DIY Home Decorating Projects, Tutorials, and Shenanigans. March 8, 2012. How To Install A Floating Cork Floor. This is supposed to be the post where I declare “The floors are DONE… enthusiastic exclamation point! 8221; But instead I’m here to say “The floors are almost done… sheepish period.” But they’re mostly down and they weren’t actually that hard to do! Seriously, anyone can do this. Since we last updated you. They’ve gone from this:. That held it very loosely together so that we could then lay it f...

our little family: Scary.
http://dickmanfam.blogspot.com/2012/08/scary.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Callie's room has been getting to me lately. It's a mess. It is hard for me to walk in there, much less hang out and talk to her at night before she goes to sleep. What is the problem? Let me make a confession.the kid has some hoarding tendencies. If I were kind, I'd call her a "collector," but that skirts around the reality of the situation. I tried making her watch Hoarders once, but she didn't like it. She probably saw too much of herself in it. I had to bring in my compute...

our little family: Cactus
http://dickmanfam.blogspot.com/2012/10/thank-you-mommy-for-taking-out-my.html
Thursday, October 11, 2012. For taking out my. I know I can always. Count on you Momma! This is the note I found from Callie on the whiteboard upstairs tonight. You see, she'd gone for a walk in the open space with Brynn and two friends, only to step on a cactus and end up with a big "pokey thing" in her foot. She wouldn't come down from the hill under her own power - Brynn had to carry her. Brynn carried Callie on her hip, in case you were wondering how that worked. I know I was. Hot, Flat, and Crowded:...

our little family: Asian Adventure part 1: San Francisco
http://dickmanfam.blogspot.com/2013/04/asian-adventure-part-1-san-francisco.html
Thursday, April 11, 2013. Asian Adventure part 1: San Francisco. I talked yesterday over at The Friendly Home. About why we decided to travel with our kids, why we chose Asia, and some things we learned about traveling with kids. It can be complicated, but it's worth it. The pastor who I grew up with, who married Scott and me, just left for Madrid. On a much simpler trip which, in retrospect, makes me a bit jealous. I wonder if that ever actually happens? It was an action-packed time but so much fun.

our little family: Moments
http://dickmanfam.blogspot.com/2012/07/moments.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. You've probably been through this. You have a conversation with your child and you realize that you want to remember everything about your child in that moment. The wit, the intelligence, the humor, the cute little face. I had a couple of those with Callie yesterday. My brain seems to be at capacity these days, so I'm putting Callie's words here so I won't forget. Me: Your room doesn't seem very picked-up tonight. Callie: I'm a kid. I play. Callie: ( very calmly. Books that have ...

our little family: Be friends with boys.
http://dickmanfam.blogspot.com/2012/07/be-friends-with-boys.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. Be friends with boys. That was my advice to Brynn tonight. Amid all of the girl drama at swim practice and at school, my best advice is, "Be friends with boys.". I also made Brynn memorize what my mom repeated to me when I was Brynn's age. You'd worry less about what people think of you if you realized how seldom they do. Or, "Look at her legs! If I had legs like hers." Those are the things I'd think if I were a girl watching Brynn. Those are things I did. I know how she feels be...

our little family: Bring. It. On.
http://dickmanfam.blogspot.com/2012/08/bring-it-on.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Bring It. On. I'm done whining about summer ending too quickly. You may not have heard me, but you can ask Scott. Actually, don't. He's been tuning me out so he might not know what you're talking about. I love summer. It goes too quickly. I hate being cold. Bring on the rest of the year. I'll miss summer, but I'm accepting my fate. There. I said it. Now let's move on. Brynn and Callie started school today. 4th and 2nd grades. Can you believe it? That's a first. No kidding.

Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Libbie is upstairs playing with her squeaky stuffed rabbit, making lots of noise. I'm making dinner. Callie is making a friendship bracelet at the dinner table. I say, "Wow. There's a happy dog upstairs.". Callie says, "That's because she is in a happy family.". Smile I'm so blessed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Be sure to check out my DIY blog,.
