Contigo Water Bottles

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 In : Stuff I Like 

After seeing a review of Contigo water bottles on Tammy's Recipes last year, I was really interested in getting some for our family.  My sister also purchased some last year for her family, and was very impressed with the quality and contruction as well.  She always had her water bottle with her.  However, the $12-$15 a piece price tag put them in the 'save for' category.   Just after Christmas, I noticed that the style that Tammy reviewed is currently on clearance at Target for $10 or less, ...

Baby Bunny Nest

I discovered these photos the other day and thought you guys might enjoy this.  A couple of years ago, my brother called us, and said "Come over...I want to show you what I found while doing yard work!"

He's just up the road in another neighborhood, so we all piled into the van and headed down to his house.  You can see a lattice fence in the picture above...that sits just about 10 feet from his back door, and they have some wild roses climbing over it.  He had been out working in the yard, an...

If y'all read this post, then you'll know that I've been reading and working through the book "It's Just My Nature" by Carol Tuttle.  One of the things about this profiling system is that she also incorporates a book and online training program called 'Dressing Your Truth," where you learn to dress according to your true nature.

So I've been playing around with my wardrobe and jewelry to reflect what I really and truly love, and just letting go of the 'nice' things that just aren't so nice on ...

Painted Chair Cushions

This is my dining room.  It's my favorite room in the house, because of the beautiful light and view that we get through the french doors.  I also LOVE the dining room set that Kyle's Grandmother willed to us.  It's *exactly* what I would have chosen if I could have had my pick of anything in the world.  I love it.

What I do not love about this room:
carpet. 
Who carpets a dining room!?! 
This seriously drives me bonkers.  And we've recently dealt with it...you'll get a sneak peek in this post....

Wiggley Sleeper Bedside Bumpers

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Thursday, January 27, 2011 In : Kid Solutions 

A wiggleworm sleeps next door to my bedroom.  Her bed shares a wall to our bedroom, and she is prone to kick the wall in the middle of the night.  Multiple times.  So in an effort to protect her little legs (and preserve my sleep), I decided that the wall needed to become padded.  At the earliest convenience.

I dug out the bumper pads that went around the crib, and folded it in half lengthwise.  Then I tied all the ties, and tucked it in along the side of the bed.
Now she can kick to her heart...
