As magical as the past five years of motherhood have been, one thing I really, really do miss is having a nice apartment. This place was never exactly the Ritz, but BC (before children) we had a nice dining table with a runner and candleholders, fewer murals made from a mixed medium of Crayola markers and toothpaste, a DVD player that wasn’t destroyed by someone putting pancakes in it, and portions of the wall that had been “fixed” by repeatedly stabbing at it with a toy screwdriver.

Now that the children are older and more mature, and since we have one final weekend of rest before our shop at DeKalb Market opens, we’re doing the only logical thing - moving all of our furniture and painting the apartment. Cavern Moss- the most soothing of the greens! Soon, this place will be as lovely as our Pinterest page

We also took away their toy screwdrivers. They had like six of those freaking things. I don’t know where they hell they’re getting them from.
