Well, it’s official. It’s a girl. Baby Campbell, arriving in t-minus 3-ish months, is a girl. I’m absolutely thrilled about this girl. Granted, I would have been happy either way, boy or girl. But I’m not gonna lie, there was a part of me that was itching to start hoarding bows, tulle skirts, and pink … Read more
A nursery design plan using a gender neutral base adding accessories for either a boy or a girl.
This is definitely one of those blog posts that I’m equal parts excited yet scared to write. It’s kind of like when you were a kid and heading off to your first day of school…except bigger….WAY bigger! And life-changing, holy cow is this life-changing! But it’s time to let the cat out of the bag … Read more
How has it been a month (A MONTH!) since the last time we checked in? For shame. But alas, sometimes life gets in the way. This last month of life has been a roller coaster. From some really exciting things going on (more on that soon…really soon) to some absolutely sucky things (if you follow … Read more
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted so let’s do a little recap of where we left things and what we’ve been up to this summer, shall we?! Before we get into the closet plan. Ever since we finished our guest bathroom renovation, we’ve kind of been laying low in the DIY department. We … Read more
If you know me in person, there’s one thing you know I am not, and that’s “glam.” My wardrobe is constantly in a sorry state of disarray, my favorite “outfit” includes a tee sporting the phrase “country as a biscuit”, and my idea of a good date night outfit typically includes either flip flops or … Read more
It’s about time I checked in. It’s been a while. Like almost three weeks and I’m having withdrawals from you guys and the blog. Like I’m getting the shakes. And it’s not for lack of wanting to blog. It’s just, that when one blogs about their house projects and there’s a lack of projects going … Read more
Last weekend among all our Memorial Day weekend festivities and family get-togethers, I got to thinking about how last Memorial Day weekend was our first weekend with the new (to us) house. It brought back the flood of good emotions from closing day to the first box we moved in, to all the “I can’t … Read more
Before we dive headfirst into today’s post about our bathroom renovation budget, I have some gushing to do. You guys! You guys are all so so soooooo sweet with our guest bathroom reveal last week. I’ve been pouring over the comments and starting to thank you all individually and I’m on cloud nine with all … Read more
After last week’s post about the struggles of DIY (but oh how we love it!), I wasn’t sure that we would ever finish this bathroom renovation let alone finish it in time for reveal day of the One Room Challenge. But after a couple of long nights and a renovation filled weekend, AHOY thar she … Read more
This past weekend I had one major project that I wanted to tackle in the guest bathroom remodel for the One Room Challenge…grouting the shower tile. I knew it was going to be a big project, like a buckle down because this is going to take a decent chunk of your day kind of project. … Read more
When us crazy kids middle aged folks who still act like kids, decided to tackle an entire bathroom remodel (a gut job) in just six weeks for the One Room Challenge, there was one project that was giving me anxiety yet I was uber excited to tackle. The tiling of the shower tub surround with … Read more
In all the guest bathroom, remodeling hullabaloo, I somehow managed to forget about blogging last week. Face…palm. Which is unfortunate because I waited a week too long to show you our bathroom wall planking and ceiling planking progress: I know, right?! I feel like our Photoshop bathroom remodel plan is literally jumping out of the … Read more
A couple of weeks ago, Colby had his annual bass club banquet a few hours south of us, in Manchester, NH. It’s the annual meeting of all the clubs in New Hampshire and Vermont and is a jolly good time for all the club members. Colby invited me to go along. A good wife would … Read more
For the record, I love/hate the One Room Challenge. For those unfamiliar, it’s a challenge where you get six weeks to re-do a room in your house, documenting your journey along the way. I’ve officially decided to participate this go around as a guest participant. It’s my third attempt at the infamous challenge but I’ve … Read more
Before we get into our bathroom renovation planning details, we need to talk. Hello…my name is Angie…and I’m a questioner. For those of you who have read Gretchen Rubin’s books (Happiness Project, Happier At Home, or Better Than Before) or listened to her podcast (Happier), all highly recommended, you know what I’m talking about. For … Read more
