Back when I was taking a million pictures of the finished half of our master bedroom, I also snapped a couple of what the other half of it (i.e. the part that was Abe’s nursery until very recently) looks like right now. But then I think I deleted those by accident. Sorry. Basically, you need to picture Abe’s old nursery: … Continue reading
We have family in town this week, so I might be a little scarce….or at least actual projects getting done might be a little scarce. But next week is Dave’s spring break, and we have big, ginormous plans! GINORMOUS! One of the plans is 16 by 16 feet, for example. And the other one is five feet tall. Teasers. But … Continue reading
Did you know April is National Poetry Month? I knew there was a National Poetry Month, but I had to look it up to be sure of when it was. And, lucky for me (because I was going to write this post one way or another), it’s coming right up! I know what you’re thinking. You barely got over Christmas … Continue reading
Because I am in the middle of some kind of lucky streak lately (I need to go out and by some lottery tickets immediately, before it wears off), I was asked to a guest post on yet another of my very favorite blogs this week. I’m over at Number Fifty-three as part of Angela’s “Inspiring Bloggers” series. I don’t always … Continue reading
Well, three. Because it’s Friday, and that’s always fun. But also! I’m guest posting over at Cuckoo 4 Design today as part of her Living Pretty With Your Pets series, talking about our pets and about fostering dogs: Julia has an amazing blog and an amazing home, and I just love this series she’s doing. I look forward to … Continue reading
Up at the top there, where it says “tour.” We’ve been meaning to get this done….umm, since I started the blog? But, anyway, now it’s done! Well, not exactly, since the updated house tour photos are still a work in progress. But what I DO have today is a clickable floor plan (Dave did all of this, using floorplanner.com) and … Continue reading
All these snow days this winter have been very good for our productivity, I must say. I can’t remember anymore how we managed to get things done with these crazy FIVE day weeks and only two day weekends. Which is really too bad, because winter has to end sometime. Expect about three pictures in this space next month! It … Continue reading
Anu over at Nalle’s House is doing a weekly portrait of her kids project. I thought this was a lovely idea, so I stole it. Or, well, I’m going to try to do it, too. There’s an actual weekly link-up where a whole bunch of people post their pictures here at Practising Simplicity, but I don’t know that I’m going to … Continue reading
I’ve never done a monthly round up kind of post before, but I thought maybe I would this year, because making collages like that one up there is fun and satisfying. It makes me feel like we were SO PRODUCTIVE! I can come up with twelve tiny pictures to post! We MUST have been productive! Also, it helps me … Continue reading
I’ll be back tomorrow to wrap up the epic Abe’s First Birthday series, but today I’m sharing Dave’s post about how he built our foyer bench over at my friend Chris’s blog, House of Frost. Go check it out! … Continue reading
