Especially one that was originally built in 1910… and I don’t want to expand the footprint. Changing the footprint means needing to ask for permission and I’d like to avoid talking to anyone about permission…
I think I’m currently at month ten of living in the suburbs. Give or take. Through a variety of circumstances I’ve recently had the opportunity to think about this decision more. I switched onto a new project at work and when people find out that my commute is 90 minutes long … each way… the…
Like any big project, I’ve been delaying the things that are hard and nebulous. But the way to tackle things that are big are to make them smaller. In this specific case, I’m going to make a case for the things that I care about the most… and then slowly work my way through them.…

I honestly would have thought the day would have happened already… but alas, no ripe tomatoes… HOWEVER, we are close! I’m reluctant to call us halfway through Summer because that would be depressing to me.…
One of the best parts about living in the burbs is just how much outdoor time you can really have. This does potentially lead to many many trips to Lowes but it also leads to sun-kissed cheeks and slightly blonder hair. While I clearly love my whole garden, I think one of the best parts…
