We have a huge tree in our front yard. I mean, huge. We had it trimmed this year; they spent 3+ hours in our tree and we still have a ton of tree left. I love it, though. It provides shade, which keeps the house cooler. And it just looks cool.
Last year I spent a lot of time raking up acorns so that we wouldn't have a bunch of baby ...

I'd like to say I'm overreacting. But since all of you know that I don't ever do that, you understand the craziness that is picking out a paint color for our master bedroom. I showed you our master bathroom. I'm still working on the decorations in there, but I love the paint colors. I have some green accents. My vision for the two rooms was/is navy, gray, and coral. I'm ...

Now, just so you know, I left my kids with my parents and we planned for the trip, but when I boarded that plane I questioned what kind of a mother leaves her kids for 3 nights and 4 days! Don't laugh at me. Last year I went away for two nights, but my man was home with the kids. Other than that, we have only left them for one ...

Things on the home decorating front move slowly around here. I have big plans; my budget however isn't quite as big. So we update a little bit at a time and keep our eyes out for good deals.
Last weekend we drove to IKEA, planning to look at beds for Buddy. He's still not climbing out of the crib, so I see no reason to rush, but we thought we'd look ...

So every time I've opened my blog I've tried to write a post, but nothing has come to me. My man and I have been busy but we weren't sharing all of our activities. But we've decided that we should share our journey. Now, before I get too far and you are all sitting there trying to figure out what I'm talking about, I'll just share it with you.
We want ...

Happy anniversary to my man!
Eight years ago we were sweating through a heat wave, dealing with horrible traffic due to an accident, and enjoying all the family that came to celebrate with us!
The last eight years have not turned out like I thought they would, but they've been wonderful, all the same.
Taken eight years ago. We were giggling about something.
Taken last week at the Yankees/Rangers game. My man took me ...

We've been in our house for 13 months. My man painted Baby Girl's room before the kids and I moved here. Other than that, we've not done much other than buy furniture. Our bedroom wasn't terrible, but it's not what I wanted. The master bath had a tan/brown sponge-treatment thing happening. Again, not terrible, but so not what I wanted.
I pinned a few thousand options for paint color, but I ...

I made a yummy granola bar this weekend. I found it on Cooking Up North's blog. The kids aren't positive they love it, but my man and I sure do!
1 cup honey (basically an entire bear jar...you know what I'm talking about?)
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups oats
Mix together. Pat into a 8x8 pan. If you need chocolate in everything you eat like I do, add some chocolate chips to the ...

I know you're not going to believe me, but I wrote an entire post on my birthday (beginning of June). All I had to do was upload a few photos. When I went to do that, it told me that I didn't have enough space. I talked to my computer guru (AKA my husband) and he fixed it for me. But by the time I got it taken care of, ...

A day in my life: Watch out! These days of my life are full of excitement, daring adventures, and lots of drama!
4 am Buddy cries. He's been off since we have been sick for the last week. He goes back to sleep. I cannot. Why!? Why can't I go back to sleep like a normal person?
5 am I start to drift off and Buddy wakes up again. Blah. We've got ...
