i read design mom occasionally.
she has a series of posts titled "living with kids."
i loved this one.
in fact, i just spent the last few min. scanning her blog.
oh europe. 
i love to dream.
i love the part about home rennovating when you feel like it and can handle it.
because life itself is enough sometimes.
and projects on top of that can put you over the edge.
messes on top of messes.
and money.
so much money.
it made me think of all the little projects we have done to our place over the last 2 years.
we have to take breaks in between.
for our sanity, and
for our wallets,
