Good Morning friends! I am planning on doing a few more posts on the old colonial and even adding a few recipes in the next few weeks as we continue to unpack, organize and start to decorate the new home! I am hoping to post some stuff on the new house in about two weeks […]
Our Little Boy’s Bedroom Reveal

When we first considered buying the house we currently live in, Mr.A and I made a list of pros and cons of moving and selling our house that we had just built two years earlier. One of the pros we listed on our sheet was NO large projects needed. HA HA! If you know anything […]
Mudroom Makeover
Three years ago when we remodeled the kitchen, we added a small mudroom area. At the time we had three girls and we figured it was just enough space for all of us. Well, now we have added an adorable little boy to our family and suddenly the mudroom seems, well, smaller. But, we’ve managed […]
