The Shower Assault
Strange things happen when you have four small children. Often someone isn’t wearing pants, it’s socially acceptable to walk around with food smeared all over one’s face and in the hair, and everything is sticky.
Today Jon decided to go for a run. First run in a long while, but good for him. I am on a no-exercise-until-the-twins-are-over-one-year-old-plan, but that’s...

WatchNot the greatest video, but I literally only had time to do one take. What are ya gonna do.

Dear Nate
(this is what I sent the show)
Dear Nate,
I have always been a little obsessed with Alice in Wonderland and now it feels like I am living through the looking glass. My name is Kristina Coulter and I am a new homeowner in Lake Oswego, Oregon a suburb of Portlandia.
This 1954 home we bought is unlike any home I have ever seen before. Our living room is entirely encased in wood (Alaskan cedar), there...

Nate Berkus
There are sort of two other men in my life besides my husband: Tim Gunn and Nate Berkus. I have sort of even spent a lot of time in bed with these men. During my bedrest that is.
Now realize, they are both of the opposite sexual persuasion (at least I assume they are although Tim is a little A-sexual). Regardless, I am pretty sure Jon doesn’t feel threatened. But these men have been able to...
Ramble On
We are in! Home sweet home. What a crazy busy first few days. So busy moving our stuff YET AGAIN this year—moved from our Sisters house to the storage unit (June), me to the hospital (July), Jon and kids to my mom’s (August), to the NICU/Ronald McDonald house and Jon to our rental in LO (September), and now here, to Glen (February). I don’t ever ever want to move again....
Glen
Welcome Glen to the Coulter family! We did officially close on our new home on Tuesday and got keys! “Glen” is our new home’s name (it’s on Glenwood Ct). Never had a name for our house before. We’ve had names for our children, names for vehicles (my family’s boat—“Boaty”), a name for large inanimate objects like body pillows...
Bouncing Lady
We made it back. 3046.18 miles. Orlando to Portland. Kids actually did surprisingly well on our very long 8+ hours of flying. The ringing endorsement was when the folks who sat behind us on the flight said, “your kids did way better than I expected” (is that a compliment? I think so). There was a screaming baby on our last leg, thankfully it wasn’t one of ours. But that’s...
Thanksgiving
Well, we did it. Vacation that is. I know that doesn’t sound like an accomplishment, but in our case it is—airplanes, setting up camp for four little ones on the other side of the country, a work conference, and Disney for 10 days. And there have been more good moments than awful moments, so it’s been a success. Granted we have the flight home tomorrow which will be the last leg...
