Three years ago today I started Domestic Imperfection. For the first two blogiversaries I put together giveaways as a thank you to my readers for all the support. This year I didn't plan anything though, mostly because it's a whole lot of work and only one or two people win things. So instead I'm going to do something better...I'm going to completely embarrass myself for your entertainment. If that doesn't show my gratitude then I don't know what does.
So here it goes.

Christmas House Tour, Domestic Imperfection Style
Merry Christmas Eve! I'm sure everyone is busy preparing for tonight and tomorrow, but I thought I'd finally pop in with my house tour just in case anyone is online.

I have sifted through and looked at most of them, and I have to say...I'm impressed. Everyone's house looks amazing, festive, cozy, and beautiful. Picture perfect. …

I’m A Tan Van Fan
Perhaps I'm uncool, or maybe I just appreciate function over form, but I'm super excited about my new minivan! We bought it last week after casually shopping for more months than I care to admit. It's a 2004 Honda Odyssey....tan leather interior, fully loaded and only 72,000 miles. Okay, perhaps that not considered "new" to most people, but it's pretty darn new for this family. Both the carseats fit, the radio works, and I can fill it full of Home Depot goodies...I'm in love :) And after sharing …

The First Post
The plan is to make this blog about all things domestic. Cooking, cleaning, organization, home decorating....except that I'm not that great at cooking. And cleaning is something I have no room to give advice on. I'm okay at organization; I like organizing things but have a hard time keeping them that way. Home decorating...now that I can do. Decorating on a budget is the best kind, the less you have to spend the better. That kind of decorating requires creativity and leads to a home that …
