Umm…why am I posting about January? Well because I kinda forgot. And I was already behind. So now I am REALLY behind. Story of my life. I’m gonna be late to my own funeral one day. So humor me, would ya? Because I have one of these a week for the next three weeks. I also have a ton of other posts planned…wish me luck.
If you are new to the party, every month I am supposed to recap the previous month’s events. That means that if you were busy being on time then you may have missed something here on Bower Power. And this gives you a chance to see it, fondle it, criticize my cellulite (you know you want to). Let’s get to it before I forget and get even more behind…
INSIDE & OUTSIDE PROJECTS:
- Kitchen Progress Continues (& continues & continues…)
- go big or go home (faucets that is!)
- pickin pencils
- grouting should be considered an olympic event
- Jennifer’s droolworthy laundry room
- Marble plate covers…who knew?!
- Ashley’s kitchen makes me wet myself. TMI much.
- Why do I have so much trash in my house?
- I vote every bedroom has a sitting room. Who’s with me?!
- You must read these.
- Our neighbors love us.
FRIENDS & FAMILY & PERSONAL POSTS:

SPONSORS:
We have to give a big shoutout to our wonderful sponsors…each one boasting some fantastic products that I would be proud to have in my own home. If you are looking to update your flooring, tile or fixtures…or need to turn your photos into wall art or buy some decor…I hope you look into their products too!
Are you fed up with the five options of fixtures at most home improvement stores? Sometimes your taste and the big box stores shoppers taste just don’t line up. Enter National Builder Supply. They have everything for kitchens and bathrooms. I’m obsessed with this vanity.
Impressions Hardwood Collection carries amazing quality hardwood floors. The best part is that they carry tons of different styles and colors…making it easy to find something for everyone.
I love when I walk into a home and it’s so ‘you’. Ya know? Erie Drive is a decor resource that puts YOU in your home with it’s unique personality pieces and cool finds. I’m obsessed with the unframed art.
Everyone knows I can’t get enough of The Tile Shop. I pretty much am tile-crazy. I’m thinking of seven areas that I need new tile right now.
Kitchen Resource Direct has the cheapest wholesale prices for cabinets the internet has to offer – price guaranteed! Don’t forget to check out their galleries…the kitchens are amazing!
I showed you recently my picks from Golden Age USA. Their rugs, lights, and decor are enough to give me hot sweats.
I’m thrilled that SnapBox joined our sponsors…because I am passionate about making photos into wall art. It’s important people! And right now they have a 20% off deal for Bower Power readers.

You have a new baby! You have plenty of excuses to be behind 🙂
Look how pregnant you are in those photos! I love the monthly round up – so nice to have all the links in one place 🙂
When I was that pregnant, I didn’t to even a fraction of what you accomplish. Especially the last trimester, ugh…
I wish I had your energy!
Breastfeeding pictures always make me misty! I miss that so much, and my youngest is 8… Love the island makeover, and the marble tile is beautiful!
haha, Katie…I’m actually so glad that you are doing this. It’s TOTALLY something I would do! 🙂 Actually, it makes me feel better that I just randomly throw in old photos from months and months ago….because better late than never, right?!
Life doesn’t come “in order”…and sometimes…neither does blogging. 😉
OMG! Are those mint tiles?
I think I am in love…

Sweetie – most of your sponsor photos aren’t coming up – I can only see TileShop and GoldenAge – and I can only click through to GoldenAge. Thanks!
Maybe hit refresh! Sometimes Photobucket gets wonky.

Refresh didn’t do it… and the links all take me to things with bazillionty-character addresses called “http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/aclk?…”
(For my future reference, do you want to hear about this stuff? And if so, would you rather get emails or replies? I wasn’t sure if I should even bring it all up…)
Completely off-topic, I saw your Good Housekeeping article in my dentist’s office last week – I was so excited!!! Your fame is ever increasing.
The picture of you feeding Baby is precious.
Soooo Katie, I feel as if you should know that I have your blog bookmarked and I visit you every day, if not twice, but I never use my bookmark for you because I just loooove typing BowerPower so much. Weird and completely random, I know! But I felt like I had to share. 🙂
Also you just crack me up!
Keep rockin it Girl.
All the best,
Katelyn
awww…this totally brought me to tears. that sounds crazy (let’s blame my hormones) but seriously…what a sweet thing to say. That was such an honor for me to hear.

No – thanks for telling me. I really appreciate it. And the links should take you to the long addresses first and then redirect to the sponsor site…does it do that?

Katie, you are HUMAN – you are totally allowed to be behind! I’m super behind, too, but figure that I’ll catch up in a few weeks when all those wonderful breastfeeding sessions start again. If you didn’t get caught in the same traps we all do trying to do it all, it wouldn’t make you perfectly imperfect (and lovable in God’s eyes). Just keep loving those babies – we love you all the same 🙂
