The last time we shopped for home furniture, we were getting the twins their very own bedroom sets, it was that milestone from toddler bed to big-girl bed. My husband is a 'Find it and buy it. Done' kind of person and likes the process to be quick and simple. I, on the other hand, love furniture shopping and like to spend a lot of time exploring my options ... and perhaps get a little distracted in other areas of the ... read more

New Deck Reveal!
Guess where I'm sitting this very minute? It's been a long 3 weeks since deck demolition and the start of our backyard renovation. Actually, it's been almost torturous thanks to contractor 'issues'. I found it tough to have 3 kids, and no backyard to play in when they are entirely used to spending so much time out there. We've had to get creative each day: lemonade stands out front, bike riding ... read more
Backyard Renovation: Deck is Demolished!
Months ago we started the process of a backyard renovation in the form of a new deck, a long overdue task which we had discussed for years. First we had to decide exactly what we wanted, interview contractors, choose the one to do it, and then wait for mother nature to agree with us. That last part was the worst of all, as luck would have it, rain came down for weeks {I'm sure you've heard all about the ... read more
Home Office: Operation Awesome Desk, Success!
For the longest time, our office was basically in the storage/spare room, in the basement of our house. In that room sat our first computer desk, plain with a wood top and metal legs that had sharp edges. I recall cursing at this desk more than loving it, since I continually would cut myself on the metal. How we put up with that thing as long as we did, I'll never know. Yet within the last year I re-arranged ... read more

One of the many reasons why it made such a lasting impression and has left us wanting to visit again soon, is because there isn't one detail that is overlooked. Right down to the pristine decor. The adult bedrooms were grande and elegant, yet the biggest 'wow' ... read more
Delta Faucet Touch2O Technology
Before the introduction to the Delta Faucet Touch2O Faucet, I wuld have never put too much thought into different faucets. I guess I used to think they were all created equal - you know, water comes out. It was after reviewing the touch kitchen faucet, that I realized this was not the case. Ease, convenient, stylish and just one attention-grabbing home addition! When I was asked to review the Delta Addison Single ... read more

Drool Worthy: Ultimate Bunk Bed Ideas
Purchasing bunk beds has been a topic of conversation among hubby and I, since we have twin toddlers that share a smallish room. It really is the best way to maximize space when you have more than one child sharing a room. Yet when browsing local stores for bunk beds, I didn't really like any of them. They were all too boring, too 'campish', especially for my little Twincesses. I found the ultimate ... read more

Long gone are the cribs and the little toddler beds are becoming fast outgrown.
