I’ve always felt that there are two types of people in the world. Those who looooove Christmas, and those who just tolerate it. I’ve always considered myself a big fan, but I do have a confession to make. For the past 4 years or so, my Christmas cheer has been barely peeking it’s nose out to…

We Eat This The Most
You don’t need a recipe for this. I dig. My cousin suggested it to me and we’ve never looked back. We eat it at least once a week. And would you believe it’s healthy? And vegan – if you choose the right ingredients, of course. Heat up a can of black beans (rinsed) with a…
Quick Little Bathroom Update
Our bathroom has been made over before. We’ve changed the floor tiles & the shower doors and Paul painted his little heart out on all the cabinets. That was… 4 years ago? I think. Pre-child. Since Stevie is the one who has reign over the guest bathroom now, I just wanted to update it again…
Avocados
I really have no business writing about anything that goes on in a kitchen. But at least you know if I spent time in there and made something, its going to be super easy. I would like to dedicate this post to avocados. Earth’s most perfect fruit. They’re a fruit right? I love them so…
DIY-ish Nail Polish Rack
Have you ever shopped for a nail polish rack? They are not that easy to find and they are pretty darn expensive. I thought I would get one of those plastic ones – like they have at the salon? But there are so many other things I’d rather do with $90, I couldn’t bring myself to click…
Patio Makeover!
If you follow me on Instagr.am, this is kind of old news. But I’ve gotta give the patio some love on the blog. Paul and I have lived in our condo for nearly 6 (SIX) years now. Hard to believe sometimes. We have updated several things – remodeled the kitchen, added crown molding and replaced…
DIY Week, I Guess!
Well I got one more project under my belt this week. I honestly don’t know what’s come over me! But this one was super cute, cheap and easy. I have these really old IKEA frames that I keep re-purposing, and an old Scrabble game (that has now been replaced with the much cooler Scrabble Deluxe)…
Gallery
I have this one wall. It’s hosted a bookshelf and a painting or two. But I never quite knew what to do with it. So after Pinterestingaround, I realized immediately that I should do the gallery wall that I’ve often thought of. I knew it didn’t want it too matchy. And I knew I did…
Home Improvement
For the past 4 years or so, my husband and I have been all talk about remodeling our kitchen. We would come up with a plan, start weighing our options, then decide it was just too expensive and scrap the idea. I can’t even count how many times we did that. Our latest plan was…
Fresh Coat
The last couple weeks I have been keeping busy with projects around the house – mostly painting. When we first moved into the condo in ’05 and painted the living room, we chose a color that we THOUGHT would look great. We didn’t buy any test samples, just 4 gallons of Lavender Moon. Yeah, that…
