One afternoon last week, I looked out the window, saw that the light looked decent for picture taking, noted that it was nearly halfway through November, and ran upstairs to grab clean blue shirts for all the kids. Milo and Gus had a friend over, so we left the poor kid inside eating nachos while I herded everyone outside to … Continue reading
Today I present easy to follow instructions for making your own DIY projector screen! I have to say, the whole process of buying and setting up a projector is, for me, very mysterious and difficult to comprehend. I feel like the more I read about it the less I understand. So I came across a lot of tutorials out there … Continue reading
After spending six weeks working frantically to get the basement sort of finished in time for Fall in Love reveal week, we were ready for a more laid back kind of weekend. Also I got hit with a cold Saturday night. Boo. So no big project completions to blog about at the moment. We did start working on the dining … Continue reading
We had six weeks to finish a room in our basement as part of the Fall In Love series with 17 other bloggers….and the big reveal day is finally here! Room makeover deadlines are funny things.

Gus was the only kid who requested a tricky costume this year, but it was a bit of a doozy. Generally if your kid is interested in dressing up as a video game character for Halloween, you can … Continue reading

I did monthly updates on Abe until he turned 18 months, so I thought halfway between a year and a half and two (!) might be a good time for a check in. If you read my trip recap, you have a pretty good idea of what Abe’s like these days. He’s crazy and full of energy and exhausting and … Continue reading
Last Friday was Dave’s birthday, and we celebrated with a quick weekend trip. This trip’s itinerary changed a ridiculous number of times between when we planned it a few months ago and when it actually happened. It originally was going to include Providence Canyon State Park (in fact, going back there after Abe got sick and cut our last trip … Continue reading
