Voila.

He did it. The shelf is on, the boxes fit (although ideally I’d still like to find linen covered boxes that won’t break the bank) and the thing is sturdy enough for all three of us to sleep in. Our very own Ikea Crib Hack is complete, and I for one am over the moon with the end result (…obviously,… Read more →

Lime Fetish

My husband puts up with a lot from me these days…like, he should probably be eligible for some kind of award.   In generally, I consider myself a pretty go-with-the-flow kind of gal, but as you may have guessed (based on the sunny outlook  I’ve repeatedly exhibited on this blog) I’ve been just a little bit cranky throughout the course of… Read more →

Our crib hacking adventure has begun, and I’m so excited about the prospects of positive results, I can’t wait until we have a finished product to share our progress. It all started one afternoon while I was helping Sara convert her Baby Mod Parklane Crib (which I’ve always been a fan of) into a Toddler bed.    I was rattling off… Read more →

Back when I was a freshman in college, professing my love for my long-distance boyfriend and swearing up and down that I was… Read more →

Saturday night we went to see Scotty’s Uncle Kelly play with his band, Bad Dog, at the St. Francis De Sales carnival.   The SFDS carnival stage has seen some pretty classy acts over the years – about a decade ago my bleach blond, spikey haired, leather jacket wearing boyfriend (y’know, basically a parent’s nightmare) took me to see Billy Idol… Read more →

There’s an Alien in my stomach.

It’s a weird feeling, this pregnancy thing.   My digestive system is under siege…starting from about week five when I started praying to the porcelain god multiple times a day, and although I’m grateful to report that that initial unpleasant side-effect of pregnancy has subsided, it’s given way to much less discussable symptoms that I’d rather not share here.   The infamous… Read more →
