You can visit the site at jasonlovescj.com. Because we’re cool like that. PS I am OBSESSED with ElegantTheme’s “Convertible” theme. It’s amazing and so easy to use! If the theme was better suited for blogging I would have already changed STC over to it.

Last wednesday, we took a break from the eastern shore and visited the big apple! We mainly stayed around Chelsea and ended up in Times Square for dinner at Planet Hollywood.
My favorite part? Visiting the High Line. I was fascinated by it! You can find out information on the High Line here, but let me tell you it is a park to see if you plan on visiting the city anytime soon. I really want to go back and see it in the spring when the plant life is green and growing, but even in the middle of winter it feels so peaceful.
The High Line was built in the 1930s and lifted freight traffic 30 feet into the air so it could remove the danger of the traffic from the streets. It stopped in 1980. It has now been transformed into a public park.
Here are some pictures Jason took with the camera. I’m thinking about framing a few of these!

So I finally decided that we should replace the baseboard heater in our main bathroom. Don’t ask me why I wanted to this week, but it stuck with me and we ordered it through our warehouse at work. Our old one was rusted over and I kept painting the rust to hide it!
It came in on wednesday, and we installed it that night.
However.
I made a mistake. I will admit it here for all to read because I am usually the one nagging Jason that he needs to measure, measure, then cut.
I measured the heater wrong. Our original heater was 36″ long and for some reason, I memorized that I needed a 30″ heater in my head. So we were 6″ off.
But we went ahead, because I was angry at my mistake and we had already started to take the old one off. See the rust? That is the main reason why this desperately needed to be replaced.
Please note: always turn off the breaker! Do not attempt to install a new heater without doing this step first!
The way our heater is installed is there are two supply wires that you need to connect. But Jason called his dad and rechecked the manual just to make sure.
Once we connected the wires all we had to do was screw it back into the wall and we were done!
As you can see from the picture above, Jason and I decided that we would just replace the baseboard molding in the bathroom in order to fix our mistake in measuring. Because our bathroom only needed less than 8′ of molding, buying one piece at Lowes did not break out bank (around $8).
Here is a picture of our bathroom without molding. It looks ugly. It makes me want to tear up the old linoleum!
So just like any other project we’ve done, I started thinking about what else we could do to the bathroom while I had the molding off…
So here is what is on my to-do list for this weekend:
Hope everyone has a great weekend! This sunday, I will be stuck between cheering for my family’s team, the Patriots, and my husband’s team, the Ravens. It will be stressful!

I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on. But it’s nearly 11 o’clock and I have a little more to do to spruce it up. It was one of things I wanted to accomplish on my goal list I created a while back. Hopefully tomorrow morning before work I can snap some pictures and show you it! If not, I apologize for the wait and should have it up by early afternoon (aka: my lunch).
Want to know what it is?
“Make a place for myself to blog/craft/etc in our current home.”
Even Jason came out of the office from working on his mixing to help me out a bit. I’m so happy that I finally have a place to sit my butt down and not feel so distracted by everything else, yet still be in the main part of our home. Let’s hope I get it done for tomorrow!
Read MoreI finally bought it. I’m eagerly awaiting its arrival.
I have been debating between this bag and another since last week. I told Jason that in order for me to learn how to photograph better and use the camera we spent a lot of money for, I needed a bag to carry it in. I already hate that I have to carry a tote AND my purse to work everyday to bring in my laptop. Nevermind a camera bag, too! My goal was to find the bag of all bags, that could hold everything at once.
This bag is it. It can hold my 15″ Macbook Air, my camera, and all of my purse things. Here is the video that won me over with the space it has. If you are still debating the video definitely will make a decision for you!
I can’t wait to have a place for everything on the go with everything in its place! I’ve never been so excited for a bag, ever. Please don’t disappoint me Epiphanie!
Read MoreI don’t think it’s a bad thing that when a new year comes around, everyone starts creating a New Year’s resolution or two, things they want to change in their lives in the next year to make them better. Every year, I want to quit cigarettes, lose weight, stay healthy, etc. but I’ve never made it a public list. So I’ve decided to combine my New Year’s resolutions with a popular idea other bloggers have called the “life list” (such as Nicole did over at Making it Lovely or Alex did from Alex the Girl). These are in no particular order of importance and they will most likely be edited over time; here it goes:
