Charging On the Go – with Verizon

We were sent these items from Verizon for a short free trial in exchange for sharing our opinion on them. All opinions are our own.  With the arrival of our little babe a couple of weeks ago, you can imagine there has been a lot of phone usage around here, from taking photos to calling grandparents on Skype. And, since our phones are a little on the older side by now (we’re not upgraders until the

Hello, Fall and Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Because of the whole “being nine months pregnant thing,” I didn’t do much in the way of fall decorating around here, but I did pull out a few little fun things, like my mini gold pumpkin flower pots I made last year.   And, because Will gets so excited about pumpkins, I hid a few others around the house for him to find. So, our home isn’t super decked out for Halloween,

Nursery Progress

I know I’ve been griping and complaining about how slow progress has been for the nursery, but the truth is that we ARE chipping away at it. It’s just a slow progress. Still, I should give a little update of where we are so far and what projects we’ve managed to complete. You know, considering we’re like a week away from my due date now. Ha! 1.Scraping and painting the ceiling. This room still had

A Sweet Sectional for our Basement Family Room

So, it’s no secret we’re behind on things around here. I already admitted we were not as far along with the nursery as I would like to be when I shared the mood board for that room in THIS POST. But, one thing that has been done for awhile and just not shared yet is the basement sectional. So, it’s time to introduce the newest member of the household: Isn’t she pretty? For anyone else in

Basement Cabinet Toe Kick Quick Fix – Ikea Hack

We gave our review of our Ikea cabinets that we added to the basement, HERE, and hinted at a little problem that required us to brainstorm up our own little Ikea hack to fix the way the toe kick looked. As background for the issue we’re talking about… the toe kicks from IKEA come with two end caps that you would use if your cabinets weren’t butting up to a wall. Like this corner in our

Garden Update

Well, it’s summer and that usually means a bunch of garden updates for you all, as that does take a decent amount of energy to maintain but I’m pregnant and sweaty this summer… and sore (hello, second baby, #amIright?) so I’ve been a bit less enthusiastic about working in the garden, but I have managed to do a few things. Will and I water out there a couple times a week and I try to

Ikea Cabinet Review

We’re still playing catch up on updating you all on everything we have going on, but we wanted to go ahead and give a full review and breakdown of what we thought after using Ikea cabinets for our basement project. Honestly, I’ve wanted to try them for awhile because a lot of bloggers I follow rave about them in terms of value and “hackability” compared to other cabinet options for built-ins on a budget. Style: We
