Getting Ready For Guests

February 1, 2012

My husband and I have a long-standing tradition — we wait until we know we have houseguests coming and then we scramble to finally do all those pesky honey-dos. I swear, if no one ever visited us, our house would still look like it did when we moved in eight years ago. In other words, [...]

Papa Can You Hear Me?

January 30, 2012

Returning to the Scene of the Crime

January 16, 2012

You guys, I realized today that I’ve yet to share my mega-accomplishment that occurred over the holidays. I mean, I know you need to know absolutely everything that happens to me, so I can’t believe I forgot to share this story. Blame it on the eggnog. As you may recall, E. and I went to [...]
