Happy Friday! We had a rough start to the week over here.  Being a parent isn’t easy.  Fortunately, there are ways to remedy tough parenting days. One word:  wine.   Last night, while at the grocery store, I had an amazing idea to buy a bottle of wine and enjoy some vino while painting our…

Master Bedroom Ideas

We’re finally, FINALLY getting around to decorating our master bedroom.  It’s been a blank slate for years.  Yes.  Years. It has a fresh coat of paint (Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams) and it’s ready for the finishing touches. It’s time for some ideas….
