Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
Did anyone else think of this episode of the Brady Bunch when you read my post title? “When it’s time to change, you’ve got to rearrange!” Ok, maybe not. I’m a big dork. Remember my big plans to redo my office? Well, I decided to save the money and give my office a new look [...]

I spend an obscene number of hours each week in front of my computer in my home office, so you would think I’d try to make it a less stressful and enjoyable place to spend my time. Well, when we first moved into our new home last fall, that was my plan. But somehow, this [...]

Mal and I were en fuego today! We slept in a little bit, ate breakfast (egg + cheese sandwiches), and then hit the ground running! First stop: Marylou’s for iced coffees. I ordered a Peanut Butter Wonderful with skim milk and no sugar. Per.fect. Back at home, Mal and I got right to work. He [...]

Before their arrival, I spent a lot of time “prettying” our house. Monica and Chandra were our very [...]

Mal ended up feeling sort of sick on his birthday (poor guy), so we decided to celebrate at home. We ordered take-out from Lime Leaf, drank a couple of beers, and worked on a painting project together. I guess you could say we had a paint party! It’s taken several months, but our sun porch (<– [...]

Pretty fancy lamp, huh? Well, it didn’t always look this way. Mal and I found a pair of them in his parents’ barn and they were a total mess. The lamps were covered in a thick layer of dust and cobwebs. And completely not working. They even had bird poop on them. Yes, bird poop. But, despite their [...]

Who knew a can of spray paint had so much potential?!? The other day, I went to town on a couple of spray paint projects around the house. Now, it’s is my favorite tool. (Spray paint is considered a tool, right?) The first project that I tackled was prettying a set of tables that I rescued [...]
