My cousin Alyssa referred me to a great blog, written by a woman facing similar issues as I with regards to infertility. I found it very comforting to read some of the things she has gone through and how she is able to cope.Many people don't know what to say, so they either say nothing, or they say something very hurtful without even knowing it. Below is an excerpt from her blog. I found it to be ... [ Read More ]
Indeed a LAB
There was a period of time that we thought our boy Reuben might be part Chesapeake, based on his course, light colored, somewhat curly hair. We entertained this idea, right up until Reuben started looking like this.It was at this point we realized it's just his nasty winter hair falling out... only to reveal a very shiny, chocolate lab coat under all the nastiness.But until then, he looks ...

It’s about time
Tonight, we're enjoying the relaxing beauty of our homestead as well as the beginning of a 3-day-weekend. It feels amazing just to take a deep breath and know that, for the next 3 days, I don't have to book appointments for vasectomies, feed horses in the pouring rain, or sleep on a couch in a strange house counting how many times an elderly man uses the toilet in an hour. ...

Infested
I'm not sure what is attracting them, but a plague of June Bugs has taken over our garage and the general surrounding area. Typically bugs don't bother me (exception: CRICKETS... but that's another story for another day) but these massive beetles are everywhere! They buzz past your ears, get stuck in your hair... and they love Reuben's water bowl.Hope you're not eating. ... [ Read More ]
Heather’s Backsplash
Now that we're painting so many backsplashes these days, I have every intention of being more selective about which ones I blog about. I don't want to bore ya'll!!But I had to share Heather's backsplash. It was a tough decision for them, with so many color options to choose from, but they opted for this fun tumbled travertine look... and I'm glad they did!Painting backsplashes are very ...

Blew the Budget
I've decided to start a series of blog postings about my favorite things! Though Nick and I are careful with our pennies, I find myself noticing things around the house that I absolutely LOVE, and feel the need to share with my loyal blog followers.Nick and I have an unofficial collection of mugs, most of which are obnoxious Christmas mugs. But my favorite mug of all is this adorable orangey leafy ... [ Read More ]
Wine Headboard
We just finished crafting this sweet wine headboard. Because of the upholstery tacks, it took far longer than we planned, but felt the results were well worth it! ... [ Read More ]
A Very Colorful Post
Today, May 19th, is my man-boy's 28th birthday. I secretly took a half day at work in the interest of planning the festivities of the evening. Due to the fact that it's the middle of the week, said festivities are to include: birthday cake, presents, and me wearing something scandalous.Did I say that out loud?I baked this fun non-manly rainbow cake. The reason being... well I just really have ... [ Read More ]
Sarah’s Backsplash
Every other weekend, Nick and I have a day off together. And as of late, we've been spending it painting backsplashes... which is not only fun and rewarding, it's also helping us build our Fertility Fund at an astonishing rate. My cousin Sarah asked if we could come do our 'magic' in her kitchen, and we were delighted!Sarah requested neutral beigey browns to compliment her red accents and ... [ Read More ]
Nesting
My sis gave me this sweet decorative birdhouse that she crafted on her own! A family of sparrows has taken up residence, and we've enjoyed watching them bring twigs and leaves to build their nest and prepare their home for a family. That is, assuming nature gives them that 'privilege.'My mom contributed the sweet paint can flower pots, and Nick attached the tacky thermometer.These goldfinches ... [ Read More ]
