We celebrated Andy’s mom’s birthday last weekend with tater tots, friends and shuffleboard at Happy Dog. The menu here is simple: hot dogs, french fries and tots … along with dozens of not-so-simple toppings and sauces. You can choose from the usual (house-made ketchup) to the weird (vegetable chow mein) to...
We don’t usually post on Tuesdays but since someone (um, me) totally forgot to write a blog post for yesterday… and last Friday… I wanted to pop in today and just say hello and wish all of you the happiest of holidays. I’m assuming a lot of you, like me,...
All of a sudden I’m totally obsessed with blue. I can’t get enough. I want blue everywhere in my house. It may have something to do with the fact that we just painted our guest room a phenomenal shade of dark blue with crisp white trim, and it’s our new favorite...
I’m going to share an embarrassing picture. This is what my house looks like right now, standing at the front door. Piles of boxes. Furniture shoved wherever it will fit. 4 rooms to paint. A costume to plan. Decorations to make. Only 8 weekends to do it! Eeeek!!!...

You guys. (I have a friend who hates it when people start things with “you guys” and I think of him every time I say it, but I still say it anyway …) So. You guys. We were planning on having a “Burrito Summer” update for you today and the first of...
When we were on the Ohio City Home Tour and hundreds of people toured our house, one of the most commented upon things was really surprising to me: the photostrips I had hung on the wall in our office. People loved them and so many people wanted to talk about the photos. It’s funny...
