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
My favorite pictures are always the ones where he looks so serious! He’s really a very happy baby most of the time. But he’s stiller when he’s not smiling. Big, huge month for Abe! Here’s why: He started walking about two weeks ago, and he’s very proud of himself. It’s really fun to learn to walk when … Continue reading
It’s not that big of a reveal, since I’ve already unveiled most of the changes and projects in here. But maybe you can just pretend to be surprised. Abe’s original nursery was in a sectioned off part of our bedroom. It looked like this: To celebrate Abe becoming a toddler, we moved him down the hall to his own room, our … 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

Instead, we were gone for less than 24 hours, and I only have one exciting tourist destination to show you. Ari … Continue reading
I decided to go with the foyer for the next part of the house tour to get updated because 1. it’s small and easy to clean to get it ready and 2. it has a new rug! with birds on it! Let’s start there. I’ve had my eye on this rug from Urban Outfitters for months now, but … Continue reading
I really like collections of things. You have to be careful with collections, because sometimes when you’re in tenth grade you tell people that you collect, say, cows, and then that’s all you get for every birthday and holiday for years is cow stuff. And sometimes you collect things by accident, like laundry and dog fur. But sometimes you … 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
