a collection of thoughts, creations, ramblings, and the home renovation story of the tiny white house.

today was such a full day in the best way. I caught up on housework while the boys were at MDO, had lunch with a sweet little friend, picked my boys up, and then we got to pick up the three children I nannied for six years from school. being responsible for five kids at one time is not for the faint of heart, but being with them is like having all the pieces of my heart together. and tonight, my family enjoyed our first crockpot meal ever. I know... a little late to the game on this. I've had two crockpots for five years now and am just getting around to using them. I can't decide what's better—how little effort it requires or how delicious the meal was! now I'm laying in bed on fresh, clean sheets, winding down before we do this all over again tomorrow. #thetinywhitehouse
if you caught my stories over the weekend, you know we started on our laundry room remodel. I tend to wait until a project is complete to share it on the blog. but this time, I thought it'd be fun to share this one as we go, updating you along the way! because honestly, when it comes to home improvement projects, things can move a little slow at the tiny white house. that's not necessarily the speed at which I like to do projects, but that's just life right now. and slow progress is better than no progress, right? to see what we're working with + our plans for the space, click the link in my bio. #thetinywhitehouse
I know this is trivial and such a first world problem, but having a no spend month is proving to be quite the challenge. and it's only been one week! full disclosure: the boys are at their grandparents, so we decided to cheat and order out tonight. but since we haven't spent a dime [besides bills] all week, dropping $12.18 on a pizza didn't seem so bad. tomorrow, we start on our laundry room renovation! that may seem strange since we're on a spending freeze for the next three weeks, but you know what? ripping cabinets off the wall is free. I'm so excited, I'll hardly sleep tonight! pretty sure my handyman [aka husband] does not feel the same way. #thetinywhitehouse
much has changed in our nursery over the years, but this vignette remains. I still love it as much as I did when we created it almost three years ago. I know as the boys grow, their room will change too. so for now, I'm enjoying it just the way it is. more details about this + the nursery are on the blog now. link in profile. #thetinywhitehouse
