Guest Bathroom

The contractor came and did the laundry room and the bathroom and I am so happy right now. :-) It was not easy with 2 kids and a husband out of town, but is finally done. We had the vanity in the garage for 3 months and when the contractor finally came we find out it wouldn't fit the bathroom because of the drawers on the right, flushed to the door. :-( Then I had to run to the store to find a new one in stock, so all the plans have changed a little: lighting, sink, faucet. Then I had to pack the 120lb box (vanity+sink+countertop+mirror) and returned it.

Laundry Room

I can't believe it's been almost a year since my last Post... But now with PINTEREST, FACEBOOK, and so many other websites... I rarely have time for my Blog... After waiting for the contractor for almost 3 months, my laundry room is almost done! Now I just need to install a few little things and I couldn't be happier to have a sink in there. What do you think?!?!

Sport Brella

I was at the beach this weekend with the baby and saw this family using this cool umbrella. I asked the name and he told me SPORT BRELLA. It's just perfect when you have kids and it will protect them from the sun and wind big time. Here is a picture.
