Since we are almost done fixing the basement – I thought maybe we can remodel the daughter’s room a little bit.  I’ve always loved window seats but because of the heater  – where the windows currently are – we can make any window seat at all.  So we’ve gotta a electrician to move the heater [...]

As I started cleaning and organizing our medicine cabinet – I also saw many medication and pill bottles that needed to be thrown away.  As a mom it is important to keep tab of what is in your medicine cabinet because you need to know what your teenage kids are taking and what they are [...]

Wished I could find some gems like this in our local yard sale ! isn’t this a very pretty dresser?  found by Apartment Therapy in Washington DC.  $200 and painted as well – I think I love the baby blue color a lot.

We had visited a friend’s home during the weekend – and found out that they had just renovated their basement and turned it into a recreation room for both their kids and the spouse.  So the spouse gets his pub style basement like he wanted to entertain his friends and co-worker while watching soccer/football and [...]

Last year – we had a sudden death in the family – the spouse’s nephew passed away and he was only in his teens.  Very sad indeed – and very unexpected as he was so young but nevertheless sad.  We have in-laws who are not getting any younger and they did their  funeral planning way [...]

Putting a bathroom in our basement is what I want to do most – when we get a chance – so I talked to a friend who is a contractor and he told me that it was possible – but  needed to go near the washing machine rooms.  But I want to be a little [...]
