Lately, every time I thing about my neglected blog I feel guilty. Why? Because I announced I would start posting 3 times a week and since I publicly made that statement, I have done the exact opposite. I haven’t really posted at all. Typical of my blogging journey. Please accept my apologies if you were…

My newest home improvement project…
So despite feeling in the slumps lately I completed a large project which I have been talking about doing for years and it wasn’t until 2 weeks I actually tackled it. What is it you ask? Refinish the dining room table we received as a wedding present 23 years ago and have been using ever…
My Stella…
For those of you who follow me on my personal Facebook you already know, but for everyone else here it is: I got a dog! Or rather our family adopted a rescue miniature poodle mix last Monday. I love Mickey our canary and yes he has been singing a lot but it just wasn’t enough. …
I’m fine, not really!
Of course I’ve missed you all but I am sorry to report the move was worse than I could have ever imagined. Lou and I have never been more physically and or emotionally challenged, as we are right now. We moved in to our new house a week and half ago, and I have just…
We are in escrow!
Once again I have left you in the dark for days at a time but I have lots of valid excuses. The first being that our house went into escrow last week and I have been focusing on getting everything done that needs to be done. Sign and read the offers, the counter offers, disclosure…
I was meant to do this…
I have so many things to update you on but let’s start with what’s on my mind this exact minute. It’s the book I am currently reading, “Carry on, Warrior the power of embracing your messy beautiful life” by Glennon Melton. I received this book as a gift for Mother’s Day from one of my…
Is it a necessity? If not, I’m out…
Have you wondered where I went? Well, I am still here, but hanging on by a thread. I am writing this on Saturday afternoon and it is the first day in 7 days I have sat down at my computer. Why? Because I have been painting and scrubbing my house from top to bottom. It…
Look what I’ve been doing…
This has been my life since Friday night when we decided to put our house back on the market in exactly one week. No, we don’t want to move, but this is life and you don’t always get what you want. Yes, my house looked nice before but do people want green and blue rooms…
Stress, the couch and Tiara strikes again!
So today Tt and I made a video because we were bored and I felt too sick to do much else. She loves to make and watch videos. This one isn’t super great, but whatever, it’s us at home doing what we always do. If you want to watch it, click this link. Right now…
Do you clean when you are stressed?
If you know me well, you can probably guess what I was doing all weekend. Hmmmm, what do I normally do after a really stressful event starts to resolve itself? I paint or I clean. Yep, I cleaned all day Saturday and now I can barely move my arms or shoulders I am so sore….
