I was flipping through my CB2 catalog and saw this Bubble Wreath. Isn’t it cute? I think I might try to make one, although it does require nailing. Hmmm…. I wonder how Superdad would feel about me putting a bunch of holes in the wall?

I have some big news… we’re expecting a BABY! Our new little one will be arriving sometime next April, and everyone (especially Piper who loves babies) is excited. So I’ve been starting to think nursery, which means our lovely guest room will be getting a makeover and new purpose. Funny thing is just last November…
A few weeks back I was sorting clothes in the laundry room (approximately 4-8 steps away from the kitchen) when I “heard” silence. I quickly ran to the kitchen to find this: That’s my precious (then) almost-two-year-old son sampling suckers from the pantry. Yes, a professionally child-proofed pantry.

Today as I was lining our kitchen garbage can with a new plastic bag I thought about how little things can make life so much better. (Yes, I got that from a garbage can liner.) Believe me, you need to try them. Glad Vanilla Scented Odor Shield bags are the highlight of my garbage-bag-changing experience….
Keeping my house super clean is unfortunately not one of my superpowers. Which is why I love Mrs. Meyers.

As promised, here are photos of the final masterpiece that is our girls’ room: The window valance was the result of a very pleasant first experience with Etsy’s custom forum called Alchemy. The process was simple. I posted a new request for someone to sew curtains for me. The form allowed me to describe the…
I told my oldest daughter that she could pick the paint color for her room. Big surprise, she picked pink. What I hadn’t really planned on, though, was the incredibly bright shade she set her heart on. It is in the neighborhood of hot pink and aptly named “Invitation to a Princess.” Perhaps I should…
Well, new to us anyway. I love our huge, old dining table, but sadly it is too big for the space in our new house, so we had to find another one. I searched Craigslist and found this beauty. I love Craigslist — even though we had a very tight budget I was still able…
Given how much I’ve been griping about ALL the wallpaper there is to remove in our new house (walls and walls of it), I can’t believe that today I’m actually looking at wallpaper and thinking, “Hmm, that’s cute. Maybe I should put that in my house.” But Marimekko (an incredible Scandinavian designer) just introduced a…
