What Would You Put in Your Dream Bedroom?

November 14, 2011

The photo above might not look like much to you, but to me it is full of potential… Potential walls! This ‘build your own house’ gig is a lesson in patience for me. It takes a long time to double the size of your house when you are doing pretty much all of it yourself, [...]

Tackling My To Dos

November 7, 2011

After taking a week of writing blog posts last week I managed to tick off two things on my To Do list. Yep, you read that right. TWO THINGS! I had plans to knock off the majority of the items on the long list so that I wouldn’t have them hanging over my head as [...]

Toy Rotation.

September 26, 2011

We have several small ‘play spaces’ tucked into nooks and crannies of our little old house. There is a little table tucked in near our big dining table, an easel that often lives at one end of our tiny kitchen, and a corner of our living room that is dedicated to toys. We don’t have [...]

Writing Desks, Clutter, and Kids, Oh My!

September 19, 2011

There is something about the change of seasons that makes me want to change things as well. So yesterday, as The Father Figure worked on the new bit of the house, I decided it was high time the to make some changes in the old bit also. No more slacking off, no more ‘It’s not [...]

What Would You Put in Your Dream Bathroom? – Aldi Competition and Giveaway.

September 5, 2011

Burning Question – What Would You Have in your Dream Kitchen?

August 29, 2011

It both amuses me and frustrates me that I’ve blogged this very question before, 3 years before! Yes, it was three years ago that we first spoke to an architect and took the first, very tentative, steps towards our renovation. If I knew then that we would still not be even close to finished three [...]

Burning Question – How Many Clothes Do we Really Need?

August 22, 2011

Our house seems to be over flowing with clothes. Clean clothes, dirty clothes, clothes that are put away, and clothes that have been left in a heap…. and yet we still never seem to have anything to wear! I can’t decide if we have nothing to wear because we have too many clothes, the wrong [...]

2011 Christmas Printable Series – Jar Labels and a Strawberry Jam Recipe.
December 5, 2011

Lots of rain + some sunshine = bucket loads of strawberries! Over the past few weeks we have had strawberries coming out of our ears. We have made muffins, and smoothies and cupcakes, and pie and we’ve eaten so many fresh strawberries I am actually kinda over them (I never thought that would happen), but [...]
