Hi there! It looks like this if your first time visiting. I would LURVE for you to sign up for my newsletter to get exclusive discounts and updates. And while you’re at it, why not follow me on Bloglovin’? My little baby Ainsley is going to be TWO years old tomorrow, and I can’t believe […]
We have been SO busy lately! Etsy orders, putting up board and batten in our dining room (more on that next week!), getting ready for Ainsley’s birthday party, etc etc etc. Here are a few quick photos of our family room…. surprisingly, I don’t know if I have ever shown pictures of our whole family […]
This is the Mouse House Family second annual trip to Philadelphia’s Please Touch Museum. Strangely, I never put pictures up from last year! The kids had a blast and we got there early enough to avoid the crazy crowds (and the crazy, weird earthquake that hit Philadelphia shortly after we left. Strange, but true). One […]
For years, I have been wanting one of those awesomely expensive moss covered letters that they sell at Pottery Barn and Ballard Designs. Ballard Designs even sells one around the Christmas season that is made out of Spruce…. I might try that this year as well! At $79 and up, I would never ever […]
There is definitely nothing “wrong” with our kitchen, but it needs some jazzing up, some life put into it, a touch of something. Problem is I don’t know what to do with it. We have all new appliances (yes, I chose black over stainless steel), recently hung new Oil Rubbed Bronze light fixtures, I spray […]
UPDATE! Here is the link to Ainsley’s room! https://www.welcometothemousehouse.comshabby-chic-bedroom-reveal/ Ainsley will be 2 in about a month (how did that happen?!) and she is still in her crib, but I really wanted to start working on her soon-to-be “big girl room”. We probably won’t move her into the regular bed for quite some time, […]
So, I am definitely super happy with my latest feature! Cupcake MAG has featured little ol’ me on their super cool blog. Check out the link I gave above to see my interview and all the things they had to say about me! They even had the editor’s daughter dressed in one of my Mouse House […]
Anyone want to guess what my latest project has been?
I made another apron knot dress for Ainsley today and this is “supposed” to be for her upcoming 2nd birthday party in September, but I have a feeling it will get stained and destroyed before then! This time, I used Michael Miller’s Flower Fairy Princess Fabric and added a vintage table linen that I had […]
So, this dress was meant to be for someone else, but I have decided to keep it for my OWN child for once! She saw it and immediately said “Dress for AC”? (A.C. is her nickname:) I couldn’t help but say “yes”. I will get pictures of it on her this week. Don’t worry, I […]
Here is the original corner cupboard I bought off Craigslist for $75: Nothing terribly wrong with it, but it absolutely needed a good paint job, some updated hardware and a little TLC. That is where I came in 🙂 I LOVE to redo furniture. It is an illness of mine. I can never leave […]
You can find our old trips to Dutch Wonderland here here and here . Well, this year was our FOURTH year of going and it was by far the best trip yet! Both kids had the best time, didn’t complain, went on so many new rides, and there were no tears. It was such a beautiful day today: […]
Today was one of those lazy summer days where nothing much gets accomplished, but lots of memories are made. Swimming, arts and crafts, and cookie making made up our lazy Sunday. Making cooking with children is quite an art form and messes are pretty much guaranteed, but that is what creates the fun memories. Here […]
That’s right! We have finally moved upstairs with our crazy ideas! No, we are not finished remodeling the first floor yet, but who cares. I get bored easily and I always, always need a new project, so why not start on the perfectly good second floor!?! This has been mentioned before, but it needs mentioning […]
