{home & garden} tomkat studio ~ valentine collection

I have an obsession with The TomKat Studio. I'll admit it, but it really shouldn't come as a surprise, as whatever I deem to be a favorite, I truly am a loyal follower. The TomKat Studio. first wowed me with their help on the Three Ring Circus Birthday Party last year. And of course I'm addicted to their free printable calendar. (And just read that there is a weekly calendar...

{home & garden} home tour ~ the kids bathroom

Next up on the Home Tour, the Kids Bathroom. Isn't it pretty? It's about as pretty as the rest of the house was before we got started on our super fast overhaul. So far we've toured the Kitchen and Piper's Room, and of course there was the post on the entire "Before" House. I gave you my cheater post on the Kids Bath, but that was mostly about the towels...

{home & garden} name your design {& giveaway!!}

Name Your Design, is a FAVORITE for sure!! Do you know them? You've heard me talk about them before, and I'm asked ALL.THE.TIME. where I got the adorable canvas name prints in the Little Punks Playroom. In my personal opinion they just "make" any room I move them to. I've had them in the nursery, the kids bath, and now the playroom....and I fall in love with them again each...

{home & garden} home tour ~ piper’s new room

Got to say, I'm feeling kinda good about the Home Tour promise right now. I think I've gotten one out each week, albeit, a couple were half tours, but I'm taking that as a win because I'm getting SOMETHING out about the house! Seriously, most of this work was done 3 years ago. I've had 2 more children since then and my brain is FRIED. But I've shown you the...

{home & garden} our first house

Well, technically not our "first" house... But since it's our 5 year wedding anniversary this week, I thought it might be fun to write this week's Home Tour post on our last house. This house had a front and back house. I rented the back house for almost 8 years I think. When Hubs and I were married, he moved in with me (we joked as we lived in an...

{home & garden} kids bath…sort of

Now before you all throw in the towel at me (Oh wait, HA! That pun was not intended!!)... I KNOW last week with our kitchen I promised you a room each week for the Home Tour, but it just was too crazy a week to try and photograph something during the daylight hours...and as much as I wanted to show you the whole Kids Bathroom, the last blooms had just...

{home & garden} our kitchen ~ before, during, after

I am soooooo tardy in sharing our Home Tour with you all. But I've been poked in the ribs enough times with all the emails asking "WHEN??" that I'm going to get my booty in gear and get this done for us all. My goal to you and to myself is to post once a week on our house. You would think this would be easy, but it involves digging...

{home & garden} yet another gold star! Giveaway!

So we return from being away for a month.....and the kids seem stuck on the fact that we should be on an airplane. Like it's TOTALLY normal to just walk outside and get on a plane everyday. So the other night as the kids said they were playing "airplane" and needed to pack a "few things" in their "vacation boxes", neither Hubs nor I batted an eye.... Wow. We shoulda....

{Home & Garden} Piper’s Paint Color

I get asked for the paint color in Piper's Room and the Play Room all.the.time. But I'm a little disorganized and a little scattered and a lot lazy. The paint lives in the garage, in one of Hubs childproof/mom proof cabinets, in cans that have numbers...and whenever I've needed more paint I've just called our painter and he takes care of getting it for me. See?! Lazy. But Hubs was...
