My Christmas Present

My Christmas Present

My amazing husband bought me a new car! It's a new Toyota Camry. With gray leather interior. And my favorite part? It has HEATED seats! Keeps my bum nice and warm in this cold weather! The week of Christmas the husband said he thought it was time for me to get a new car. And who can argue with that? We shopped around and then picked it up ... Read More

The old ugly couch I bought for my first apartment. And the window ... Read More

Cat Proof?

Baby it’s cold outside….

Baby it’s cold outside….

Good morning! I hope it's warm where you are because here in Michigan it is FREEZING! The wind chill was zero this morning. Yikes! I've officially added an electric blanket to my Christmas wish list. To make matters worse, last night we didn't have any hot water. And no, I don't live out in the country, so I have no idea what ... Read More

LED Lights Dilemma

LED Lights Dilemma

This is the first year we've put Christmas lights up on our house. I frequently did it growing up (not too hard in California because it's always warm!) but this was the husband's first experience with outdoor lights.
