hey guys.. here we are in November.. as the year winds down I have been obsessed with winter cleaning.. I have taken it upon myself to wash the walls.. my mother's friend had this brilliant idea to use a Swiffer to wash the walls and I am loving it.. every weekend I pick a room and Swiffer away.. and when I see those little smudging toddler finger prints vanish it fills me with joy.. 

This is something I do all year around but with holiday shopping around the corner I have been doing it more often.. going through the house and finding things we have no need for and selling them on ebay. Also gives me great joy.. 

We have a little getaway planned around Christmas time.. and an even more exciting trip is being planned for spring break.. yay! 


Speaking of jobs.. I am venturing into family portraits.. I had my first shoot yesterday, it is a change working with people after years of taking photographs of inanimate objects.. but I am looking forward to trying out new things.

I love the idea of selling on eBay !! We have so many things that I'd love to get rid of and might have to think about selling on that site. Have fun on your trips :) Happy Monday !

Wash the walls- I should probably do that too!! I love selling things on ebay - it's such a great way to get a little extra money and declutter! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

So cool how you're expanding your business:) And I used to sell on Ebay years ago but have gotten lazy. Should really get back into that!

I have spot cleaned our walls, but I've never washed them. I love the idea of using a swiffer, which I have at home already! I am going to try this!

That's such a good idea to use your Swiffer to clean your walls. I use mine to clean the outside of the windows that I can't reach by hand.

I think using a swiffer makes cleaning more fun, but it will never be my hobby :-)
I am curious to see some of your portraits, I think photographing people is the hardest thing.

Break a leg with this new endeavor! Do you wash your walls with a wet Swiffer then?

Enjoy your new gig. I am not good enough or bold enough to do that. Nor do I have space and equipment enough.

Aha I never wash my walls. Maybe once I move into a real house (currently, I'm in an apartment) then I will start swiffering them! You must feel so refreshed and clean!!

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in t...

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making ...
