Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
We finally redecorated our living room! When Mal and I were cleaning the house on Sunday afternoon, we were suddenly inspired to rearrange our living room, which, eventually, led to us to wanting to redecorate the whole, darn thing. Hey, when you’re feeling motivated, you might as well act on it, right? Our first stop: [...]

I can’t believe Christmas is already over. It seems like just yesterday I was blogging about how excited I was for the upcoming holiday season. I swear, Christmas comes quicker and quicker every year (despite embracing the sights and sounds earlier and earlier every year). Today, Mal and I spent the majority of the day [...]

On Sunday afternoon, I flipped though a Pottery Barn catalog that I had laying around the house and stumbled upon an image similar to this one: Cute idea for fall decorating, right?

I’m not sure if you noticed the walls in our bedroom from this morning’s post, but there’s nothing on them. For some reason, Mal and I just can’t commit to hanging things on our walls. Of course, we want to decorate, but I guess we’re just afraid of making a bad decision—you know, hanging up [...]

Welcome to my new and improved home office! My not-so-relaxing work space has finally been transformed. It’s been a long-time coming, but it was worth every once of time, money, and effort. START TO FINISH: Pick paint colors. Buy the paint. Clear out office. Spackle and sand. Remove faceplates. Tape off accent wall. Paint. Paint. [...]

Yesterday was rough on the colitis front, but I started to feel a little bit better in the late afternoon, so Mal and I tackled a few projects that we’ve been meaning to do for awhile now. Even though I can’t take part in all of my usual daily activities, I’m thankful I’m able to [...]

Brrrrrr! Check out the wintery scene that I woke up to in our backyard this morning: Ick. Snow. I’m just not a fan. And I like snow even less when it comes to motivating myself to leave the house to exercise. The last thing I wanted to do this morning was venture out into the [...]
