I love the holidays. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en, whatever. I love 'em all. I also adore holiday decorating. When I was a kid, I used to scheme about our Christmas lights for weeks (maybe months?) before the season was upon us, and I'm happy to report that our house won "best neighbourhood lights" at least 3 years in a row. We were like the Griswold's of our 'hood. I can't believe ... View the Post
getting our roofing on
So on Friday you saw how we installed some new shutters on our little house, and I mentioned (among other tasks) that re-shingling our roof was on the to-do list. You can't see super clearly in the photo above how bad the shingles on the front part of our house had gotten. They were all peeling away and some had even flown off last spring with some gusty storms. Our garage, which is ... View the Post

I said to Dan last night that I was trying to come up with a title for this post and couldn't stop thinking "just shut up, shut up" a la Black Eyed Peas, but that it didn't really make sense.

Since it was perfectly functional and not high on the priorities list, we needed something ... View the Post
a nursery makeover: part 2
So remember those before photos from yesterday? Well here is the nursery in all it's after glory. Isn't it cheerful? Instead of the traditional change table, we opted to get a used dresser off of Kijiji and put a changing pad on top of it. This allows for tons of clothes storage underneath, and it can be used as a regular dresser for the kiddo when he is no longer in diapers. We got ... View the Post
a nursery makeover: part 1
I think I have mentioned before that some of our best pals, Shannon and Andy, are expecting a baby (any day now!). Well, instead of the usual baby shower gift, I thought that it would be fun to help them out with their nursery design. Obviously, this is somewhat selfish as this "gift" is super fun for me (hello, a whole room to help decorate!). Here is how the room started out. It originally ... View the Post
