Paw print fun!

Last night Jude and I were coloring on his chalk table and when it was filled up, we started cleaning it with a wet wipe.  This is what happened… Jude got so excited when he saw the hand print, (that he called a paw print because he’s in love with Blue’s Clues) that he wanted [...]

changes are a comin’

So today  I made up my mind to paint our kitchen cabinets white.  I’ve wanted to for a long time but today was the day I really decided to make it happen.  I’m sure Damon will be nervous, after all, they are almost brand new.  If we had found this house before they were in, [...]

My hands are itching to get some painting done around here.  I have a dresser that needs a new paint color (a CL find) and the weather is seriously hindering me.  Come on spring!!! White Metal Candelabra Chandelier for $20. I see it either staying white or spray painted one of these colors from Krylon: [...]

New discoveries.

I gave Jude playdoh for the second time ever today.  I think he must not have understood how much fun it could be the first time because he played with it for almost six hours today AND he wore a smock and would not take it off all day!   I wish I could find the [...]

Item of the day…

Ever heard of this fun little site called Craigslist?  Haha… j/k.  Of course you have.  Well,  for me, it’s an addiction!  I find such cute stuff on there and have nowhere to go with it!  I just sit here and get giddy over staring at something that is so cheap and so fun, and then… [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Check out firecat for these pretty little ceramic hearts. .. and to my sweet, sweet Damon – Nakupenda!  You make me happy.  And as simple as that sounds, it’s just as complex. P.S. – ignore the antonyms. To my children: Make a Smilebox greeting

best of intentions..

I planned to blog two days ago.  Two days!  I’m not sure what happened. Maybe I got distracted by the sheer amount of snow that fell from the sky.  It felt like it was never going to end!  And for the record, Alvie boy (our pup) is standing in the snow!  It’s crazy deep.Maybe it [...]
