Funny things.

I’m priming.  I’m painting.  (I know priming IS painting, but I mean a different room.)  I’m a busy girl.  But I had to stop and take a moment to share something with you. I know I’ve shared this fact before, but Jude is obsessed with toys.  Like, walk through every toy aisle in the store [...]

Leap Grand Prix {the main event}

Because you absolutely cannot have a Leap Grand Prix party without a Leap Grand Prix… and you can’t have a Leap Grand Prix without Leap Grand Prix racers… we made racers.  Or leap-cers.  <- I just made that up!  :) Let me introduce you to the line-up. In numerical order… #1 Francesco Bernoulli. #2 Lewis [...]

Leap Grand Prix {let’s talk games}

I’m so thankful Damon and Jude went out birthday cake shopping without me knowing about it, because I would have tried to stop them, even though I had no time to do what I planned.  I wanted to make cupcakes with cute toppers, and a cool Cars cupcake stand.  I would have been super stressed [...]

Leap Grand Prix {part II}

Before I begin, I have to tell you that I got these ideas from Oh Happy Day! Super fun blog; so many cute ideas!  So I will not be sharing how to make them, but will provide the links so you can go check them out yourselves.  However, I did tweak them a bit, so [...]

Cars leap too!

Over the next few days, I may need to pull out the.. Not that I have one.. I’d rock it if I did.  I’ll just have to make do with the inner Wonder Woman in me. I’m prepping for Jude’s party.  I don’t know why I just can’t buy things and be satisfied.  I always [...]

Think about it.

Last week, I took a trip to Home Depot.  I needed to pick up some paint chips, but like always… I looked around at everything.  I love it!  Aisle by aisle, I see things and my brain tries to invent new uses for them.  It’s a fun little game! As I was roaming, I spotted [...]

Just call me slacker.

Aaah! So I haven’t primed yet.  I feel like such a slacker.  Well not really, but I sure thought I’d be further along.  Here’s what happened.  I scoped out all the doors and drawers and realized that they weren’t sanded to where they needed to be.  Boo.  They aren’t supposed to have any shine left [...]

Leap with us!

Happy Monday! Today I would like to share with you a bit about our Buggy-Bug and what he’s doing for his birthday this year.  As some of you already know, Jude is our little leapling.  Yup, he’s our… And this year, as we prepare to celebrate his 1st and 4th birthday, we have decided to… [...]

Let’s be dazzling!

Lighting.  Let’s talk lighting.  If you saw my post from yesterday, that means you saw the gorgeous empire chandelier.  Yep, this one.. I’ve been drooling.  Drooling I tell you.  And by the way… do you see that runner there?  I never noticed it before, but… eh-hem!  :) I also really like this chandelier.. (via) So [...]

I must be missing the snow in the North. More white, please!

I know I said I’d talk about my cabinet painting research today, but while I’m waiting for the temps to come up so I can start priming, I find myself day dreaming!  What do I want this kitchen to really look like?  I know this isn’t all going to happen right now and by the [...]
