In our new home, we finally have a casual great room. The space is very beige and white…not that I mind since I’m all about neutral colors. But we’ve slowly been adding to the room to make it more cozy. It’s so much fun to have an informal place to decorate and make kid-friendly. Soon… Continue Reading
Twenty months! Wow, Owen is getting old. Only four more monthly updates of Little O…lucky for you, Richard and I perfectly timed the arrival of our second child so that you won’t have any months without a baby to look at.
