Welcome. I'm happy to have you.

Aaahhh welcome to my home. The first thing you might notice is how white all the walls are. I promise you I am not in love with them either, I am making color decisions....I'm a really poor decision maker. Anyways this is what you'll see when you come to the front door.

Half way up the stairs I turned around and took this shot. That's what you'll see when you look to the right.

Yup. A giant basket to put your shoes in. Why, you might ask would I have a giant basket to put your shoes in? My sister told me about the basket and the idea when I moved into my first house, and I was really protective of my nice new light colored carpet. Now, its because I have an infant who loves to crawl over the carpet, and he puts his hands in his mouth no less than 4,826 times a day. I counted.

I do try to say this in the nicest way possible, I even tried to cute-sy it up. However if you don't OBEY the sign I will remember who you are, and chances are I will visit your house one day, and I'll do something to get you back.....Like say, put your toothbrush in your toilet, so I feel better about my baby putting your shoe germs in his mouth. Plus, I'm somewhat close to having another infant and if I have two infants on my carpet your shoes could very well put me in the loony bin.

Okay, maybe I'm not that passive aggressive, but you'll really bother me. I promise.


Moving on... Sorry I have a tendency to go off on tangents.

Here is a look down the hallway. Trust me it really isn't that long.

This is the main bathroom. Only it's not my main bathroom, because you see mine is in my bedroom and it has a straightener in the sink, a blow dryer on the floor, hairspray on the counter tops, and probably my bath towels flung over the shower bar, and quite frankly that's just not space I'm ready to share with the public...Unless your going to pee your pants.

This is another view, the only difference is you can see the shower curtain.

And, now we take a turn into my baby's room. It's not very decorated, because I'm going to have another baby and they are going to share rooms, I procrastinated way to long to decorate and make paint decisions, and now I'm pregnant again so I get to wait even longer....That's good for me.


This is the view from in front of his closet. Not much different.


Yet, another view only now we are on the way out.... Oh, by the way reading is really important to us.


Now we are in my bedroom.I need ideas for what to put up above my bed, It's so bare and it taunts me every day I go in there, and the bare space shouts to me "Please cover me up!!" If you've got any great ideas please let me know. That dog bed has quite a funny story with it. when I'm out of things to blog about, I'll share that story. It's been bare since the first of November. I'm sure it misses Tally as much as she misses it. Who wouldn't miss a real feather bed, and no I'm not kidding.


This is the view from the door. This is my husbands side of the bed, look at how neat he keeps his night stand. He bugs me. Let me tell you about my love for my duvet. First you buy your feather or down comforter inside thingy I'll try to remember what it's really called, next you zip on down to Ikea and get yourselves a cover or two. We have three. Next you get rid of all your top sheets and blankets. Then, you sleep under said duvet, and you stay warmer and cozier than you ever have before. Every morning you wake up and you feel like a queen. And when its time to wash your sheets you just slip off the cover like a pillow case and wash it with your regular sheets. It saves an laundry and comfort. If you ever learn anything from me please learn this.

We converted three years ago, and I'm never going back!

Drum roll please....

Last but not least our closets. Everyone take a guess who the A-Type person in the family would be.

His closet.


Her closet.

Go ahead guess....


Please don't ask me why I'm weird about having shoes on my carpet, even though I have two indoor dogs. I'm allowed to be OCD somewhere in my life, because I don't eat the food on my plate one serving at a time, and I just pop all the m&m's into my mouth without color coding them or putting them in rainbow order.

I'll get to more when I have more time. I do have a kitchen, family room and a basement.
