After a lot of lost sleep, too many trips down to the basement, and paint fume & heat delirium … here are the staged house photos we gave to our agent today to include in our house listing. We could never have gotten these shots without the aid of the most awesome photographer & friend [...]

Last night was quite eventful … While Jay was out in the garage building the closet doors for our bedroom, I was inside painting our kitchen ceiling and getting totally sick from the paint fumes. Neither project got totally finished, but hopefully will see completion tonight after work. I’ll have to remember to open windows [...]

How two days off can fly by so quickly while those same two days in the office can drag on two eternities is beyond me.
We are currently sitting in a bit of a traffic jam trying to get out of the Home Depot where they just evacuated the entire store. Luckily for [...]

Here’s the latest bridal shower cake that was made for a co-worker. She wanted to replicate the design on plates they were using at the shower, thus the “bridal shower girls” on the gifts chocolate plate design. The actual cake was comprised of one layer of yellow cake and one layer of devil’s food cake, [...]

So much technology, so little time. Or …has technology bought me some time? This past weekend I seriously treated myself and bought a new easily pocketable digital camera and an iMac. I throughly blame my new iPhone for the splurge. Why? It took this newest tech gadget to make me realize how antiquated [...]

As they get out of the car at the top of the driveway, he asks, “So how does it feel?”
“I don’t want to say …” she replies, knowing in her heart of hearts it feels like they just came home. It’s almost too good to be true that the house has waited this long [...]
