Quick review: when we first realized we were going to need a nursery (and that we didn’t want to give up the guest room for it, at least not right away), we planned to hire someone to put up a wall with french doors, dividing our ginormous (29 by 13) master bedroom into two sections. Then this started to seem….expensive. … Continue reading
Remind me never to decorate a nursery at the same time I’m trying to get the house ready for Christmas again. It’s a little much. Anyway, we did the tree last night and some other stuff here and there, and I’m saving that all up for a grand Christmas post over the weekend for the next Dare to DIY challenge … Continue reading
First a few notes:*The Advent calendar continues to be a hit. Today we’re making giant paper snowflakes.*I think I need a totally non-fun version of the calendar for me. It would say things like, “mail the property tax check before you have to pay a penalty, you dummy!” “do some laundry,” and “get to work on those photo books; it’s … Continue reading

I’m sorry … Continue reading

Because it’s really time to get moving on that. As I’ve mentioned, the giant … Continue reading
I have good news and bad news. Bad news: you know the fabulous octopus drawer pulls? The ones that were going to be the best thing in the whole nursery? Yeah, well, I had them all in my cart ready to buy, when I decided to check and see how big they are. Turns out they’re all of 4 centimeters. … Continue reading
I fell asleep the other night fretting over what color to paint the den, but I woke up this morning realizing that I have less than 16 weeks (or so) until this baby is born, and I need to get my priorities in order. This is the last nursery I’ll ever do, so I’d like to make it awesome. I’m … Continue reading
