We had a lot of work ahead of us this weekend. Thankfully we are IKEA building pros so the stack of boxes laying in Mackenzie's future room wasn't all that daunting...but actually figuring out how we planned to arrange all the new closets with our current furniture...
A little natural fall decor
Some days I would love to be more like Martha Stewart. She has this knack to make things look so great without really seeming to try. Of course she also apparently has no business ethics or regard for the law but that's a whole other story... As the days are getting...
Got some aches & pains but only 2 months to go
We had another doctor's appointment last Tuesday. I would share the latest photo, but it's not really that great and you can't see much of anything. It's the same angle as the last one but a lot fuzzier. Apparently Mackenzie didn't want to hold still long enough for...
Goodbye dear old friend
It's sperrmüll time again here and that means there are piles of junk on every street corner in our town, along with tons of white panel vans with Polish license plates cruising around. The vans started appearing on Saturday morning already, waiting with anticipation...
That’s not shopping at all
After the visit to the doctor today, we ventured over to IKEA (yes, twice in one week which is scary to us too) and thought we were going to pick up the DVD shelves and chest of drawers from IKEA. We noticed that everything was about to go up in price with the new...
So hard to say “I’m sorry”
We took a trip to IKEA today. It wasn't so bad. The store was fairly empty and we got some really good ideas for the house. We have quite a few rooms that will be getting a makeover, mostly because we have to make some space for Mackenzie. Her room (currently our...
Some of the baby gear we still have to get…
I haven't written much about the nursery or what we're planning to do in there...so I figured I would post a few links to the furniture, bedding and so on that we've picked out from IKEA. Yes, IKEA. Not too original on our behalf but the value for money still can't be...
Recycling old candles
We weren't really feeling like doing anything too physical today so we decided to try something else new - recycling a big basket of bits and pieces of candles that was left in the house when we moved in. We've thought about doing this for a while, but never really...
Back to the farm
We've been on vacation for the last week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. No vacation can be completely without mishaps and ours certainly wasn't. Before we left last Thursday, we found out that a storm was hitting the coast of Holland where we were traveling. Since...
Adventures in stained concrete
After reading my post about us planning to put down wood tiles in the chicken coop, my mom recommended we think about doing an acid stain on the concrete instead. Just the name alone sounds intimidating but it would likely turn out to be a must more economical option...
