DIY Modern Horizontal-Plank Gate

If we’re going to be honest here (and why shouldn’t we be), our backyard is a sore spot for us. It’s not what we want, but we’re working on it. But our gate seemed to always set the tone for what we were getting into...

Starting Baby on Solid Foods

It’s been SO MUCH FUN starting Joey Lulu on solid foods. Our pediatrician recommended starting anytime after four months, but we waited until our kitchen was finally useable a few weeks ago, as she was turning six months. I always thought baby food meant super bland, gross...

Putting the bee in busy

So it’s about to get real busy around here. Real real busy. We’re starting a big icky time at work where I’ll probably be doing a lot of OT. And I signed up for not just one but two new classes that start this week....

Our Fall & Halloween Living Room Tour!

Hello there! I’m so excited to show you the small changes we’ve made to decorate our house for fall and Halloween. I love updating our living room for the seasons and holidays, but in simple, not totally over-the-top ways, like switching out pillow covers and...

Growing up in Alaska

It’s super duper cold in Cleveland right now. 11 below zero currently (not counting the wind chill), and despite us cranking the heat way up to 72 inside (we usually keep it between 62 and 65), the thermostat is only registering it at 56 indoors....

Cabin Progress: The Living Room

Hi guys! Tuesday was my birthday so I skipped our normal post, but I didn’t want to skip today too (even though I think my birthday deserves to be celebrated ALL week haha!). It’s been fun sharing with you all of our cabin progress, from...

Summer of the Burrito; aka Burrito Summer

It is well known throughout the (Cleve)land that I am the tri-state area’s premier burrito eater. In my prime I was eating three to five burritos a week. These days, I’m down to one or two a week. What can I say? Nobody’s perfect. The problem...

That Time Everything Went Wrong

Sigh. There’s a lot that’s difficult about renovating a house six hours away… obviously. There’s the issue of finding the time to go because you can’t just stop by real quick, there’s taking days off work, there’s having someone watch the kids and dog at home...

Scene Ale Fest

When Kerry was off in Toronto learning all the tips and tricks of Photoshop, I had quite an eventful weekend planned for myself here in Cleveland. On Friday I planned to have a wild night on West 25th Street. Three drinks and one burrito later,...

Inspiration: Modern Wood Kitchens

Hey guys! Happy Monday! I hope those of you in Cleveland were able to get outside yesterday and enjoy that gorgeous 60+ degree day. We took Joey and Ruby on a great walk around our new neighborhood. I love our neighborhood. As we’ve mentioned, we debated long...
