Could you, would you have white walls? (Plus an accent wall sneak peek)

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

I’d continue that rhyme from my oh-so-super title but the only thing I can think of that rhymes with “walls” in the .74 seconds I am giving myself to spend on this beginning is “Could you, would you something something balls” and we just won’t go there. Except we probably already did. Apologies.

With the possible...

Lead Poisoning: What Every Parent Needs to Know

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

You all know that my blog is not a tireless dirge of doom and gloom. (I talk about bras too much for that to be the case.) But there is one topic that, while definitely being home improvement-related, does not fit in with the usual form of levity around these parts. Nonetheless, it has hit close to home and I hope the...

The Difference Four Weeks Makes

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

In four weeks, the trees went from bare to beautiful. In four weeks, I went from looking like perhaps I needed to get off the couch occasionally to more like I’m the owner of a legit prego tummy.

As one of my 7th graders wrote on a note to me: “You get bigger and bigger every day. I think it’s awesome.” Seriously, they...

Going Drip-Splat-Smear Happy

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

Allow me to highlight some key differences between myself and Rick.

Difference #1: Rick stores his ties from a hanger and makes sure that all are hung at precisely the same height. I store my scarves in a box on the floor and occasionally even on the floor. No precision required.

Difference #2: Rick puts all of the forks...

Get pregnant. Get other people to get things done.

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

If you’re in need of some motivation to get things done around your house, I recommend getting pregnant. If you’re in need of some motivation for sitting on the couch while your husband does all of the work around the house, I recommend getting pregnant.

How Rick spent his weekend:

How I spent my weekend:

Yep. This will...

Radioactive Martian Chandelier

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

Our half bath was recently overtaken by aliens. This particular breed of alien is known to masquerade as overhead lighting. Its MO involves devouring boob lights. The fluorescent green color commonly known as Rustoleum Key Lime? Another red flag. Er, green flag.

Key lime? Seriously, if your key lime pie is this color, do...

Six Easy Designs for Handmade Cards

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

It’s been a lot of years since I bought a card from the store. This might have something to do with the fact that I have enough card-making supplies stashed to build a small village out of cardstock and then fuel said village indefinitely using solely scrapbook paper.

One thing that sometimes gets me stuck, though, is...

Thirteen-Week Bump Check Comedy

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

You’ll have to humor me. We’ve been taking bump pictures every four weeks and, well, at 13 weeks, my pants no longer button up: a fact that I am way too excited about. Seriously, I love my baby belly…at least for now while it isn’t making me tip over and/or want to expunge its contents immediately because hello a human b...

Magically Magical Den Updates

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

Contrary to the popular belief established by me not mentioning our house progress in like 9.38 years, we do still live here and, believe it or not, we do still complete projects. We’ve even done them in the past 9.38 years. They just haven’t made the blog because, well, let’s face it, not much at all has made the blog l...

Three Ridiculous Things I Have Cried At in the Past 24 Hours

Authors: Erin @ His and Hers

The conversation goes something like this:

Erin:(Upon seeing something highly emotional like a fairly hideous cat eating Fancy Feast food out of a ceramic dish) *Sniffle* *Snuffle* *Pbbbhhhfftt* (That’s a nose blow, obviously, like you had to ask.)

Rick: Are you crying?

Erin: No…I’m just…it’s just…so cute…

I embarrass...
