{one.of.those.days}
Renovating a house has brought about many an epiphany. First, it is the realization that I am blatantly awful at hammering anything other than mid air, and the very tip of my thumb. Seriously….if I had actually hit a nail on the head every time I was supposed to, we might be moved in by now. Second, appliances in any other color than white cost 2 times more, and actually do 2 times less. Finally, if you want something done right, hire a professional, not some hack, photographer/mom who thinks that she can do it just because she say it done on TV. (no really, sheet rocking is an art…not something to learn from the boob tube…take my word for it).
Daily Mantra:
“Home is where you hang your head.”

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that photo. And I so feel your pain about the renovation. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!
Bummer for one of those days. We okay by we I mean me and sometimes the kids just finished repairing our home from all the flood damage in July. My dh usually does it all but he is away at work. Boy does it feel good when its done.
Oh I LOVE this photo…It is so sweet! I have days like that a lot!

Oh my goodness. Your blog is amazing. I am going to have to add this one to my list of blogs I lurk everyday. Love love love all these pictures. Just adorable.
What a sweet shot! It goes perfectly here with your post. I’m not so good at hammering things either so I understand where your coming from.
Oh, what a cutie!! I definitely feel like that today, too.
What a cute shot and so appropriate for your post! That’s how I’d look trying to do a home remodel!
Oh man!!! Her expression is too cute!!!!
what a face!!! I feel like that this morning!!
Oh, the drama!!! I love this shot, and then laughed out loud as I read your post, followed by the perfect mantra! My philosophy has always been to hire someone. It’s cheaper that way that paying someone to fix the work you paid yourself to do. Good luck!!! Remember, on TV they are pros, and have tons of help off-camera, just like Martha.
You crack me up! I’m with you–I can’t do anything handy. What a perfect photo to illustrate your feeling!
Ironically enough, I have two roofers from Rumford up on my roof right now. Not only are they professionals, they’re HAWT!
