Glidden is giving away a free quart of paint this weekend (until Sunday) if you mail in a paint label of your own. Not bad, right? They have an awesome interface for picking and coordinating colors. I have my paint favorites, but am always willing to try something new. I picked BLACK {snore}, but will use it on a dresser that I’ve had for years… to glam it up a little. Go to Glidden.com to get your free quart, and tell me what you got!

I’m thinking about building an INDOOR awning for the ohbaby room. If only I could find out if this should be a pink awning or a blue awning {you get the idea}. What’s the suspense for? I know the doctors know and are just keeping me in the dark until I have a total mental breakdown. Do you know how hard it is to MENTALLY decorate two baby rooms at once?

We thought it would be fun to swap out the fabric with the seasons. My spray paint is drying and not ready to assemble yet, but here’s Monica’s Fall Magnet Board:

The morning started out a little rocky on Saturday. As I was flipping through my Better Homes cookbook to make some breakfast, a wave of heat/chills/nausea came over me. I had to lay down and choke down an apple to get through it. Later that day, when I was feeling better, my hubby and I went to get lunch. The waitress asked “How far are you,” and I’m thinking she’s wondering if we had made our way through the menu. She said my yoga schedule pamphlet and kids menu were the tipoff {and in her head was probably saying, “and [...]

So, we won’t know if it’s a boy or a girl until our appointment on Nov. 10th. Ug – is that not SO far away? I’ve got curtains to sew! :) Apparently we can find out in 2 weeks if we go to the 3D ultrasound place… but I’m getting mixed reviews from people on this… you know I hate secrets! Regardless of the gender, we’ve got a little grey and yellow room planned. And I mean LITTLE. Our third bedroom is the size of a walk-in closet, just enough room for a crib, changing table and rocking chair. But, [...]
