Stalled Living Room Progress
I recently convinced myself that I HAD to have a white slip cover for our Ektorp sectional. I’ve heard so many good things about the wash-ability and wear of the white cover from families with multiple kids, that I became obsessed with the idea of buying one. They are only $99 and would look so...
In with the New, Out with the Brass – Hardware Makeover
In Monday’s post, I mentioned that we worked on a few projects around the house over the weekend. The credit for today’s post truly goes to my hubby, though, because he did all of the work on this one. I think I have mentioned at least once before that when I get a hair brained...
A Weekend in iPhone Pictures
The hubs and I managed to stay pretty busy this last weekend working on a few small projects around the house. It was the first weekend that we have had in a while that we haven’t had prior engagement such as shuttling a kid to gymnastics class or having pictures retakes done 20 miles away....
Kitchen Organization Ideas
One of the first rooms that I would like to tackle as part of my “Get Organized” goal for 2013 is the kitchen. I wouldn’t say that the kitchen is all that bad, but there are definitely specific areas that need some help. Today I’m going to highlight a few of those pesky problem areas...
Happy New Year! 2013 Goals
I’m going to jump on the bandwagon today and do what everyone else is doing; declare my resolutions for 2013. Although, I would rather set specific goals rather than “resolutions” because it seems that people tend to set and forget resolutions after just a few days. I have read that the best way to make...

Wow, it’s been a whole month since I last posted. I am sooo sorry to those who I have left hanging since our inspirational closet organization post. I had the whole week of Thanksgiving off of my day job and thought that I would be able to get a LOT done. After 2 days off...
Some Hall Closet Organization Inspriation
Since we’ve been working on sprucing up our (living room), our hall closet is another attached space has also needed a little attention. The entrance to our home brings you right into the living room. Everyone says that first impressions are lasting, and your first impression of our place would be, “wow, this family has...
A Living Room Makeover – Teaser
The hubs and I were pretty busy this weekend. Okay, I do have to admit that Saturday was a pretty lazy day, but we did bust our butts yesterday rearranging furniture and painting. Every few months, my hubby likes to swap couches and furniture around to change things up a bit. Because there are just...
October 2012 Recap
October was a busy month, and it feels like fall is already over. We took a couple of trips to PA to visit my parents, went to an amusement park, pumpkin patches, and Trick-or-Treating of course! The kids had an absolute blast Trick-or-Treating. Living in Annapolis, schools were closed for a couple of days due...
Fun Fall Styles for Boys
Today, we are focusing on fun fall styles for boys. Does anyone else feel like boys are harder to shop for as they get older? There are always all these cute baby clothes (post coming tomorrow about those) but I have noticed that the selection becomes pretty limited once boys are out of the baby...
Fun Fall Looks for Baby Girls
Yesterday I promised that I would cover cute fall looks for other age groups. So, today I have rounded up some adorable fall fashions for baby and toddler girls! I stuck with my usual stores; Target, Carters, Old Navy, and threw in Gap this time as well. Gap and Old Navy really fall under the...
