Kitchen Lighting

I REALLY want to update the lighting in our kitchen. Right now, we have these horrid overhead lights. I really don’t like them. We have the same kind of lighting in Lucy’s room, too. They really don’t seem to give off much light. I’m thinking about getting some kind of pendant lighting for the kitchen, at least for over our table. I’m not really sure yet what to get to replace the other light in our kitchen. Any thoughts? What kind of kitchen lighting do you have? Do you like yours or do you have something you’d like to...

Project Roof

January 31, 2010 in The Home

We finally have a brand new roof and an intact ceiling. You may recall, our ceiling collapsed on us two weeks ago due to water damage from improper work done by the former owner of our house. The contractors were here all last week....

Crumbling Ceiling

January 26, 2010 in Grrr, Life, The Home

Our ceiling collapsed last Monday night. I was sitting on the couch getting ready to turn on “24” when I heard a crack. I saw the crack from the water damage we’ve had spread farther across and then the ceiling just collapsed. It barely...

Goals for 2010

January 4, 2010 in Life, The Home

Now that it’s a few days into the new year, I’ve had time to think about what I want to accomplish this year. I don’t like using the word “resolution” because I’ve never kept all of my resolutions. So, this year, I’m creating a...

Bedding Choices

June 18, 2009 in Lucy, The Home

I have a dilemma. I have found another bedding set that I love, and now I’m torn as to which one to get for Lucy’s nursery. I do plan on purchasing a set because, although I do not plan on using the bumper (I’m...

Productivity

February 26, 2009 in Life, The Home

Boy, have I had a productive night. After work, I headed to the grocery store where, to my surprise, just about everything I needed to get was on sale! I have never had that happen before. In fact, the items I buy are usually...

Home Improvements

in The Home

Since we have plans in the (hopefully near) future to renovate our house, I’ve started looking online at different things we might need for it. We don’t plan to do a lot of it ourselves because the two jobs we have planned are pretty...

Decorating on the Brain

January 11, 2009 in The Home

I’ve totally gotten the redecorating bug. Even though we have other priorities right now and this is on the back burner, I still love looking at ideas for things I could do with our house. Once we get pregnant and have the baby, our...

Luck

December 19, 2008 in Grrr, Life, The Home

I don’t have the best luck. You know the saying, “When it rains, it pours”? That pretty much describes my luck. We are about to spend thousands of dollars in three months to have a baby. That means we’re doing as much saving and...
