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

Christmas Vacation
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! We sure did. The husband and I took the week between Christmas and New Year's off....so we are enjoying a nice little stay-cation right now!

The Family Room….sort of
We've finally made some progress on our family room. New sectional couch, new chair, and new coffee table. We still need to do a few more things, but I thought I'd share what we've done so far!

In the meantime I'm working on ways to cat proof our new furniture. Henry likes to ... Read More
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
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. I bought 5 boxes of LED icicle lights last year after Christmas. Of course they were half price! (I refuse to buy anything Christmas ... Read More
