This post brought to you by BMO Harris Bank N.A. Member FDIC. All opinions are 100% mine. My husband and I bought our first and only home in the fall of 2007. We didn't renew our apartment least and moved into my parent's house that summer while we began the process of house hunting. We were planning on five years in the house, but wanted something that could last us longer, if that is where life took us. I am fortunate enough to have a dad as a realtor, so not only do I have my dad ...

Bathroom Updates, Organization & Printable
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 ...
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.

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. More on the kiddo stuff later. Today, it is the pretty things. Styling a shelf is a little bit of things up and down, sideways, paired, stacked, etc. These are things acquired over time. A bulb box I decoupaged, a tray on clearance from Target, a leather rope ball also on clearance at Target, ...
Boys and their Toys
I first revealed Quinn's room way back when--you can check it out here. Most of his room has stayed just so. It is actually kind of a miracle, since I have a tendency to change things up. A lot! One of the changes we made was adding a bulletin board. I actually picked up the bulletin board for Quinn on his first day of school. I thought it would be fun to give him a place to display his school papers and projects. Right now the hockey poster is taking up most of the space. My sister took him ...
