A few years ago, I created a gallery wall of family photos along the wall that runs next to our home's staircase to our second story.

I started the gallery wall when my kids were little, and I've added to it bit by bit—which resulted in a layout that was a bit chaotic. I recently got a very cool Cigman CM-S02 level—which is an awesome tool for all sorts of DIY projects—so I decided to finally make the layout of the gallery wall more orderly.

Spring Happenings—and Giveaway!
If you read my blog, you know that I have an adorable little Shih Tzu named Mochi! He is my buddy! I just got him a haircut, and he is looking super dapper! I love how clean he is now!

My kids are about to graduate from college next month, Continue reading...

Pet-Friendly Hardwood Floors
I've been wanting to install pet-friendly hardwood floors in our home, especially since we got our Shih Tzu pup about 5 years ago. We've been good at keeping our carpets pretty clean since we moved into our home about 20 years ago, but the carpets have gotten significantly less clean since we got our dog—it's very hard to keep carpeting looking good when you are a dog owner! But I've been noticing lately that there are many new wood flooring options on the market now that would be perfect for my dog-friendly home!
