I’ve been hearing this song several times a week for the last 6 weeks. It’s part of the cool-down routine at my Body + Soul workout classes (love these – click the link to find out if there’s one near you!), and I wanted to share it with you. I love the lyrics and love… Read More After all.
I finished a few little projects this weekend and wanted to share them with you, my lovely readers. Weekend Project #1: Painting and installing an above-the-commode cabinet in hallway bath I found the cabinet at World Market the weekend before. It was originally a dark brown with “whitewash” splotches. In other words, it was a… Read More Little Projects
I think my clothesline is amazing. Yes, that probably sounds silly, but I do. In the photo below, it’s holding 2 “super plus” sizes of laundry (per my washing machine’s measurements) as well as a day’s worth of Jack’s cloth diapers.

I primed the walls and trim yesterday and have my fingers crossed that I’ll be able to apply the first coats of paint tomorrow.

I will be honest with you – gardening and yard work are not my first loves. However, I grew (ha ha, “grew”, get it? bad pun, I know) to appreciate it… Read More Jam Ma’am

I know that the farmers need the rain and I’m very glad we’ve gotten some, but I was hoping for a dry day today so that the roof leak could be repaired. Prayers answered. The roof repairman arrived on time (hooray!) and surveyed… Read More Leaky Roof Update and the Benefits of Lists
It’s been over 3 weeks since my semi-intentional blog break. There were a few moments where I would head in the direction of the computer to work on a post, but then I’d either get distracted en route or sit down and feel exhausted. Too tired to write! We’ve been busy. I think that I… Read More Painting is the worst, and other thoughts on home ownership
