Jason and I hired a contractor a couple of months ago and we've begun remodeling our upstairs to make a 3rd bedroom. We're also redoing our stairway and entry. I am so excited.
We bought this house about a year ago. It was the perfect house for us as far as location and size, but it's 20 years old and needs some updating. Now we're slowly beginning the process of making it our own. So fun to see the changes!

Love My Minivan... What's Happening to Me???
I don't think anyone considers himself a "Minivan Person". I would like to think none of us who own one believe it to be a cool car. They're embarrassing. They're the stereotype everyone refuses to give into.
About a year and a half ago, I gave in and got the dreaded van. AND I LOVE IT!!!
Sliding doors that open at the punch of button as you're nearing your car with a child on one hip and 3 bags in the other hand. Awesome!
Low to the ground so that kids can easily climb in and infant carriers don't have to be hoisted into a high SUV. Brilliant!
Seating that can be rearranged in several convenient configurations and then can be stowed. Genius!
Removable consoles and lazy susans. More storage than I will ever use.
My Honda Odyssey is the best!
Listen... They're not cool cars, but they're the most well-thought-out vehicle for a family that I've found. If only more acceptable, less mom-ish cars had these features. But until a suburban has a door that will slide open so that your kids don't ding the car next to you, I have to stick with the van. And shamefully, I'm ok with that.
