About two months ago, we decided to try our luck at this dismal economy & put our house on the market. No real pressure, but just to see if it would sell so that we could move in closer to our jobs & therefore steal back another hour & a half out of our day [...]

Is hostessing even a word? I don’t think so. But I love it! A little over a week ago, I won this DARLING apron off another website – I know, right?! I won! I never win anything! I love hosting parties. I host an EPIC Tacky Sweater/Cookie Exchange Christmas party every year for my girlfriends, [...]

If you’re a Facebook buddy, then you know the angst that has been my own workspace. I’ve spent the past two years blogging from a wee ladder desk & about a month ago, as I was balancing my journal, planner, tea, Mac, & iPod, Nate said, “Babe, I think we need to get you a [...]

I took a personal day today. & anyone who knows me will tell you THAT I NEEDED IT. You know those moments where you know if you don’t STOP, that you’re going to be sick? Not sick in the head. Because crazy isn’t contagious. But if you don’t slow down & rest, you’re going to [...]

We were pretty much the quintessential Renaissance family this weekend. Doing everything, learning everything. & I think I can speak for all three of us when I say…WE ARE EXHAUSTED! One of us learned how to stand. Two of us learned how to garden. & we learned that with the right paint, we actually enjoy [...]

Once upon a time, @MomNom, @jennandtonica, @emmie_bee, @heirtoblair, and @ColeEmmett were talking about home decor on Twitter. We thought it would be so great to be able to see each other’s homes! A *bunch* of other tweeps joined in, @Alena29 put together a terrific button, and #twitterhometour (or #twitterhouseparty) was born! Feel free to join [...]

After two months of preparation, we finally celebrated The Momma’s party on a sunny day with no snow to thwart travel! Her girlfriends came from all over & we had a fantastic morning celebrating one hell of a woman.

The other night, I told Nate that the way he feels about sex is how I feel about housework. It’s crucial to my survival, it helps me feel sane & I feel like I HAVE TO HAVE IT DONE at least once per week or I will explode. & I’d prefer not to do it [...]
