You've heard the saying, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Well, I've got news for you. At Annabelle's cake smash session in honor of her first birthday, she had it {all over} and ate it too. Look at her. She doesn't care what old sayings tell us. She's...
Awkward Moments Related to My Age.

Step into my cloffice…
Remember 2014's first project? Yes, that hideous closet that I left untouched after completing the bedroom remodel...that's exactly what I'm talking about. Well, it's done. And I even had a day or two to spare. It might not be as lavish as other cloffices floating...
DIY Dry Erase Board
Well friends, Derek worked late last night...which means I was up late working on finishing the cloffice. Today is January 29 and my goal was to have it finished by the end of the month. Looks like I met the goal with 2 days to spare. It's really nice when that...

Polar Vortex
As you may have noticed, it's been cold. Really cold. Now, I'm not going to jump on my high horse and tell you that I'm better and more hard core than you because I live in Practically Canada and it's been colder here than wherever you are. That's not my game. They...
2014’s First Project {excuse the mess}
Excuse the mess. This is embarrassing, but it's real. This is real life. In my house. What you see before you is a 2013 project left unfinished. In its uncompleted state it festered into a catchall eye sore, a place for me to stash things without a home. My...
2013 In Review
