I’m still barely making progress but still chipping away when I can (i.e. not watching television). I took down the makeshift blackout curtain arrangement that I had up in Avery’s room and pinned on the actual blackout liners that have been sitting on the steps for two weeks. Then… THEN I dug out the Stroll-O-Chair and set it up. Read the rest of this entry »

Junior Explorers?
Magnifying glasses? Sometimes it’s better just not to ask. Mostly because asking questions like that always turns their attention from whatever they’re busy doing back to me but also because… well, what on earth? Read the rest of this entry »

The End Of Ugly Gliders
So Erin totally called me out on my empty promise to write up a tutorial for how to recover the cushions on a glider. I kind of do that all the time. But, I’m officially taking a break from my tie dye to write this. Read the rest of this entry »

Iron-On Dottie Patches!
So when Shannon asked me to test drive her new patches for her I played it cool. Sure, I said but what I was thinking was… O.M.G. YES! Of course I will! Let me at ‘em! Well, maybe I did say that but it’s only because honestly, who in their right mind would turn down an opportunity to have just a little more Sweet Pepita in their lives? Honestly.

Rocker Restyle
I finally finished this project. You probably have one of these guys at home It’s a great chair, probably relatively inexpensive and quite sturdy. The problem with these guys is that they come in four shades of hideous. Functional but a little too brown and scratchy. Read the rest of this entry »

Treats For Everybody
We spent all morning visiting a preschool that we’re considering for next year. Chase had a great time which, I suppose, is really what counts. I was thoroughly exhausted, she wanted to stay and play. After that we ran some errands Read the rest of this entry »

This Should Be An Easter Post
Easter was, after all, fantastic but first the end result of all my hard work. I’m really happy with how it turned out. Ben nearly almost totally ruined the floor but one whole night of hands and knees scrubbing has it looking more or less presentable. I wish that Orange Glo business worked as well as the commercials would have you believe. Read the rest of this entry »

Butter Up
It took me hours of pouring over paint chips to finally select this one but I’m really happy with it. I should be up there sweeping right now but alas. I steadied myself for getting a late start. I sat in the living room waiting for one or both of the girls to wake up but no, they were both out at 7:30. Read the rest of this entry »

Just One More Day of Orange
They finally came and way in advance of the worst case scenario end of November estimate. They do that to make you feel fantastic when they ship four weeks early don’t they? So I like! And I’m glad we went with orange. Do you see why I didn’t want to bother with matching wood now? What a pain. I’m not great at staging pictures. I took a bunch and this was one of the only shots without a dog butt in it. I trip on them and step on them and they persist with being constantly underfoot. Our kitchen is also crazy hard to shoot. It’s a small square room with a narrow hallway in one corner with the opening partly eclipsed by pantry shelves. If you stand in the dog bed and lean just so you can kind of get your shot.
