I decided to paint Bj's office yesterday and today it is done! This kind of lickity split do good home reno thing has not been happening for me lately (see my many, MANY unfinished projects). But I did do it for a semi selfish reason, so I could move all my junk in! I need …

Corners of my home – The phone Cabinet
I've never participated in Corners of My Home before, but today I had that moment of walking by this cabinet like to every day and suddenly I just saw it. I saw it in it's poor neglected, unchanged state and realized that was what I was meant to work on today. Forget about the wonderful …
I wouldn’t bet my life on it
A couple weeks ago Bj asked if while I was out I could pick up some custom spray paint to match our walls to paint the utility box cover. I was like, "um, they don't make custom spray paint." "Oh they don't," he said. "Ya, I'd bet my life on it." Well turns out they …
A warmer welcome
Oh my goodness this took longer than I thought it would. I envisioned an evening of putting furniture together, spray painting a table and dressing up the porch. After three goes at the bench, and a little bit of tub soaking, multiple spray paint "issues" and the quickest planting ever the porch is dressed! I …
Happy and Shinny!
It is really heating up here in more ways than one… First of all the temperature has been hotter than ever – into the 90s. Hot weather calls for awesomely cute little outfits. Tutu wore this little number from my friend Stacy: Doesn't she look cute? Thanks again Stacy we love it. Funny thing though, …

Tuesday and I did decide to get out this morning. She helped by getting me up way earlier than I wanted to, but it worked out as we were at the first sale before it started. Me, Tuesday and about thirty farmers. Oops, guess it wasn't the great sale I was hoping for. I only …
Windows
So original on the title, I know. So the bee situation seems to be under control. This is not what fixed it: But it does show you the horrid state of our windows. It also shows you Tuesday's new My First Baby Legs. We picked those up at Target yesterday, love them! Okay so really …
Friggin Bees
We could go with a post about my lovely in laws visiting, or some new spinning, or the great weather we had, or even our three new windows, but instead: bees. On Saturday when our tree stump removal guy was here (which is pretty awesome by the way, the process), he pointed out some bee …
You didn’t think the remodel was done did you?
Because it is so not. The night before I went into labor I enthusiastically ripped up the paper protecting our wood floors and vowed we were done, no more workers upstairs at least. Of course they still did pop up a bit to finish a few things. And when Tutu was a couple days old …

But you’re a newborn!
Apparently no one told Tuesday that newborns are supposed to get lots of sleep, I think my daughter actually might be allergic to it. No, no, this isn't a case of doesn't-want-to-sleep-at-night-its, this is a case of went from 7:15am – 6:45pm WITH OUT A NAP. Is that crazyville or what? She filled her time …
