Kenton’s birthday is on Thursday and his party is on Saturday. So, it’s BIRTHDAY week on the blog! Hope you like cute blonde baby boys and [...]

My dear friend, Abby, is having a little mini-Dreamer of her own. So, of course, she needs to be showered with baby gifts. So, a few of us got together and did a little soiree a few weeks ago. We had a loose “cookies and milk” theme. Here are some highlights: Carrie – the hostess [...]
Dream Storage: Diapers

Okay, I’ll admit it. This post is born out of guilt. First, I confess – I’m amazing. It’s true. Okay, that’s a lie. It’s my mom that’s amazing, but I’m her off-spring, so maybe I get a bit of the awesomeness in my DNA? Anyway, while perusing Ikea during the nursery-shopping-frenzy pre-Kenton, my mom spotted [...]
Master Dreamroom: Update
Posted in After, Details, Master Bedroom on February 27, 2012 | 4 Comments »
Last week, I reminded you how awful our master bedroom used to be. I’m very happy to report it looks much better now. Right?! We finished this room a while ago, but never showed off any pictures. Probably because it’s never as clean as you see it above. Except for the day the cleaner’s come… [...]

Recently, this magazine arrived at the Dream: INSPIRATION! How fun is that wreath?! I set out to do my own version and even took before pictures of my pile of items needed for the post I was planning about my citrus-with-a-Christmas-twist wreath: It was a complete failure. I’m certain if I allowed myself more time, [...]

So, it was my goal to get “after” photos of the nursery posted before the end of my maternity leave and I’m making that deadline with mere hours to spare. I’ve been working part-time for about a month, but head back full-time this week. So, here are some shots of the nursery in all of [...]

I love weddings and I love entertaining – so when my co-worker, Kallie, got engaged, I knew I wanted to host her shower. I work with some wonderful people – who love to throw a party every time something good happens to people. (They threw me the biggest SURPRISE baby shower – it was ahhhh-mazing [...]

Here’s a closer look at the silver touches in our white & silver with a splash of yellow nursery… First up, diaper storage. We wanted a creative way to store this nursery necessity – without drawing a lot of attention to them. We found the perfect solution at Ikea: The Allamalla (don’t you LOVE those [...]
