Bedroom Makeover | Beyond Bedding Frankie’s Fire Truck 4pc Twin Bedding Set Review

Beyond Bedding Frankie’s Fire Truck 4pc Twin Bedding Set Review Ethan turned 4 this July and has already lived in two rooms during his short life. His nursery was downstairs and it was only partially decorated as we didn’t really use the room much. When we had the “great room swap” (everyone got a new room except Emma), Ethan took Josh’s old room upstairs. Up until recently he was more than happy with the sports theme Josh left behind, but … [Read more...]

LG Electronics TrueSteam Dishwasher Review

LG Electronics TrueSteam Dishwasher Review Up until very recently I was under the assumption that a dishwasher was a dishwasher. I knew that some looked a bit fancier than the others and some had a few more “bells and whistles”, but they all washed the dishes... the. end. Then...

Magic Cabin Personalized Book Rack Review

Magic Cabin Personalized Book Rack We have slowly been redecorating both Emma and Ethan’s rooms trying to make them more comfortable... kind of like their own little nest. We removed the toy clutter from under Emma’s loft bed and decided to turn it into a reading area for her.

Home Makeover | Amana Tall Tub Dishwasher Review

We have slowly been working on replacing our older white kitchen appliances with newer stainless. We love how crisp stainless looks and that it gives an updated feel. Our current dishwasher was in the home when we bought it 10 years ago. Although it was still functioned it was dated, not energy efficient and well... blah. During my search for a new stainless unit I stumbled on the Amana brand. After searching their site we decided on the Tall … [Read more...]

Home Makeover with Pergo Laminate Flooring If you’ve been following my Pergo floor makeover you will remember our Pergo shopping trip at Lowes and our post about installing Pergo laminate flooring.

Home Makeover | Danze Prince Two Handled Bathroom Faucet Review

Home Makeover with Danze Prince Two Handled Bathroom Faucet Our house was a few years old when we purchased it about ten years ago.

When I was given the chance to review a Prince™  Two Handle Widespread Lavatory Faucet I jumped at it! I was hoping that … [Read more...]

Home Makeover | Comfy Sack “Bean Bag” Chair Review

Home Makeover with Comfy Sack “Bean Bag” Chairs I’m sure most of us have experienced a traditional bean bag chair at some point in our lives. I remember from my childhood nestling into them during silent reading time at school.

I am positive the adults in our lives did not enjoy cleaning up that mess and … [Read more...]
