I never thought my husband and I would argue over who got to mop the floors... hah! Earlier this summer, when the baby started eating more foods (and making more messes), we got a cordless stick vacuum to help with quick cleanup (and also because have you ever tried to clean hardwood stairs with a corded vacuum cleaner?) around the house. Then the company who makes that stick vacuum asked if we wanted to test their latest product, and they sent us the brand new mop vacuum combo that just came …

Favorite Toddler Toys (for 2 Year Olds)
Like most moms, I cannot stand toys that make noise. Especially toys that make the same noise over and over and over. When I started to think about all of our favorite toys, and the ones that have stayed in rotation from toddlerhood to now, I realized that they're all non-electronic toys.

Because this was a few weeks ago, I decided to go with …

So those were just kind of spread out between the two cars. As you can imagine, it wasn’t a good system: We were frequently moving one out of the way to get to another.We have 4 strollers, including the click in base …
Our Painted Interior Doors
When we were picking out paint during the renovation, I used Pinterest a LOT. (I highly recommend looking on Pinterest to see how various rooms look with a single paint color! Just search for "(paint color) living room" for example.I kept coming across painted interior doors, which I hadn't really considered. But I really liked the look and decided that if we got sick of it, we could just paint them back to white. Easy!I took this ^ photo when I was working on deciding the final colors …
