Just a quick update today… Lisa and I are now on Twitter. You can click the button over there on the left (if you’re not on a mobile) to pull up our profile. We have to come up with a better Twitter picture too, I’m getting sick of looking at this mug. Stop by next […]

So far, so good.  The garage is coming along.  Lisa and I spent the better part of an afternoon cleaning up what was mostly my mess in preparation for the drywall contractor.  We divided my stuff into several piles: trash, basement, shed or stays in garage.  I’m not a fan of just moving the mess […]

This was supposed to be a victory post.  I was going to write about how we repainted our front entry door and how awesome it came out.  Didn’t happen.  Instead, this is a mistake/lesson learned post. The background: Lisa had noticed that some people in the blogosphere had been painting the sidelight frames to match […]

Well, I’ve had a busy couple weeks!  Between a grad school midterm and some work travel, I haven’t had much time to blog at all.  I’m pretty confident that we’ll be doing three posts this week though so stay tuned! This past week we started two projects: the garage and the front door.  Both are […]

Just got back from a long work trip and found myself with some rare free time and decided to wrap up the mulch on the last flower bed I added.  It had been a couple weeks or more since the last time i had been over on that side of the house and right away […]

I know.  It’s only September.  It’s not going to snow in Jersey for at least another two or three months!  What gives? So two years ago we lived here… (I can’t find a photo of our old house after all the exterior trim work was done, oh well)  We had all about 20 square feet […]

Since Lisa and I started to assemble the nursery last December, we knew we would probably need a bedside table. We had a little extra space for another piece, so something small and round seemed like the best choice since it would probably be where we rest the lamp and the baby’s angel care monitor. […]

Ever have one of those weekends where you plan to do a couple simple, well planned chores and despite all your efforts, you don’t finish either one?  Well, I had one of those weekends.  I planned to start and finish two projects, the first one, which I’m writing about in this post is the flower […]

So for about the last month, our baby girl has been crawling all over the place.  She’s even walking while keeping her hands on the couches!!  It’s CRAZY!!  At only seven months old now, we’re very proud of our little mover and shaker.  While it’s a ton of fun to chase her around our family […]

As I made my daily cup of Tassimo latte this morning (well, not really daily anymore, more like a once a week treat now; super splurge, I know!), I looked over to our morning room just off the kitchen and I noticed the sun was extraordinarily bright and the light was coming through all the […]
