Uh, this might seem like a weird post for the one immediately following our 'look how much we love our house' feature in the paper...awkward. I have straight up had it with our city. In the 5 years we've lived here, we have watched our services go down (recycling pickup every two weeks instead of every...Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feature

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to have a reporter come out to the house and do an interview for the paper. They were interested in our home renovation story, and also the Renovation Roadtrip we participated in last October. The timing was a little stressful since we...10 months

Ashford turned 10 months old on the 5th.He has two more top teeth coming in, which brings his grand total to 6. He has also eaten all the paint off his pretty white crib. I got this just in time to not prevent the damage. Luckily, it works, and I guess I can always touch up the...

When we bought this house, we were told by our new neighbor that the little room attached to our master bedroom was a full bathroom at some point.I have no idea why they knew that or what made them tell us about it before we even closed on the house...maybe because Boozy Susie took out the plumbing for no...

Yep, we refinished our two remaining rooms upstairs over the last week and a half. We are very tired and very done with refinishing floors, luckily we really are done - until we buy a new house. We've been sleeping in our living room on a mattress and were delighted to move our stuff back into the room...9 months

Ashford turned 9 months old a couple weeks ago. Taking his picture in the buggy is becoming quite impossible. He keeps standing up because sitting is so BORING...I reach out to stop him from falling and sit him back down, try to take a pic fast, and end up with this:
A blurry jack in the box, you can't...

Here I am. I kept starting this post and then deleting it because it would end up depressing or apologetic or somehow 'woe is me,' so I have put it off. I will just say that I've basically been a single parent for the month of February and it does not agree with me. Actually, I don't know that...7 months and life stuff

Hello. My name is Sara, and I used to run this home renovation blog when I wasn’t at my day job. Now, my 'spare' time is spent following around a baby and wondering what kind of Twilight Zone I’m in where weekends are over in .2 seconds and my house is a constant disaster. Since Ashford started crawling and c...Huffington Post Feature

Hey everyone, I hope you had a wonderful new year! We went out with my brother and his lady for NYE while my mom watched the little nugget, and it was divine. There was champagne, party head gear, and sequins involved. Here is a photo to prove that I did not fall asleep on the couch at 10pm as...Making labels

Yesterday Shaun decided he wanted to make cookies. From scratch, with the oldest baking essentials in the world, because I don't bake and there is no need to have fresh flour or brown sugar in our house. I think our Baking Soda was from two years ago. Along with the old products, there were old...
