One of the biggest changes that comes with life with kids is the stuff. If you have kids, you probably realized that about five seconds into your baby shower.

And It All Comes Together…

First it was feeling empty and I scored a Goodwill mirror so it went from this: To this: And now it looks like this: Like I said, work in progress. Yes, that is a frame filler still ...
