The Blizzard Of 2014
I went to Home Depot yesterday to get some trash bags and noticed almost everyone around me, save myself and the guy carrying a power drill, was buying the same thing: too many bags of salt and shovels that could arm an entire neighborhood. I found myself pondering: Why does someone need more than two…

This Old House
I’m giving myself 20 minutes to update because I only have 20 minutes before another contractor/handyman/plumber shows up to tell us how much money we will have to give him or her in order to fix something. Don’t get me wrong; we knew what we were getting ourselves into when we bought this house. And…

Mom It Down! Homemade Peppercorn Dressing
Forgive me for the long-winded lead-in, feel free to skip this and head straight for the recipe. Cooking has always mystified me. I understand baking. I started baking when I was a kid. Nothing about baking makes me nervous, even making mistakes. But cooking? It’s just hard. I don’t know how people do it well…

Bella and the Build-A-Bear

Pictures Of (A Few Members Of) My Family
TobyJoe. I adore this man. He’s pretty awesome. I am a lucky gal. Emory with a case of S’more face. This kid gets more interesting by the day. The things he comes up with! The things he says! What a creative little person. Every day is more interesting than the next. Sir Hammy Elliot! My…

Herding Dogs
After a ton of research yesterday and this morning, I’ve deduced, what many have already suggested both here and while out walking Bella, that she is part herding dog. More specifically, I believe she is part border collie. Her quirks, behavior at the park, behavior while we’re out walking—the way she acts is very common…
