After a horrible horrible horrible week of kids puking, pooping, crying, whining, etc, I was looking forward to the weekend.  The weekend couldn’t come fast enough and yet, the week dragged on and on.  More puke, more poop, more boogers.  FINALLY, Friday came and I had positive thoughts. Until: Do you notice what is missing?…

I know,  I know…. I am seriously crazy.  We only moved into this house 6 months ago and this is my 3rd time redoing our living room.  However, I have a good feeling this time!  Want to know why?  Well, because I sold everything today.  lol.  I literally sold all our living room furniture today,…

I think this is the 3rd or 4th time I have posted about our living room!  Clearly, this is a room I struggle with, but I am determined to make it work.  My major design issue is that it is the very first room people see in our house and I want it to be…

Finally!  I finally have some time to update my blog with pictures from this past Christmas!  It was so fun this year because both kids were old enough to be excited about all the presents and the decorations.  And they got PLENTY of cool toys, trust me!
