House Projects: The Backyard*
Oh lovelies, I am so tired. I’ve been up since 5:45am, and my book and my bed are screaming my name. However, I promised to give you another house update this week, and I will not disappoint! A little while ago I told you all about our jungle backyard and shared with you The Story of the Sodcutter. We started out with this: And a close up of our beautiful “grass”… By the time that was all done and finished, I was pretty much ready to live happily with a backyard full of dirt. Seriously. However, the Hubster had different ideas… On Monday he called a local nursery and ordered…

Six Months + Six Dresses (4)
It’s dress day!! And I’m even on time this month. Isn’t that splendid? I know I’ve been neglecting you for the past few days–I’m sorry. We’ve been hard at work transforming our back yard of dirt into a backyard of smooth dirt! With grass seed. (I have pictures, don’t you fret.) (Because I know everyone wants to see photos of dirt.) So, this month I tried to give myself a little challenge: find something with colour. My first three dresses were black or mostly black, so I tried to find something completely different. Something fun and light. After searching high and low, I saw a cute little green dress on…

First Email*
I’m blogging tonight to tell you that I will not be blogging tonight. Sort of. I’m tired. We had the craziest day. On a Sunday. Somehow I think that’s not supposed to happen, but amidst the craziness miracles were worked today! Anyway. I just had one thing on my mind that made me chuckle. As I was sending out a billion emails this afternoon, I realized how much my personal email addresses have changed. My personal email now is just my first and last name at gmail.com. Boring. Remember way back when when it was cool to have big long crazy email addresses? Ones where you used your nicknames, or…

Our Quirky House*
Hi lovelies, Thanks for all your kind words regarding my post last night. It’s something I’ve been carrying on my chest for a while and it just felt good to vent and be completely honest about the way I’ve been feeling. In general I think I feel a bit at odds with who I am right now. I’m turning 26 in less than a month, and it just feels… weird. Like I’m not actually old enough to be turning 26. Anyway. A little while ago I mentioned that the Hubster and I live in a “quirky” house, and several of you have wondered what that referred to. Here’s a little…

Looking for Balance*
Balance. I feel like it’s a theme I keep coming back to again and again this year. I honestly don’t know how people do it–find a balance between work and home, self and family, responsibility and recreation. In the past few weeks work has picked up. A lot. With the exception of two sick days and one day without a call, I’ve worked every day since the March Break. Don’t get me wrong, I am thrilled about this. We need the money more than ever, and I’m finally in a really good place with my job. I would say that ninety-five percent of the calls I get are requests to…
