I don’t know if you know this, but my mom is kind of a genius. See, I have this habit/skill (depending on how you look at it) of looking at something, thinking about it for awhile, and if I don’t like my existing options, I eventually come up with a way to make it on my own and make it how I want…I...

I’m a reader and always have been. Naturally, one of the first thing I started doing was checking out some books and seeing what I could learn about all things baby.
First up — when I went to the doctor for my 6 week check up, she gave me the book, “Your Pregnancy & Childbirth Month to...

This your public service announcement from DIYTheory. I learned about a pretty freaky website recently, call Spokeo. It catalogs everything about you from any available public source or social media site. In addition to your phone number, address, etc. the site pulls in your family members, your estimated economic v...

In case you are worried you are having a Groundhog day scenario going on and are still living Wednesday, I know I’m a day late…I’m not sure how it’s already Thursday! When discussing whether or not Glee was on tonight, I told Steve it’s not on Tuesday’s anymore, so it won’t...

Happy Wednesday!! Thought I’d drop in to give you an update on the nursery!
Steve spent the weekend on a mountain bike adventure (and if you remember last time he did that, I painted the entire garage by myself) so my mom decided to come down and help me with some nursery stuff (and make sure I didn’t get...
Baby Talk Wednesday: Going Gaga

Remember when I told you about Bob awhile back? Well, our friend Becky (who first posted about Bob) also posted about her diaper bag. Again, knowing that Becky is very thorough in her research, I was immediately drawn to her diaper bag pick.
Which diaper bag does she have? The Go Gaga slide tote.

This weekend I decided to head to Dubuque, IA to visit my sister. We did some awesome garage sale-ing/thrifting (more to come on that) and then decided to spend a bit of time working on some crafts! My sister doesn’t really care much for crafts, so when she agreed, I was really surprised but definitely took h...

No matter how many rooms I paint, I still can’t get over what a good coat of paint can really do for a room. We tackled the nursery and it looks FANTASTIC.

Progress:
That’s right, no more giant N on the wall or jarring red paint assaulting your senses. Just a lovely calm, soothing, gray.

Our nursery is not very glamorous right now, in fact, it’s the least blogged about room in our entire house. I know I’ve written at least 3 times the blog posts about bathrooms. As a refresher, this is what we are working with:
Giant red N on the wall, gold/white ceiling fan and some poorly painted red...
Baby Talk Wednesday: Nursery Fabric

We did it, we finally have a sort of nursery plan. I had some rough ideas (check ‘em out here) of what I wanted the nursery to look like, but really, I wanted to find the fabric first before getting too committed to any idea.
A few weekends ago ago, I headed to Minneapolis for a girls trip with my BFF Melissa....
