Trust Me, I’m Sure
This letter was in our mailbox from Comast/Xfinity/whatever they’re calling themselves today. Why? Because we finally did it. We finally stopped paying Comfinity $200 a month in cable, internet, and phone. Well, we didn’t just stop paying; we cancelled most of our service with them about three weeks ago. And it is FABULOUS! We didn’t [...]
It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
Lenox bride & groom ornament 2008 edition. My first silver bell 2006 edition. My Nana gifts these to the couples in our family every year. It’s one of my favorite traditions. “Our First Married Christmas 2008″ a gift from Tim. Sophia’s first ornament…a pink ballet slipper.
When Good Refrigerators Go Bad
Have you ever had a moment in the middle of the night that you know something doesn’t add up but you’re too tired to force your brain to put the pieces together? That was me last night as I trudged across the hallway to Sophia’s bedroom and back again, twice. (She thinks it’s fun to [...]
Nesting Out of Doors
It’s my understanding that the “nesting” phase of pregnancy is traditional focused on getting the nursery and the house ready for baby. A lot of cleaning and organizing and over all preparation make up this “nesting” phase. But I do so few things in the traditional sense so why I expected this to be any [...]

I feel like such a hippie and an even bigger hippie admitting this to the world but I have decided to try and be a bit “greener”. I think I just heard a collective shriek from the old Republican guard. But I implore you to wait and hear me out! I’m actually not going “greener” [...]

Household Appliances Are My Guilty Pleasure
It’s true. I squealed like a school girl this morning when I saw the Fed Ex truck pull up in front of my house, knowing full well what was being delivered. It was my new vacuum. My Bissell 3290 Pet Hair Eraser Dual Cyclonic Upright Vacuum Cleaner. Phew! Say that ten times fast. I haven’t [...]
The Great Clean Out Has Begun!
So a couple of weeks ago I talked about the clutter that has taken over our home. It is everywhere! A closet, drawers, under beds, shelves, everywhere you look there is clutter. This is going to be the year that we kick the clutter to the curb, literally. It’s not going to be easy, we [...]
When It Rains…
it pours. Or so the old adage goes. Tim has been gone for a good portion of the last four months but it wasn’t until he landed in the sandbox that things have begun to fall apart. I’m wondering if it has something to do with my subconsciously knowing he’s definitely gone and I’m definitely [...]
