Today's Theme - DIY

This blog is having an identity crisis. I follow so many entertaining, funny and some very resourceful blogs out there. Some are written by clever SAHM's who have professional blogs that actual make them money as a result of their large following...like this one. There are some that display fabulous photography and let us follow their everyday lives in an entertaining way....like this one. Then there are others that detail home improvement projects to a T and inspire us to tap into our own DIY potential...like this one. Oh, and then there are those that detail impressive, crafty projects like sewing, scrap booking, cooking...the list goes on.

I'm not sure what this blog is. Basically it has become mostly an account of things our little guy does that make us smile mixed in with a crock pot recipe every once in a while and perhaps an update on recent family events. I tried making it more interesting by adding a "What I'm Reading" widget a few weeks ago...but then decided to take it down because my list was not changing. Seriously, 15 minutes each night was not going to make that part of the ole blog any more entertaining. So, thanks for hanging in there with me even though the Dawson Spectacle has become a mish mosh of topics that mostly include our kid.

Today, it's a home improvement blog.

Mike and I have felt recharged lately...ready to work on our house again after about a year off. We started by freshening up our master bath. We didn't spend a lot of money but added a few nice touches that I think came out nicely.

• Repainted
• Added a cool chandelier (that one is still up for debate...we may be returning and getting a new one...I'm hoping it starts to grow on Mike before that happens.)
• Hung a dark bamboo shade on the large window above the tub. Sorry, not a great picture of that one but it really warmed the place up.
• Bought new monogrammed towels to replace our old ones we got when we got married seven years ago.
