-Keeping your house in a constant state of cleanliness for showings is hard.
-3 year-olds don’t take well to being de-throned as the “baby” of the family.
-Newborns smell delicious.
-Botched circumcisions bite.
-Hands down, the best gift for a new mom is a hot cooked meal and/or a cleaning lady for a day.
-Breastfeeding does wonders for your waistline.
Now, onto meaningless “stuff” that brings me so much happiness…
Apparently, I have a thing for metal. Because we’re moving I had to hurry and use all my store credit and my favorite boutique, A Fine Line. Lookie what I scored.
I couldn’t pass up these metal numbers.
I’ve already found several uses for them including…
A gift wrap tag.
And numbered seating assignments at the dinner table.
These baskets are my fav’s (and they are seriously heavy). There’s also one size in between that didn’t make it in to the picture.
For now, they’re boxed up ready to move but I’m thinking of making liners for them and using them as toy storage at our next home.
Loving these vintage inspired office baskets.
I snatched up two of these rectangular baskets which I currently use for recycling.
(Thanks Jeanne, I’ll miss working with you!)
Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
A young family, newborn and moving is a total plate full. Take a minute to have a cup of tea and relax. God Bless. Hugs, marty

You are a busy lady, mama! And you still have time to blog, that’s impressive. I’m super into industrial home pieces right now too. It adds a bit of fun!
Breastfeeding is the best exercise! Can’t wait to see your new home and what you come up with…
Botched?! Oh my goodness, what happened?? So sad! Poor little boy! Proud of you and the breastfeeding though
New to blogging only a year into it but as I say having kids changed everyway I think. I have four under the age of 7 with a husband deployed and the thought of moving sends me running for the hills. Hang in there, you seem to do it all so gracefully from what I read.
seems like you are pulling everything together JEALOUS!!! Adjustments to new baby this last time has been so hard…yet you keep your house spotless and you are so happy! so glad for you! you are amazing!
Hope that you have a simple move.
OH MY! Botched? I won’t even ask. I hope you guys have a smooth move.
I have to tell you how much I am loving the last photo of the basket used for recycling. LOVE IT! Now I want one too.
Awesome baskets! I love Natty by Design too. I found her blog over the weekend 🙂
