Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 Boomer and I stopped at the store yesterday, on the way home from school, to look at new curtains for his room. We didn’t find curtains that either of us liked but I did find these interesting roller shades that I’m going to try.
The shades were all one size but the box claims […]
Springtime Fix Up
Saturday, April 19th, 2008 When we remodeled/renovated/rebuilt our house, I got to pick out most of the details. Things like light fixtures and faucets were my department. The choices were huge - paring it down was quite a job! All in all, I think I did a good job.
The one thing that Brian did insist upon was that […]
Considering A Home Improvement
Thursday, March 20th, 2008 I am so wanting summer to get here soon. I want to go swimming!
I really miss not having a pool in the backyard but it was just getting to be a pain to keep up. The kids would rather go to the public pool with all there friends (and away from their mother) […]
Kids Are Costly
Friday, March 7th, 2008 Anyone with kids knows that they can do unbelievable damage to a home. Well, at least boys can. I don’t remember ever being as destructive as my boys are and even my mom has said the same thing.
My sisters and I loved baths. We played in the tub just as any kid does. […]
Decorating With Nick
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007 How do you convince a kid that an artificial Christmas tree is just as good as a real one? Better yet, how do you convince him that fake is better, at least in this case?
Nick keeps talking about wanting a “real” tree. Never mind that he has allergies, just as Levi and Jesse do. […]
Weekend Recap
Sunday, December 9th, 2007Last year, at the end of the Christmas season, we tossed out our Christmas tree. I’d bought the pre-lit tree for $99 in 2002 or 2003. It lasted 4 or 5 years so I was happy. I wasn’t happy that the lights didn’t work for more than half of the season last year […]
Room Shuffle
Monday, December 3rd, 2007Nick is back to work on the apartment out back. That means that we’ll be able to re-do his room and shuffle people around a little. Maggie wants Nick’s room when he moves out. We’ll probably turn Maggie’s room into a spare bedroom for Jesse when he comes home to visit and leave Kendyll’s […]
4th Quarter, No Score
Monday, November 26th, 2007 I’m not much of a TV person. My kids watch movies and some favorite shows; Kendyll has Dora and Diego DVDs. I could probably get by with one small TV, though. Well, except during football season, that is.
This is Monday so that means football. And tonight the Steelers are playing. Okay, a scoreless game […]
A Litte Bit Of Housecleaining
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 I’ve sitting at my computer for two days and have barely touched the work I need to do. This morning I figured out why. My office was cluttered.
I hate when papers and “stuff” collect on my desk. I hate when I can barely see the surface of my desk or find a spot […]
Who Gets To Decorate?
Sunday, September 9th, 2007 Do you remember when you were younger and newly married? Do you remember trying to mesh two different styles into one home? Yeah, me too. And we’re going through that here.
Brit love leopard print. She has all kinds of things in leopard print. It doesn’t bother me; to each his own, you know? […]
