Homework Hide-away

Back to school! We’re on a year-around calendar, so my oldest has been back to school since July, but lots of kids are going back right around now. Back to school means back to homework! I don’t know about your house in the afternoons during the school year, but my house is c-h-a-o-s starting at about [...]

A note…

I’ve decided to fire this blog back up! I started it back in 2007 as a place to write about my life as a Mom of 2. Now, in mid-2009, I’m a Mom of 3 (!) and I’m busy, busy, busy! I’d like to change the direction of the blog a bit and make [...]

Another step towards finishing Kat’s room. Curtain rods! I had a bit of a hard time finding exactly what I wanted. It didn’t seem like I was asking for much… white, wooden, double rods, with the main rod having some girth, and finials that were pretty and yet simple (but not too simple!), and still substantial in size [...]

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, so I’ve put a few things together for Jag’s teachers (both the primary and assistant teachers). They looked so pretty sitting on the dining room table (my gift/decor holding area – not like we use that room for anything else!), I thought I’d snap a picture. Today I sent in [...]

prettying up the house

Is “prettying” a word, and if so, did I spell it correctly? Anyway. Speaking of cameras and pictures… this is what I’ve done in my foyer. I’ve been collecting a variety of stuff to decorate my house with for a couple of years now, and a lot of those items still haven’t been hung or set out. [...]

floor sneak peek

We’ve been super busy with this whole new floor project, but thought I’d take a minute to post a quick pic I took last Friday of the breakfast nook. This room has been grouted now too, but we’ve moved the fridge and some other random things in there while we work on the main part [...]

there’s no turning back now!

And I’m freaking out!! We finally made a tile decision over the weekend. We ended up going with something that’s sort of a grayish, brownish and maybe even a slight hint of greenish (if you look in last week’s picture, it’s on the very top right, although the colors look different in our kitchen). Don’t tell [...]
