There’s something about becoming a mother (and to a degree a father) that changes your perception about socially acceptable topics of conversation. Subjects that were once faux pas suddenly become fair game during a casual afternoon lunch with people you’ve barely met. For the mother, this shift is nearly imperceptible and it’s hard to remember [...]
The weather here is feeling so fall-like which makes daily life at our house so much more pleasant. Add to that the fact that my cold is ebbing and I’m safely into my 2nd trimester and suddenly I feel like doing things again. It’s a wonderful feeling and likely means more blog posts than you’ve [...]
One of the joys of a second pregnancy is that you show sooner, which is super for me because my body isn’t very good at hiding secrets in the first place. Right now I’m only 12 weeks and some change and to people that know me at all I’m visibly pregnant. (Especially by the end [...]

We have big plans for how to lighten this room up and add color, but that will come (as many other things) with time. The plants are orchids that I have my fingers crossed will bloom again and [...]
A manly piece of art made mostly from random things around the house. Maybe I should put it over the door to the garage. Kind of like a green version of “Remember Who You Are.” Break Free!
It’s been awhile, but let’s talk about some green things. Here are some things that we’ve discovered or acquired that save on money and help put a green conscience at ease.
Oil Pump Sprayer instead of cooking spray – We have a Misto that we have loved until the pump recently stopped working. Life [...]
My parents are practically the original DIY gurus. I wish I could say I have the same skill in craftsmanship and eye for detail as my parents (95% of the things they’ve created are completely indistinguishable as being homemade), but currently I don’t. Perhaps I’ll get better at it with time. Also, my parents did [...]
