MARCHin' along

In case you were wondering how my kiddos are doing:

They are all three still as cute as can be and sweet as ever. :)


And in case you're wondering what else I've been up to, I'll tell you a little story.

Back when Sam was a baby I got a free dresser. It was never a favorite piece of furniture but it did the job. Until recently. It really stopped doing its job. I cannot even open and close the drawers.
So I started the new-dresser-hunt. Every time I looked at DI I never found something that I could use or was willing to pay the price.

Until one day at DI, I saw this little one:

Not exactly my idea of good decor, but I saw potential. And a price tag I could handle. So I convinced Jason it would be worth the $25 and we loaded it up.
I immediately went to Pinterest :) I knew I'd find something good on there! And I did!

I found two similar dressers that I really liked. So with a sander and some paint, the "beautiful princess" dresser is now something I'm willing to put in my home:

And I totally love how much character an old dresser can have. I love that two of the drawers are missing chunks of wood and that the handles are not perfect. I'm actually quite sad that the place I need it is down in the storage room to hold my fabric....


And because I'm married to Jason, and he seems to think we live on a farm of some sort:
One of 11 bunnies we currently have: (And no, that doesn't include the 5 adult rabbits.)


Oh and meet Archie.


Because, honestly, who can resist kittens?

Pinterest for life. I love the dresser! The kids are getting TOO BIG! Make it stop! And I LOVE Archie (you know how Justin feels about cats, so I'm living my dreams through you guys). When are you coming to California? Please say soon. I miss you.

Ha, such a funny post! I love the picture of Livia, she totally looks like you and makes your same faces. When I saw the first picture of the dresser with the princess decor still on it, I totally thought, "Please tell me Sally didn't do that princess stuff to a dresser" I was very relieved that you found it that way, that you did not do it and that you promptly changed it :) he he
