Taking tips from my favorite HGTV show, Jake and I have made some improvements to our house, hoping to help us get top dollar. Or, you know, just selling it would be nice too.

So here I present to you the final products of all of our hard work:

So THAT'S Why Kids Shouldn't Play with Scissors

(Please don't judge. Or do. Whatever.)

On Sophie's debut day of wearing her new skirt, she found a pair of scissors on the desk in the office. Obviously the skirt needed some editing. And the shirt. And obviously this girl needs better supervision.

Know Anyone Moving to AZ?

I know of a house for sale.

The Whole Banana

Sophie's new love: The WHOLE Banana.

Not banana sections.

Those are for babies.













































p.s. has anyone else ever realized that a banana splits by itself into 3 sections lengthwise? Awesome.
