Hepburn and Houndstooth is about to undergo some serious renovation and construction. Due to not having uninterrupted time and constantly consulting The Webmaster for help, it will take place over a week or more and probably a little at a time. So if things start looking a little wonky, please bear with me! Thanks so much for reading!

What else is it supposed to do or tell you? I added it to my sidebar tonight, so please join up so maybe I can begin to “get” it. Also, if you have any insight or tips, please leave a comment!

Update: I was finally told by Allison at House of Hepworths this tidbit: “Google Friend Connect is just another way to read blogs. It’s a reader like Reader for Google. If you friend someone on Google Friend Connect you can use the reader function in blogger on your dashboard. I personally prefer to follow blogs using Google Reader, but this just gives people more options.” Thank you, Allison!

However, my husband really prefers things more simple and toned down, so I could compromise with this…

Both images found through House of Turquoise, which is a must-read if you love the color.

These Cali Stack bowls are perfect for my dream kitchen! At first, I just loved the look of them. Then I found out about the lip around the top of the bowl, designed for pushing food onto your utensil! Genius! This set contains 4 bowls – 1 cup, 1.5 cup, 3 cup, and 5 cup. You can choose from red or aqua. They are also microwave and dishwasher safe and BPA free.

2. In high school and in my early college years, I refashioned clothes I no longer wanted and had my mom sew original designs.  I loved being creative with clothes.  Now, mostly out of financial need, I am into it again.  I currently have a large stack of clothes to work on and I am so excited about it!

3. Nick went to Vacation Bible School last night for the first time.  He absolutely loved it, as I knew he would.

4. We created a log-in on the computer for Nick.  It is very restricted.  He can’t surf most sites and he has no printing capabilities or any capabilities at all, really.  We will gradually broaden his boundaries as he gets older.  He is loving it and is learning so much.  He plays on the Thomas and Friends website 90% of the time.

5. Last night, I had a Moment as a mom.  At 10 pm on a typical night, there is a sink full of dishes that I don’t have energy to touch, toys all over the floor, and I’m emotionally and physically exhausted from dinner/bath/bedtime.  Yesterday was different.  At 9:45, I looked around and smiled.  Dishes were done, cooked chicken chopped and placed in freezer for Wednesday’s dinner, and only feeling halfway wiped out.  The kids had even gone to bed smiling and without a fight.  I decided that for that day, I rocked as a mom.

6. We have finally made the decision to have one more child.  I am definitely hoping for a girl, but will still be thrilled if it’s a boy (which it’s likely to be).  We have already decided on a couple of girl names and have a list of boy names to decide on.  However, we probably won’t even start trying until early next year.  There are a couple of my cousins who are currently trying.  I am so thrilled that this last child of ours will have cousins close in age, as I have grown up having.

7. This time of year is hell at my dad’s house.  The pests come out in full force.  I have battled a couple of cockroaches, smashed lots of spiders, and sprayed ants all day long.  We live in the woods in a very old house, and every year at this time, we’re invaded.  I’m a little ready for winter.  Mostly, I’m just ready to move out of here.

8. This weekend is going to be amazing.  Saturday night, I have a Girls Night with my friend Amber.  We’ll also meet up for a bit with my friend Tyler, who I’ve not seen in YEARS.  Sunday is my family reunion, which I look forward to every year.  My family is fantastic.  This entire week I’m going to be busy, getting an outfit together for Saturday, deciding what to make for the reunion, and getting caught up on housework so I don’t have to worry about it all weekend.

9. The last few days, I’ve been trying out getting up earlier, theorizing that it would make me go to sleep earlier at night and I would get more sleep.  Well, turns out that I am still not falling asleep till nearly 3 a.m. most nights, therefore getting less sleep.

10. At the beginning of this post, I announced that Harper is saying “bye.”  Well, he just dropped his cup and said “uh-oh.”  New words every day!
