My Personal Chef
We’re still alive, I promise! Still very busy unpacking and getting the old house ready to sell. LilZ’s childhood friend that comes to visit every summer is also here for two weeks so that adds it’s own element of very fun chaos to our lives. I just wanted to pop in and let you all know I have uploaded some more pictures to flickr – my favorite being this one above. Wes used to help me cook all the time at the old house and I love that this house hasn’t... Read More
Out Of The Box
Two Christmases ago (Or was it three?) I was at Pier One shopping and found these chimes that I thought these would be perfect for my sister-in-law. And because I tend to really dig her style, I bought a set for myself as well. Even though I had NO idea where to put them. Everytime I went to her house and saw them by her window I would think Hmm…I don’t know if I have as good of a place for mine. And they never got hung. Partly because I couldn’t really decide...

An Assortment Of Photos To Break Up The Monotony of Unpacking
I am doing my best to unpack my office today. This is not going easily as I have no idea where everything should go.

It’s so small that when I stood on my desk and AGAINST THE WALL to hang a picture? The ceiling fan clipped the bun in my hair. Let me... Read More
My Favorite Room In Our New Home. (So Far.)
The dining room is the first room of the house I don’t mind calling DONE. There will eventually be things on the walls, but that will take awhile to decide on. There will be a few more pieces added to the china cabinet and probably something to the top of it. But for the most part? DONE. And I could not be more in love with it. From the table, which was my first real furniture purchase to the china cabinet which was Donnie’s doing. He saw a dresser in the same... Read More
This Is Why They Don’t Walk/Talk The First Year. You Need Time To Develop An Attachment So You Don’t Send Them To The Zoo.
I’ve never really believed in the whole “Terrible Twos” or “Torturous Threes” thing. I’ve always just said that there are bad phases between the time they learn to walk and the day they turn 4. Once they’re four, things get easier. That’s how it’s been for my family, anyway. And while it holds true with AndyZ, for the most part, I definitely understand why calling it “Terrible Twos” would help – because... Read More
