Once upon a time we had a yellow bathroom with cute little labeled towel hooks. Then, one day, the big bad Goose came along. And he huffed and he puffed and he pulled those towels down. Until he ripped out a couple hooks (only one of those hooks is still properly secured). For some reason, Goose has a nasty habit of pulling down our bath towels and proceeding to roll [...]

As if I don’t get enough web stats and analytics during the work day (I’m a marketer by day and blogger by night), we’re gonna nerd out on you on the blog this evening with a little statistical analysis. Wait…don’t go…these are fun stats! So instead of marketing stats like average time on site, click through percentage and average cost per impression, we’re bringing you average beer consumption, total number [...]

Is it sad that I’ve had this post (and subsequent play on a Rihanna hit for the blog post title) planned since October? Or equally sad that these are the things I remember but can never remember to pay the cell phone bill? Anyway…so now that Rihanna is officially stuck in your head too, let’s get down to deck business and more importantly um-ber-ella ella ella eh eh eh business. [...]

Saturday night, Colby I went to Target. And by Saturday “night” I mean 7:00 pm, after which we promptly went home where I fell asleep on the couch by 8:00 pm. I lead an exciting life. On our walk back to the car, loaded down with toilet paper, paper towels and the all important Goose cookies it dawned on me…Saturday was our blogiversary. The blog officially turned three and I [...]

The other day I was cruising the comments and responding to dear readers, when one of my favorite readers (who am I kidding…it’s like picking children…you’re all my favorite readers) asked me a paint color question. And as a self proclaimed paint fanatic (seriously…I am borderline depressed that I have no more rooms to paint in our house…someone medicate me), I felt obligated to share my knowledge of the paint [...]

I mustache you a question…does Colby have something on his face? I was sifting through photos on my mac this evening, trying to play blogger catch up after the craziness of opening an Etsy shop has subsided just a tad, when I realized I missed a complete step in our bathroom remodel, specifically with transforming the buffet into a vanity. Egads! Oh the insanity! We missed the back splash! How [...]

I’ve been kind of MIA lately. On Instagram…and Pinterest…and even on the blog. The reason? I’ve been up to my eyeballs in rustic, wooden iPad stands that we’ve been selling on our brand new Etsy shop, Roostic. I couldn’t be more uber excited about the success we’ve already had with the Etsy shop, which we opened up last Friday and are already seeing results. We’ll get to that in a [...]

So I owe you guys a little tutorial on how we made that rope shelf that we revealed for the Spring Pinterest Challenge. And since I don’t like owing things, here she blows. A full blown tutorial on how we filled that empty wall with a rope/scrap wood/pulley shelf in our bathroom. I would like to say it was easy…but that would be a lie. And if there’s one thing [...]

I know, I know…I promised a tutorial on how we made the rope shelf for the bathroom, but I used the infamous “ish” as in “I’ll post this tomorrow-ish” so that buys me a little more time, right?! It’s just been one of those days where I don’t want to spend time in Photoshop…AND the Etsy shop has been BLOWING UP! In a good way. Production is having a hard [...]

Do you remember the dancing banana/peanut butter jelly time video on YouTube? Here is a refresher. That’s what I get stuck in my head every time a Pinterest Challenge rolls around. Except that it’s more like, “Piiiiin-ter-ist challenge time…piiiiiin-ter-ist challenge time…pin’trst challenge, pin’trst challenge, pin’trst challenge”. You’re welcome…for getting it stuck in your head too. So without further ado, I bring you the spring Pinterest Challenge reveal day…drum roll not [...]
