I was browsing my Salvation Army thrift store this morning when I saw this curious looking beverage set. It’s a bargain for $25 if for nothing else than being a great conversation piece. I didn’t buy it but I’ll probably wish that I did. I took these pictures using my phone [...]

Adam and I bought our house in the fall of 2005. After renting for eight years I looked forward to having my own home to decorate. It has been three years and we have still not hung pictures. Ironically, one thing that made this house feel like a home when we first [...]
Until this week were were a healthy household. Paul broke our healthy streak when he woke up coughing on Thursday. I’ve got a stuffy nose and some congestion. But the award for sickest member of the family is Adam who is currently wrapped up in three layers of clothing and his winter [...]
