For a couple of years now, I have known that we needed a new computer. Making such a big decision, however, is always quite difficult for me. I analyze everything for countless hours, resulting in tw...

Last weekend, Joshua wanted to visit an architectural and salvage shop in the city to see if we could find some specific pieces for our new home. I was of course thrilled! Neither of us had ever been...
As soon as there is even a hint of fall in the air, I get in the mood to bake. I love making breads, cakes, cookies, etc. Now with the new house...and new kitchen...I have been even more in the mood ...
For some reason, I have longed to move into our first home in the beginning of autumn... It just seemed like the perfect time. Perhaps because it is my favorite season or because it is the season tha...
