If you know me at all, you know I am a planner. If there research that can be done, spreadsheets that can be made or lists that can be written – my greatest joy will be to do just that. Four or...
Here’s a little (non) secret about me: I am not an amazing chef. I am still learning to even enjoy navigating my kitchen, so most of the time when I do cook, I need convenience and short times. When ...
I should first say that I am not a workout-dvd-type person. I barely make it past the clear wrap on those bad boys (if I get that far… Sorry, Carmen Electra Strip Tease), because the very thoug...
As we begin to wrap up our fourth month with Sir Gizmotto, I’m happy to quickly jot down his progress (so I can cling to it desperately when he regresses, har har!) Bit by bit, he’s becom...
Lately, I’ve become increasingly aware what a good neighborhood we managed to purchase a home in. That isn’t to say there aren’t particular neighbors (i.e. the two houses behind us ...
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about quitting blogging. It sounds strange to even type that, because I love to document my life in writing – I enjoy going back and reading my posts to see what I was...
Life has been so busy and – dare I say, engaging? – as of late, that I tend to forget I have a blog. And when I remember, I tend to feel exactly like this post from one of my favorite blo...
In a better attempt to mark his progress and set-backs, I’m bullet pointing some of little Gizmotto’s acheivements in bullet point fashion! We underwent our first bath around the month # ...
& I am not a big breakfast eater – namely because I start my morning off by pairing coffee with 3 tablespoons of HEAVY CREAM and 2 tablespoons of sugar into a 16 ounce thermos, and all that delig...
I can’t NOT not quote Harry Potter, folks – it’s just not in my blood! The South is finally seeing some much needed rain and it looks like it’ll keep me indoors (far away from...
Me. In Paragraph form. Work is a big stress ball. That should get a lot more heart attack inducing before it gets better. April and I won’t be friends, I suspect. Breathe in, breathe out, remember yo...
Back in 2006, when my boyfriend and I babbled about things like marriage, I didn’t have many “musts” when it came to the ring, outside of the fact I wanted to walk down the aisle wi...
In November 2008, Sean and I purchased our very first house, and we’ve been slowly turning it into a “home” ever since – finding a way to work our tastes (Pottery Barn) into o...
My husband is one of those people who can fall into a deep sleep within seconds of walking anywhere near the bed, and he’s also one of those people who can sleep through anything. He’s ev...
MyBodyGallery.com: A collection of real womens photos, search-able by several factors (height, weight, body shape) to help people get a healthier grasp of what people really look like, and how they c...
I had an easy-peasy 29th birthday by spending the day with Sean doing something other than errands (ah, married life…). We enjoyed ”The Woman in Black” – which made me want to...
I feel like my entire blog could become dedicated to the small, daily updates Gizmo makes toward becoming a “real dog” – but I’m trying to limit myself. Tonight, however, was ...

We’re on day # 5 with Gizmo, and so far, we’re doing alright. We’ve decided to take baby steps and celebrate the little accomplishments. This week? We’re just associating us w...
This weekend we added a third moo to our pack. Gizmo is a 1.5 year old male Cavalier and he’s very special. Gizmo is a puppy mill survivor – that means, alongside being a rescue pup, he...
I am welcoming in the New Year with a sense of determination and optimism. You know, just like every year, and just like everyone else. And I’m armed with a ton of resolutions and plans for life chan...
Lately I feel like I’ve finally had fun things to blog about – and absolutely zero time to do it because of them! The curse of the nerd, I tell you! ::shakes fist:: We – the couple who can barely han...
So. Sean was trying to force me to smell his armpits the other night after I’d made the mistake of snorting and teasing that somebody’s deodorant wasn’t working after sweating our brains out installi...
Recently, a good portion of my time is spent perusing vintage books (particularly pet stories) on Etsy – and these are some of my latest buys! A 1930’s dog-to-the-rescue children’s ...
Sean and I will be away from the world wide webs for a bit as we’ve just begun destroying our home tackling our very first major home renovation project. Wish us luck!
Slowly, but surely, we have been on a kick to turn spaces of our house into a home. When you enter our house, there is a large entry wall that can be seen from most anywhere downstairs – a good...
