Ever since I moved to Cleveland years ago, I’ve been hearing about East Coast Custard from so many of my friends who love it, but for some reason Andy and I had both never had an opportunity to try it for ourselves. Until now. And now we know what the...
Installing the kitchen at the cabin went pretty much exactly how I thought it was going to go: everything took longer than I expected and there were a bunch of little hiccups that made us change some plans. So let’s talk about it! After unloading the moving truck and getting everything...
The other day I saw the most amazing rug that had me freaking out. The colors! The pattern! So I then spent the next, oh, way-too-many hours rug shopping online. The fact is, though, as much as I love decorating and obsessing about ALL the details, I kind of hate shopping for rugs. First of...

We are in NYC for a couple of days visiting friends. We’re calling it our puppymoon — the last vacation before puppy. We’ll be home in time for some turkey dinner (or mostly for the stuffing!) … and then we get to bring home our new puppy! (Isn’t she adorable?!)...
