It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home
I love my master bedroom. I love climbing into our bed, flipping on the television to watch “Friends”, while the LOML falls fast asleep.

Do you remember when I told you about the LOMLs desk that we were going to move into Son #4’s bedroom when we were building the cozy reading nook? How it fell apart in our hands as we were transporting it. We didn’t make it ten steps before all the joints broke apart! We ended […]
I’m so excited to show y’all our new cozy reading nook in our master bedroom! But before I do, a little recap of how we got here. We had a small alcove in our bedroom that housed the LOMLs computer desk. I’ve wanted to revamp our master bedroom for awhile and when I saw this […]
