Really unusual use of pattern. I think it's such a nice change from pale, understated nurseries. Jacob is going to be one cool kid.

Very sweet. I could live in this room myself.

Their organic brown rice that is frozen. 3 minutes in the microwave to delicious and healthy rice. The pumpkin bread around Christmas time is supposed to be a classic. One man was so disappointed that I got the last box in the store that I had to give it to him since I'd already made a few batches.

Holy cow, leave the poor mom alone! She's done a gorgeous job with little Lila Sage's room and if she starts grabbing at the mirror I'm sure her mom will move it. Comments like this really bother me and are plentiful on AT - we're all just trying to do our best as parents and people so a little more support, please!

Off to flea market in Rhode Island. I've been able to get so much done in my kids' rooms and my kitchen. My pantry organization has totally changed all of our lives...kids know which bin has their snacks and where to put things back. We know what is running low on grocery day. My kids love their room even though it's not done. The diy projects the Cure has inspired me to make me feel really accomplished. I've also some how freed up extra energy to open an Etsy store. This Cure has had effects on me I never anticipated. (But boy, I'm tired!)

Oh boy, projects never seem to be done. Every time I accomplish something Junior demolishes something else. I'm tired! Nevertheless, I love the direction I'm taking and figure just moving at a slow plod will put me way ahead of where I was 8 weeks ago when all is said and done. A mop rack hung here, a hook placed there. I LOVE my under sink storage and the bins in my pantry have helped soooo much: We know what we have, where it is and what to grocery shop for.

kcmo - nice work. your new bedroom looks really warm now.

stinkycretingurl - the hack is brill. wish i'd thought of it myself! how many times have i passed that thing in ikea and not thought outside the shoebox?

chottomotto, you've been so hard at work. i can't even begin to think of my files yet so kudos to you.

joymich, totally craving guac now! this weekend i'll try your recipe.

sarah, you're paint chip idea is what i've been needing and haven't thought of. going to do this tonight in preparation for todd farm flea market tomorrow.

sara, your cat is so sweet and coordinates so perfectly with the tulips, heh heh. one of my tasks is to find cute kitty bowls for my cat, scarlett. you know, one's without paw prints on them.

And if the herbs don't work...get a cat and add some kitty litter!

Milan, what a beautiful transformation. Congrats.

Smcasey, can't wait to see the red floors and revamped kitchen. Your little kitchen is very big on potential!

Brad, amazing pad. Love the cuckoos. I'm not a fan of the deer head trend but i must admit that it looks spectacular in your place.

Linnea, I think your bedroom really showcases the idea of order and calmness being healing. I can imagine going into your serene room, having a cup of tea and reading some magazines. Great job.

trulijules, well done. Don't you feel good? While I was meeting the girls at Ikea, my husband replaced a screw (yes, a single screw) to fix our kitchen cabinet door. He was soooo proud of himself (he's not so handy) and I think he might be getting into this cure. How did we let a door stay broken for a year when all it needed was a single screw?! (ok, that sentence doesn't sound so good, hope MGR doesn't kick me off, heh heh.)
