out.

All in all this has been a pretty smooth project so far, it has though taken longer than I anticipated. We started all this back the end of September, so I’m anxious for it to be done!

Check out the pictures of what the kitchen looked like before! Can’t wait till I can post the after pictures!

This is right after we bought the house.

This is after a few months living in the house, updates to the kitchen at this point new stove & microwave and door.

Cabinets down & soffits out!

PetFusion Cat Scratcher Lounge Review

The cat lounger scratcher is amazing. I’m so happy that I was giving a chance to review it. We first got it back in July, right when we adopted our first kitten Albie. We wanted to get this for him as we decided not to declaw him. Growing up, my parents always had our cats declawed, but my husband, who is from England, it is actually illegal to declaw cats over there. After reading more on it, I realized it wasn’t what I had always thought it was, just taking a nail out. But more in fact they compare it to if you removed our last finger joint. So I could never do that to my little guy. At first Albie only used it as a lounger. When he was real small he could fit in and lay down in the bit inside, but now he’s much to big for that. For him, this is now just a place to sharpen his nails. But our other cat Ted, just LOVES this. He not only uses it as a scratcher but it is his favorite place to sit and sleep. A bit weird I think given we have so many comfy couches, chairs and beds for him to lay on, but, he always chooses to lay and sleep on the scratcher.
The price point for these is higher than I’d normally spend on something for my cats, but after getting to review it, I see why. It’s very durable and well-built and the cats just love it, and use it everyday, so that makes it worth it.
So are you looking for something to get your cats for Christmas? Get this and wrap a bow on it, they’ll love you for it!

I was lucky enough to be able to test out some Sheex King Size pillowcases.  I first got introduced to Sheex back in August when I attended BlogHer in New York City. I got a sample pack of their sheets and also got 2 travel size pillows with their performance sheets pillow cases on it.

I just LOVE the feel of these.  They are by far the softest material I have ever felt.  What is great for our household is the moisture transport part.  My husband can get sweaty at night so this feature is great for us! I personally love that they are very light and breathable.
