Zoom. Zoom.

The first weekend of December (before Greta got sick and massive amounts of snow fell), we stepped away from the painting and Christmas-decking and went car shopping. Like, alllll weekend.  Normally, I would say such an event doesn't exactly fit into the DIY/Home Design thing we got going on here, but some time ago, even […]

Plan A Gifting Scavenger Hunt

As you probably know by now, thanks to Tuesday's blog post and all of the birthday festivities captured on our Intstagram, this week I turned 27.  A few of you have asked what Chris got me for my birthday, but before we get into that--let me show you how he gave me my gifts.  Because […]

A New Schedule Per Your Request

Hey all!  We have a Greta big-girl room break down ready for you today, BUT after reviewing all of the responses to our recent poll (that you maxed out in a few short hours--you superstars you) we realized that there was an overwhelming number of our readers that requested we post earlier in the day.

Hello, 27.

Today is my birthday. Chris hid presents all over the house and is sending me picture texts from work giving hints as to where I can find them.  So far I have hunted down three pairs of earrings and a dozen tubes of paint.  So, in addition to breakfast with friends, this morning has been […]

I'm baa-aack. And before we get into the main chunk of the post, Happy Cyber Monday!  May the online shopping odds be ever in your favor.  Today and tomorrow (the 26th and 27th), take 35% off anything in our Etsy shop with promo code CYBERMONDAY.  That includes original paintings and prints.  Woot!

Holiday Happs and a Cheese and Crackers "World Record"

Yesterday, we made the trip north to be with our families for Thanksgiving and we are already diving into food and full-on relaxing.  We have so much to be thankful for and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else today.  Here's hoping you are with someone you love today, counting our blessings just like we […]

I guess you can only say, "This is the last box of diapers we're buying" so many times before you find yourself with no diapers and no excuses to postpone the inevitable any longer.  It has been a trying couple of days, but potty training our girl, we are.  And to save Greta from any […]

Magnetic Knife Strips--You Want 'em Strong.

Back in September, we shared a photo of our new magnetic knife strip that we picked up at Ikea, and today I am back to tell you--it may not be the best choice.  The left side of ours has lost most of its magnetism, so we're left with just using the far right and crossing […]

Well, this week isn't going exactly as I planned. I had hopes of adding a lot more paintings to our shop and sneaking in a few more blog posts while we celebrate our anniversary this week, but I have been down for the count.  My body is not reacting the best to my new medication […]

Buzzes and Crashes. Happy Weekend!

What a 24 hours it has been!  Yesterday, after a month of multiple blood tests, and hitting our 2-year mark for infertility, I met with my doctor to go over all of my labs.  The problem jumped off the paper and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.  It explains more than just our inability to give […]

Halloween Haystacks and Egging.

Really, these haystacks have nothing to do with Halloween.  Except that I requested them for dinner last night--which we called "Devil's Night" growing up.  Chris is the cook around here and night after night he whips up the most amazing meals.  Last night, I had a hankering for something simple and comforting--Hawaiian haystacks.  And he […]

Who Are You?!

This year, as our teeny blog grew to small blog status (parrttayyy!!!)--we've had to make some decisions about sponsors and giveaways and realized we're not on board with everything we thought we were when we started this blog.  So, like everything else, we'll continue adjusting/tweaking and ironing things out over time--that's just how we do.

Some Pumpkin Carving Comic Relief

It is pumpkin carving season (!!!) and over the last few weeks--but even more so in the past week--I have been seeing all of these beautifully carved, gilded, painted, shaved pumpkins on my favorite blogs or plastered on Pinterest.  Spoiler alert--my pumpkin is no such beauty. Last weekend, we had some friends over for dinner […]

Well, we tried to have a reveal for you today.  Kind of.  I spent the whole day yesterday sanding and painting our old vanity to bring it up to par with the rest of the room, but around 3 pm, the paint started acting weird and peeling and it wasn't looking the greatest.  Chris suggested […]

Truth Tuesday: How NOT to throw a Party.

Last year we threw a costume party.  Our first.  While it was seriously a blast, there's a reason we don't run a party-planning blog.  We have been laughing (so we don't cry?) at our mistakes for over a year. Our guests (we had between 30-40 people there) were all so gracious and fun and dressed […]
