The past five weeks have gone by in a flash. It’s amazing to me just how much time each day is spent taking care of this little one. Truly, from the time I wake up until I go to bed my world revolves around this baby. Which is why I’m glad that before he arrived, [...]

We live in a tiny, tiny house. But we’re also very fortunate we have a second bedroom in this tiny house which, up until now, has been used as a guest room. Actually, it’s been a lot more than that – it’s been home to my cat, and then our dog, and even to [...]

A few days ago I was at home waiting for our crib to be delivered when I received a box in the mail. It was super heavy and at first I wasn’t sure who had sent it. The label merely said, “enjoy reading” and had a name that I didn’t recognize. I stared at it [...]

Everyone’s tastes vary so differently when it comes to art. Knowing this, I am amazed that the CPA and I have any art work in our house at all. He tends to go for traditional pieces while I often choose art based on the room in which it is going to be displayed. Normally we [...]

My evening last night was what you might call less than productive. I finished up with work, got some dinner and made my way home around 6:30. By 7:00, I was lost in the world of first-time property owners and decorating on a dime. I don’t usually watch a lot of live TV but for some [...]

The more the CPA and I talk about starting a family, the more we think about our house and how it will work with our plans. While it’s premature to design a nursery, of course, I couldn’t help but think about it the other day as we were sitting in our spare bedroom. I casually [...]

This week I’ve been dogwalking for one of my favorite clients. They’re one of my favorites because number one, the dogs (two black labs) are adorably sweet and are just great dogs. And number two, they live in a fantastic location. All of the houses have beautiful, landscaped lawns and are surrounded by towering trees. [...]

When we bought our house almost two years ago, we had a finite amount of money that we had alloted for home decorating. It was to be used for little things like paint, wall hangings, and somewhat important items like, oh I don’t know, furniture. The problem was, we basically had a whole house to [...]
