She has a mattress!

Well, last night I dragged (well, that may be a bit of a stretch) my friend Heather out of the house to have her help me buy a mattress for our daughter's crib. I was feeling shut-in after we got 6.2" of snow on Saturday and just needed to get out. My sister-in-law is bringing over the crib when the family comes in for the weekend. I hope the mattress will fit the crib. If, not, it's off to try again...

Out with the Old and in with the New

Well, it was time to say goodbye to an old friend... my kitchen table that I bought for my loft in Chicago. It had its usefulness, but it just wasn't what I would deem the best choice for a family.


...and time to say hello to our new friend... a lovely oak kitchen table that can actually hold 4 people, plus 2 leaves to fit another 4 more. Yippee! I feel so much better having a sturdier table for when our daughter finally does come home.
