You don't have to compromise on clean to be green. This weekend we tackled our bathroom. Remember a week before my scheduled c-section with baby #3 when we gutted the bathroom? We finished it just in time and there it sat. This weekend it got a good cleaning, some reorganization and some style, because let's face it--that is the fun part. I re-organized the shelf above the toilet. It use to house pull-ups for Eleanor, but I found a new home for those. Now it has toilet paper, towels and ...
Decorating
Robot Nursery
I have given you glimpses of Hudson's room-- like this gallery wall. The completely talented husband made all the art and you can get the blast off printable here. Clearly, since baby number three's arrival almost 10 months ago, I have been slacking. The vision I have for this room hasn't been met. I think that is part of why I haven't shared. I don't know when or if it will ever reach that level of completion, but I still want to share it with you. It is ...
Shelf Styling, Because I Like Pretty Things
It is possible to have pretty things and kids at the same time. We kind of have managed to blend the best of both worlds-- mom's pretty things and all the kiddo stuff. So much kiddo stuff.

A bulb box I decoupaged, a tray on clearance from Target, a leather rope ball also on clearance at Target, ...
For the Sake of the Children
When the Christmas decorations came down Eleanor was all about, what comes next? She was constantly asking to decorate. I didn't feel like decorating, but it just made the kids so darn happy that I couldn't help but share in their joy. Just a little. Kids have a way of doing that to you--of making you see the world just a little differently. I had this package of doily hearts sitting around that I gave to the kids, along with some watercolors and I let them do their thang. I ...
Kindergarten Chic Christmas- Handmade & Colorful
I know there are some bloggers out there rocking Christmas straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog and I'm all, look at my paper rings folks! I already blogged my dining room wall, which I like to consider the equivalent of my mantle. I also blogged about this fun kid project here. We left off with my complaining about the disaster and the diminishing daylight. And wouldn't you know it--I got that house clean and guess what? It was dark. Three kids live here. I wasn't leaving it up to ...
