reno reveal and crossing off #7

Our recent renovation was complete a while ago, but I haven’t been able (read: lazy) to take photos or blog about it for quite some time. It’s funny, but unless I blog about it, I don’t feel I can cross it off my list. Continue reading

closet crafting

When the seasons start to transition, I will usually spend a day clearing out my closets and drawers and making room for bulkier Fall clothing. I usually end up with a pile of clothes for donation.

lunchbox goodness: creative ham & cheese

Now that K has started school, packing a healthy and fun lunch for her has been added to my morning routine. I try my best to prepare most things the night before, but I hate soggy sandwiches, so there are some things that just have to be pulled together in the morning. Continue reading
