Last night I had a huge hankering for some of my “famous” primal brownies but since we have a tree nut allergy in the house I knew that wasn’t going to happen. Or was it. 🙂 I decided to do a little bit of experimentation and substituted out the almond butter with sunbutter. I also poured the batter into cupcake […]
It seems that once again Ashley and I have several projects going on but none that are quite finished. We also have quite a few projects that are finished but we just don’t have pictures taken yet. Here is what we have completed and I hope to post on soon. Chicken Nugget’s room remodel Craft Girl’s room […]
I am not a fan of can lights in any part of the house except for the basement. They seem so plain and boring to me. Wouldn’t you know it our house has them all over the place – kitchen, hallways, etc. The first one to be replaced was the one located in the kitchen […]
Our house has a lot of brass. Brass doorknobs mirrors, light fixtures, and switch plates. Oh yeah, we also hate brass. Hate it. So we did what any homeowner would do in our situation. We spray painted! We started out with a plan to do the door knobs and it quickly escalated into the bathroom mirror […]
This last Saturday, I did something that I have not done in years: I ran a 5k. To add a twist to it, I did it pushing my 18 month old son! I did not have a huge desire to run but the proceeds of the race go towards a really good cause – The Kade Meyer […]
Ashley has this old ladder that once belonged to her Grandmother. For awhile it sat in the corner of our room upright holding our stereo, books, and other decorations. When we moved into our new home, Ashley decided she wanted to hang it on the wall and use it as a book shelf. A quick […]
Just a little teaser picture to show you that work has, in fact, started on the kitchen island. I am taking my time and doing a little bit every night in an attempt to not get too overwhelmed. So far I am really happy with the progress. Below is my list of things to do: […]
I just noticed that I have not put anything up on this blog for almost a month now. Truth is, I haven’t really been doing much around the house in the last 30 days. The last project I completed was the deck and it, combined with the heat, took a lot out of me and left a […]
We finally finished the deck! To date this was the biggest project that we have tackled at our new home. It didn’t help that it was almost always 100 degrees or above everyday that we worked on it. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Here is what the deck looked like […]
Did a few projects around the house this weekend. One of which I will post later on this week (hint – its a sandbox with cover). One of the biggest projects and most time consuming ones was buying and assembling our kid’s new trampoline. The time consuming part was because I removed all of the […]
