Hi guys! We hope you had a great weekend! We had so much fun. We drove up to Ferndale, Mich., to visit one of my best friends for her 40th birthday. She had a bounce house!!! We bounced, ate donuts in the middle of the night, and just generally had a...
Hi! Our Internet is working! We told you on Facebook on Monday that our Internet was broken. Well, long story short, it turns out our electric company told our Internet company (two unrelated companies, btw) that we’re moving, so even though we don’t have a moving date yet, the Internet company closed our...
We’re having family over this weekend for some “tailgating” before the Cleveland Browns-Pittsburgh Steelers game, so I wanted to put up a few seasonal decorations to make our house look festive. If we don’t have a working kitchen or guest bath, at least we can be well decorated, right?? I whipped...
IT’S THE SUMMER OF ICE CREAM!! Andy and I made a list of 12 of Cleveland’s ice cream shops that we are going to visit this summer, and I’ve maybe never been more excited about anything in my life!! This list is based on research of “best of” lists on various websites,...

I’m up to my eyeballs in projects today so I don’t have time for a real post today, but I just had to stop and show you this amazing thing. Saturday, Sept. 19, 1891, written on the wall in a bedroom closet. I don’t go in this closet very often so this...
I thought it would be really fun to make a polka dotted lampshade for my living room, to go with the new polka dotted rug. You can’t have too many polka dots, right?! I wanted my polka dots to be nice and big, which was a bit of a challenge. If...
We are going on a quick trip to Palm Springs, California soon, which of course has me dreaming about everything I want to pack. And of course I want to pack all new clothes! Ok, Andy, I won’t buy ALL new clothes, but I can still daydream about what I want to...
