Our updated living room

Authors: Kim@NewlyWoodwards

Over the weekend, I took down the Breeze playard in the living room and with a few changes, it truly made it feel like a new space. Little things can make such a big difference in a room.

So, I thought this was a good time to share the living room, in its current state. I also updated the house tour tab with before and...

A Roomba review

Authors: Kim@NewlyWoodwards

I hate to vacuum.  Hate. It.

And my hatred grew after having Henry. I didn’t want to “waste” my time vacuuming the house, but as Henry got bigger and mobile, it was necessary to vacuum nearly every day. Otherwise, Henry would be always wearing  a pug fur coat. It’s very stylish.

It probably...

Forty weeks

Authors: Kim@NewlyWoodwards

One housekeeping note: NewlyWoodwards made the switch to WordPress over the weekend and there may be some glitches. I still have to clean up some things and fix some links and pages, but think the move will allow me a lot more freedom and flexibility in the future. Please let me know if you have any troubles or see...

I will … March 2013

Authors: Kim @ NewlyWoodwards


This month, I'm focusing on betterment.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the person I am and how I want to be perceived. In "real life" and online. I keep coming back to the idea of encouragement. I want to be someone who encourages, who shares kind words and positive feedback and love and gratitude. Who writes...

I did … February 2013

Authors: Kim @ NewlyWoodwards

Plan meals … Meal planning really helped our weeknights run smoothly this month. We stuck to it pretty well and ate at home almost every night. I spent 10 minutes making the plan on Sunday morning and then we did a quick...

Using containers for simple kitchen organization

Authors: Kim @ NewlyWoodwards

I'm on a mission to purge and organize. It's something fairly common at the start of the year, I believe. There have been several great posts on other blogs recently about organizing your kitchen (one of my favorites is Tidy Kitchen Tips by Decor and the Dog).

As usual, I'm a few months behind.

But while I...

Featured on Brooklyn Limestone

Authors: Kim @ NewlyWoodwards

Eeeeeek. Big news! Henry's nursery (and Henry himself) made it onto Brooklyn Limestone's Favorite Nook series today.
To say that Henry is thrilled would be an understatement.

Okay, fine. I'm mostly the one who's excited. Henry's so accustomed to the fame that he seems unfazed. Brooklyn Limestone is one of my...

Arizona vacation with a baby

Authors: Kim @ NewlyWoodwards

We're regrouping from a wonderful week away spending time with my parents in Arizona. (You can read about past winter trips to Arizona here, here, here and here.)

A few pictures from the trip, because I know you are positively DYING to see vacation photos from an online stranger. (You're welcome.)






We like to...
