John suggested that I let you all in on our dirty secret of being snobs, at least in one regard. Despite the fact that significant amounts of our baby's things are second hand and we hardly ever buy anything that is name brand, we have discovered that only the best will do when it comes to our ranch dressing. In our opinion, Hidden Valley Original Ranch is the only way to have ranch dressing. We feel picked on if we have to have fat free or any other brand. Hidden Valley should pay us for our testimonials on advertisements for them, don't you think? :)

Is it nesting...or HGTV???
Some friends of ours gave us an idea of what to do with the beautiful cinder block walls in our apartment. There are only two cinder block walls, one our bedroom and one in the baby's. We decided to follow their advice and use starch and fabric to cover the walls. Green in our room, yellow in the baby's. Also, she gets a little star boarder for her's as well. For anyone that might try this, be sure to use a wallpaper brush to get it to stick. Just using your hand to get it to stick ends up being 5x the amount of work.
We also got the bug to do some home improvement by painting a dresser and bookcase. This turned out to be a lot more work than we originally thought. Mostly we just weren't anticipating the sanding taking so long and it needing primer plus three coats of paint. Anyway, we were very proud of ours selves. Just for the record this is definitely a result of watching HGTV and not nesting. Spending the entire day cleaning our apartment today though...
