Mom of the year.

I often (jokingly, duh) refer to myself as "mom of the year" especially when I make epic parenting mistakes.  We've very recently moved, and haven't made an actual grocery store trip, so Sailor's lunch yesterday consisted of string cheese, apple sauce, and a slice of her great-grandmother's homemade chocolate zucchini bread.  I have to say, the whole thing was a big hit.

Dresser/Changing table makeover.

When I was pregnant with Sailor, I was determined to decorate as much of her room myself as I could.  I did not, under any circumstances, want to go to a store and buy a nursery-in-a-bag or any other ready-made things.  So, I started looking for a dresser that I could makeover on craigslist, and I found this beauty.  I don't actually have a good before picture, but it was a poopy brown color, with a black top.

(Please note that all of these "before" pictures were taken at my parents house!)

I decided to paint the dresser a turquoise blue color, and make the top white.  I LOVE how it turned out.

And the after pictures:

The knobs are probably my favorite part of the whole thing, to be honest.  They're from Anthropologie, and my mom bought them for me, because she knows that I'm in love with that store, but it's a little too rich for my blood. 

I am so fail.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, I'm a crappy blogger.  I have such high hopes for myself, but this one keep distracting me.
