Turning the garage into a tween homework/gaming space
This post is sponsored by Tarkett NA. In the ongoing saga of updating my house . . . this week I tackled the garage. Unfortunately, home prices in Southern California are at a premium, which means that we have to use every square inch of space that we’ve got. As a family of four kids, finding the space for instruments and desks can be a challenge, not to mention the suitcases, sleeping bags, and random crap one needs to store. So I don't park my car in the garage, and have wanted to turn it . . .

Progress on the kitchen/living room remodel
My kitchen remodel has definitely been a "hurry up and wait" process. I did a structural remodel when I moved in almost two years ago, moving the cabinets around to create an island and open up the kitchen to the rest of the room. Here is what it looked like before: Rather than an island, the original kitchen had a wall with pantries and a refrigerator. The result is that I couldn’t see anyone in the living room while I was in the kitchen . . . so the kids ended up plopping on the floor . . .

Surpisingly Painless
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Esurance. The opinions and text are all mine. I'm trying hard to get my kids proficient in the kitchen. I didn't grow up really learning to cook, and I don't think I could properly chop an onion until my 30's. I want my kids to leave home with a basic set of cooking skills, and a couple easy meals they can make for themselves or for friends. I've been attempting to have each of my older three cook a meal independently . . .
