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 [...]

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 [...]

Happy Blogiversary! Can you believe it?! The blog baby is two already! They grow up so fast (she says as a glistening tear rolls down her cheek). And like any good mama, I made cake for the birthday blog: And yes that’s one of Martha’s domed cake stands from Macy’s. I love, love, LOVE it! And not just because it’s from the Martha line (I may have an ever so [...]

And we finally come to the end of the great blogiversary tour of 2011 (minus the porch but we’ll get to that shortly…amazing things are happening out there). I’m a little sad to come to the close of the tour but very excited to get back to work on the house. I’ve spent more time cleaning it up for all these pictures than actually renovating it. First up on today’s [...]

Here’s what composes our living quarters tour: the dining room, the living room, the grand staircase, and the parlor. The parlor is actually an extension of our living room but we just like to call it the parlor and [...]

Prepare to be completely unimpressed as the great blogiversary tour of 2011 continues. Next on our behind the scenes tour…the bedrooms. One is our master bedroom and the other is our guest room…I mean…closet. Yup…we’re currently using our spare room as a closet. But that’s ending ASAP! First, let’s take a little stroll down memory lane…I mean the hallway of the “private quarters”: That’s the guest bedroom/closet near left, master [...]

Next up on the grand blogiversary tour, the bathroom. The bathroom was our numero uno priority when the house was turned over to us. We had one month left at our apartment when closing day rolled around, so what better time to do a complete bathroom remodel. And we can totally get it all done in a month! Right?! Or so we thought. Scratch that…so I thought. Of the two [...]

Happy Blogiversary! Well…technically the blogiversary was on May 16th but I was a little busy gallivanting around Russia so it’s a bit delayed this year. I promise never to forget our blogiversary again (that’s what HE said). So I thought to celebrate this blogiversary and all subsequent blogiversaries to come, why not 1) show a bunch of before pictures, 2) show some progress pictures, and 3) discuss where we’re heading [...]
