You guys are givin’ me a tooth ache.
Seriously. You are that sweet.
Some of you nominated Bower Power for Apartment Therapy’s Homies Award and I am so honored.
I know I am not typical Apartment Therapy material…what with all the baby references and the photography info and the random posts about chasing possums…and even though I don’t own an Eames chair or a “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster, you still thought of little ole Bower Power as deserving a nod for this prestigeous award. Granted – I am sure that much bigger & badder fish will make the top six…but just being in the same pool as those bloggers made me smile.
Thank you for thinking of me. It made my day.
p.s. Part Two of the house tour later today! Before Midnight 🙂 Promise!
Robin says

I read your blog because it’s different than all the other big fish. I think you totally deserve the nomination!

‘Twas tough since you only get ONE vote BUT you totally got mine Katie! I love your honesty and the fact that not everything is perfect!!! I love the perfect blog that linked me to yours with the perfect couple, the perfect house(s), and the perfect family… but you just seem so authentic. I know “we” can be challenging but I hope you keep on keepin’ on! Good luck!
Cait @ Hernando House says
I <3 you KB!
PS- Thanks for not having a Keep Calm print, it might have made me love you a little less.

Rebecca @ the lil house that could says
The fact that you’re not exactly houseblogger and not exactly mommyblogger is one of the reasons why I love you… you just post what you want to post and it feels completely realistic and down to earth! Oh and the photography tips and the photos themselves are so wonderful!

Hi there!
I think this might be the first comment that I have ever left on your site, but I stalk here often :-). Congratulations on your new home! I am sure that you have big big plans for getting it all Bower family friendly. I look forward to checking back for the progress.
Have a lovely evening.

holy big house batman, you guys must be planning on having 19 kids! what a great house to make your home & it looks like the old owners that were foreclosed on, didn’t even bother to flood the second level to make the ceilings on the first floor cave in! awwwwesome. i’ve seen some nasty foreclosed homes, all on account of previous owner vengeance so you guys are lucky!

Katie says
Well – not 19. I hear your uterus falls out of your body cavity after 16. But definitely a lot.

I actually was just browsing the list, and came to your blog to tell you I saw it! I check some house blogs, but your blog is only blog I check that isn’t so focused on just house stuff. I like your blog! Good luck with the Homies and house shopping!

If I see one more “Keep Calm…” sign, I am going to become extremely uncalm. You are a breath of fresh air. I actually quit reading AT because I’m so sick to death of Eames chairs and “Keep Calm” posters. Pleez ppl.
