Can Lady
After moving to Ludington, Michigan we had a bunch of friends and family over to help paint a few rooms in the house we currently rent. As a thank you we bought everyone beer and pizza for dinner after we finished. After most people had left that I night, I distinctly remember cleaning up, separating [...]

Good As New: Greenhouse
I’ve been dreaming in green all week. And those dreams have been vacationing to these re-purposed greenhouses. It snowed here in last night. No surprise. As I lay in bed this morning, I was thinking how lovely it would be to get up, throw on sweats and a pair comfy boots, and go play in [...]

Reading Together: My Garden
In effort to brighten up the drab and gray February day, we’ve been reading My Garden by Kevin Henkes. I’ve always been a fan of Henkes and when I first came across this book last year, LBD was merely a burgeoning bump in my belly. Nonetheless, I knew it would be a story I’d share [...]

Pea and Poo
My baby bird. Every time she sees a spoon her tilts her head up and opens her mouth. Wide. Except if there happens to be peas on the end of the spoon. Then she suddenly develops lockjaw.

Old School
I had to drive to Manistee (only 35 minutes north of Ludington) on Wednesday and this old schoolhouse-turned-antique-shop-now-vacant-building caught my eye. And then when I was driving back down the same road to go home I noticed the FOR SALE sign on the steps. Yes, please! Will and I always talk about turning an old [...]

Sweet Potato Black Bean Burritos
I saw this vegetarian burrito recipe a couple weeks ago and thought the sweet potato and black bean duo would make a delicious dinner. I didn’t make it sooner because the recipe noted that it takes a total of 80 minutes to make. This wouldn’t have been a problem pre-baby, but these days by the [...]

Good As New: Serving Trays
The lease on our house is up in April, so we will be moving. Again. Which means no projects for me for awhile. But even though I don’t have any future home improvement tasks, I’m always on the hunt for ideas when we eventually settle down in a home. I’m hoping this will be sooner [...]

Family Excursion
Over the weekend, we made the trip from Ludington to Chicago (a 5-6 hour drive with baby) to visit a few of my relatives. Most of whom I’ve seen recently and a few I haven’t seen in 6 years plus. Oh, and the fun we had! We stayed at my Aunt Carol (my mom’s sister) [...]

On The Road
Will, Lorelei, and I are going on a little road trip this weekend to visit my relatives in Chicago. We’re leaving this evening and coming back Sunday afternoon. Short trip, right? Well, someone (I’m not going to name any names) regardless of how small she is, and the brevity of the excursion, has packed what [...]
