Oct 1, 2014 | Our Day to Day Life, Rebuilding the Castle
I wouldn’t necessarily have considered myself a spoiled person. I don’t get everything I want. My husband and I seek out the best deals we can and save up for the things we want… sometimes we even save for things we need. Sure I make spur of the...

Our son is now three years old. He is in that stage where he is outgrowing his baby stuff but still too young to really settle on a definite style in his room. It’s the age when you find yourself looking for creative ways to add color and fun to their room, but...

I decided to go ahead and decorate our Yule tree today. It feels strange to be doing it before Thanksgiving, but I was in the mood to do some decorating. I went with the black and silver on white again this year. I really like the way this combination looks. I would...
Oct 25, 2013 | Our Day to Day Life, Rebuilding the Castle, Through the Looking Glass
This post is long overdue… not because I took it a long time ago and forgot to post, but because it is something we have needed for about six years and we finally got it. New furniture! A local company that has been around for many, many years is going out of...

I followed through with my Labor Day plans and dealt with (most) of our bathroom. There’s not a lot of extra money, because we are saving up to replace our carpeting… so I mixed together the leftovers of the two shades of minty green used in our office/...

Any big plans for Labor Day Weekend? My plans for Labor Day Weekend are pretty boring… not much different from a typical weekend. We plan to run to a few local stores to take advantage of some very good deals on groceries and other things we need. I also plan to...

Prior to the Olympics I was offered a chance to participate in a study on my Olympics viewing habits. The company offering it was Opinion Square. Reviews and opinions on the company are very mixed… some very negative. They promised some very large rewards for...

Well, the big news of my weekend is that we finally got a new refrigerator. It was desperately needed. I’m pretty sure the one we inherited from the previous owners was about ready to start waving a white flag and begging for mercy. I never thought I would be so...

I realized I have not updated in far too long. We have been very busy prepping for Xander’s arrival and attending the usual Summer parties and reunions. Pregnancy has been fairly uneventful… thankfully. My favorite news is not baby related. It’s a...
