It’s been a while since our last update on living through a renovation. Our reno, which was quoted at 5 weeks, maybe 6, but hopefully 4, is now in its sixth week. So we stretched to six. And we probably have a month to go before the counters get installed. Pretty...
It’s not all about human babies around here… our lives revolve around our fur babies just as much. With our 14-month-old goldendoodle Ruby, 14-year-old black cat Trixie, and 13-year-old little cat Mocha, we’re pretty much surrounded by animals at home at all times. And they need Christmas presents, too! Here are some things that...
If you follow us on facebook (you should!), you might have seen our big news on Monday that we signed a contract to have our laundry moved from the basement to the pantry, YAY! We have a VERY scary basement, which I guess makes sense for a house built in 1890, but...

Hello! Long time no talk. Seriously, sooo long. HAPPY 2018! We had our last holiday parties of the year this past weekend, so we can finally start getting back into the swing of real life, which feels good. I kind of just want life to be routine again… or as...
Hey, you guys, Valentine’s Day is tomorrow! As much as I think this holiday is silly, I just love sending cards to my favorite girls, all elementary school style. I whipped up this little watercolor-inspired card, so if you need a last-minute card for yourself, I’ve attached the pdf here...
