I finally finished our master bathroom refresh and I LOVE it! A few months back I looked at the light that we bought from Home Depot in 2013 and couldn’t look at it another minute. I ordered a new light that day! The next month when I was painting several doors black, I decided to paint the inside of the bathroom door black. I loved the change. Then I decided I couldn’t be surrounded by the same damn baby blue anymore, so I painted the bathroom white.

Read MoreI don’t know how these crafty people do it because I think stenciling is hard and tedious. You have to tape the stencil to the wall, paint, let it dry and then start all over.
Read MoreOver the winter break we were able to take the boys on three different hikes. We went to Cronan Ranch near Coloma, Stevens Trail in Colfax and The Dipsea Trail in Mill Valley. I loved them all, but my favorite was the Dipsea Trail.
Read MoreI decided to freshen up a few pots by our garage door. I walk by them every day and I wanted something happier to greet me!
Read MoreI have been thinking a lot about how we are always saying goodbye. Goodbye to our youth. Goodbye to friends and coworkers as we move to new jobs. Goodbye to loved ones when they die.
