my christmas + new years card
What a weird year. I had “Christmas Card” on my list for literally months. I normally start gathering pictures in early November, sent to the printer by Thanksgiving and cards in the mail shortly after that. I’m so eager to get them in the mail that I put regular stamps on the cards instead of…

seasonal love affair
I’m not sure if peony season came on schedule this year or not, but it did show up and that is frankly all that matters. My peony plants on the South side of the house had such a strong showing in their second year. Very proud of those babes. The only downside is they get…

so it’s been a bit
I haven’t been blogging in quite some time. It is not as though there hasn’t been things to write about either. Plenty of good stuff happening. Perhaps not as many kitchen adventures – but still things to document. Blogging before used to be a healthy combination of a break from my job and a commuting…

my 2019 christmas card
2019 was quite the year. It some ways it was a dumpster fire and in other ways it was wonderful. Obviously the dumpster fire didn’t make the actual Christmas card photo 🙂 But overall, it was a year that was spent mostly outside, wearing leggings, or looking for Lowe’s coupons online. I did come to…

my new christmas ornaments

2019 Intentions – Status Update
I stumbled upon my own 2019 Intentions post last week – and realized I was dropping the ball. So with half the year almost behind us, it seemed like a good time to check-in and see how I was doing across the board. I can say with a great degree of confidence, I am failing…

2019 intentions
I think every person on the internet these days is telling us their resolutions…. and also that they don’t believe in resolutions. For the record, I don’t believe in resolutions either. They feel like things we want to do but never get around to – or they are incredibly prescriptive and set you up to…

2018 Christmas Card = Summer living and loving
Ah yes. Another year, another Christmas card. I struggled with this initially. 2018 was a very different year. Yes, every year is different but when I look back on it… nearly every picture in my phone was of house construction. It was almost as though I didn’t go outside at all – unless it was…

Jeep Girl
I wrote this post originally back in November… but it was stuck in my drafts for quite some time… and now it’s out of my drafts… and that’s a better place for it. Today we said a final farewell to my old faithful Jeep Wrangler. This car has been the only car that I’ve ever…
