Welcome to my blog! I am Melissa and my husband and I have been married since October 10, 2009. We bought our "forever home" in October of 2008 and we love our old 100 year old home and all of the charm it offers. We are passionate about DYI projects and we've got a few under our belts with this house so far. With the start of the new year we are excited to extend our family:) Stop by from time to time to watch us grow:)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone:) We've added a few finishing touches on our full bathroom and we're nearly done with the room. We need to focus our attention on our main floor bath so we can get this house back to normal. I am so tired of having drywall in my dining room and dodging 2x4's in the kitchen. The time will soon come:) But with working full time and usually working late, we never want to work on the bathroom after work and of course, weekends are for relaxing...haha.

On the bright side, the hubby and I are officially trying for baby burrito*I call Santino my burrito and so it only makes sense that our offspring will be called baby burrito*..:) Well technically we started trying in October on our 2 year anniversary but we had hoped it would have happened quickly and we would be able to share with the family at Christmas. Of course, things didn't work out that way for us. But we are still trying! Over the past year I have been collecting baby items that I could find on sale for super cheap. I already have a ton of ideas and I know where I want to go with the baby room and theme. Check out these cute colors and other pictures I found on Pinterest:)



I bought this awesome buffet off of craigslist for super cheap and ended up painting it a mint green color and gave it a distressed finish and plan to use it for a baby changing table:) I absolutely love the owl theme and I adore the weekly photos that Sherry and John Petersik from younghouselove.com , my favorite blog and one that I find myself checking daily on updates:) They took a photo a week of their beautiful baby girl for her first year and displayed the photos at her 1st birthday. Such an awesome idea!

So now that we don't have to be all secretive about everything and we are excited about trying to start our family:) We hope for all of the support and love from all of our friends and loved ones.
