Cabin Bathrooms


 When we purchased the Cabin in Sunriver, it came equipped with some classy early 90's decor, especially in the bathrooms. Linoleum, pinkish tiles, wood TP holders, brass finishes, and bathtubs I avoided showering in, and didn't want to imaging bathing a baby in! So we enlisted PGC Building to redo all three bathrooms.  They're all relatively small, so we kept the same layouts, but gave them a nice update.


This is one of the master bathrooms. All three of the bathrooms have the same custom cabinets with the sinks. They all have unique tiles and mirrors and lighting. We converted the bathtub to a shower.



This is the other master bedroom. Both masters have river rock tile shower floors. We opted for the sawed tiles so they're flat when you step on them, but still look really nice. The sink is a custom concrete sink made by a company in Bend. Several of the restaurants around Bend have similar sinks in different colors, and they have been making sinks for restaurants across the country. Pretty cool. Oh yeah, and heated floors in this bathroom!




This is the Guest/Kids bathroom. We kept a tub in this one, but replaced it with a nicer tub rather than an insert - and got rid of the horrid sliding glass door. The sink faucet is very unique. But only problem is that in order to turn off the faucet, you drop water all over the top after washing your hands. If that's the biggest issue, I suppose we'll be alright. :)





All in all, very happy with how these have turned out. And they're very pleasant to use!

Mom of the Month?

Proof that I've actually been going to Stroller Strides - our family was featured in the local April Newsletter. My favorite part is that when I received the email request to answer some questions, the subject line was "Mom of the Month?" and I had hours before accidentally locked Oliver and the dogs in the car for 40 minutes. I was sure I was about to be harassed, but fortunately, no.

The features are no more than a way for the moms to get to know each other, but still fun!

Food TIme

Oliver has been eating solid food for over a month now. We've been having a good time coming up with new fruits and veggies to prepare for him. He's eating lunch and dinner now and we are just buying fresh or frozen organic fruits and vegetables, steaming or baking them, and then pureeing or mashing them up. We save a little fresh and then portion the rest out in ice cube trays to freeze for later. We have baggies full of colorful little food pucks throughout the freezer. I've signed up for Organics to You to bring us fruits and veggies weekly. Next week will be the first delivery, which I'm looking forward to. But I'm also a little intimidated by the potential for new things I've never eaten or prepared before. A healthy challenge, I suppose!

We also finally received Oliver's new Stokke high chair. He was sitting on our laps before, but I've gotten too many of my pants dirty, and he's getting big! These high chairs are cool, because they pull up to the "family table" without a tray. They look good, and will adjust throughout childhood and eventually work as a stool for a grownup. An investment and a piece of furniture. This is the one we picked out for the house.


I left him in it to grab my camera for a second and Oliver managed to grab his food and began feeding himself. Shortly before he almost dropped the entire bowl on the floor. :)

Happy Easter

One perk to working out at the mall in the morning? First in line for Honeybaked Ham and photos with the Easter Bunny. Happy Easter to me.


The holiday weekend started out with Mitchell and I meeting up with our good friends Andrea and Chris. It was the longest time I've been away from Oliver - 7 or so hours. Kerry watched him and we enjoyed life like we were young again. We had the most amazing burger concept - Peanut Butter burgers! Peanut butter on the bun as a condiment, along with bacon. Delish. Though, wasn't as enjoyable feeling sick at 1 am, and not fun at 7 am when Oliver was ready to be up. Can't party like we used to!

Easter has been eventful. Oliver turned 7 months today. We celebrated with friends, and I brought along my successful lemon bars. I've eaten enough chocolate to make my teeth ache. I missed my friend, Chocolate. And the Easter Bunny even brought Oliver a little bunny and book. All in all, a Happy Easter!
