  • Dirty thirty.

    Dirty thirty.

    Can I just say that speed cooking is not my thing? It also makes for undercooked rice, grr. But everyone scraped their plates and told me it was delicious

  • Stanley.

    Stanley.

    Which is a lot. I wanted to make it easier for her caregiver to.. well, care for her. I knew I didn’t want another dresser in the room (she already has two and I need more storage than it could provide) but it had to be easily accessible and near her bed. One day I…

    Keeping peace.

    We’re enjoying the residual excitement from the trip and taking it easy this week. We’ll be back with some projects and updates soon. :) Oh, and don’t mind our dust if you happen to notice a few changes around the site as well.

    Pillow Talk.

    Update on the patio: The party went off without a hitch. Actually no, we ran out of food. But, we are family food-based party newbies no more!
