About Me

A quick run down of who I am, because the readers other than my Mom and BFF might want to know… My name is Tasha. My friends call me Tasha. My Dad calls me Toosie.  Do not call me Toosie. We live in Vermont. It’s cold here! I am a Mom to three boys. Chandler […]

What I Wanted To Do…

What I wanted to do today was post pictures of our Living Room before and after. What I’m actually doing is nursing a sick kid. He moans. It’s the man cold in boy form. And it ain’t pretty. What I wanted to do today was show you how pretty my Living Room is. What I’m […]

Dining Room Renovation Before & After Pictures

When we first looked at this house the biggest disagreement we had was about where the dining room would go. There is a space off the kitchen that I am guessing is supposed to be the dining room, but it was just way too small for us and our large table. My original thought was […]

Nasty Rusted Bathtub Before & After

When we first toured this house my biggest concern were the bathtubs. They were in such horrid shape! I wasn’t sure if they could be saved and I knew there was no money in our budget to replace them. New bathtubs are expensive, you guys! I had to decide if I was going to be […]

A Picture Day Miracle

Charlie put on jeans and a button up shirt for picture day on his own. Like, he decided to wear it. Yes, this is a monumental moment. Since this day years ago, what Charlie wears has always been one of those parenting struggles I avoid at all cost. He came down the stairs and I […]

You Think I’m Strong But I’m Not So Sure

We are a military family. It is fairly new to us. Even though many of our family members have been in the military, Matt just joined about three (or four? is it bad I can’t remember?) years ago. So it’s new to us on the level where it affects our every day life. The longest […]

Riding The Bus – A Love & Logic Lesson

We have had a bit of a problem over the summer with the boys fighting in the van. Anytime we drive anywhere, there is a fight. We have rearranged seats, had consequences, and I have pulled over more times than I care to remember. So when the first two mornings back to school consisted of […]

Charity Water – Making A Difference in Rwanda

Did you buy a cup of coffee today? What was it, like $6 or $7? Did you crack open a can of beer over the weekend? How much was that six pack? Are you drinking a nice cold glass of ice water as you read this? Go ahead, take a sip, relish in it’s ice […]

We Finally Arrived

Almost fourteen years ago, when Matt and I started our lives together, he worked at the mall. It was a good position in a sports store. Sometimes we think back to those days and wonder how we made it though. Once we had our first son, things changed. Matt decided it was time to go […]
