Bagels And Daffodils

When we looked at this house on January 12th of this year, we knew it was the one. We had viewed another house earlier in the morning. When we arrived at this house, our realtor spent over 20 minutes attempting to contact the seller's realtor for the lockbox combination. During that time, Lisa and I roamed the 2 fenced in backyards. One big. One small.

Moments Like This...

I took this photo 4 days before we closed on our house. It was a Saturday. Our last weekend in the home we had rented for almost 8 years. Everything aside from the most essential kitchen items were packed. It was a very stressful time, but we got through it. 

A Reminder And A Lil' Inspiration...

We delivered a meal to our elderly neighbor today. Homemade Irish Soup. Fresh made cinnamon swirl bread. Homemade cookies. No, I am not announcing this for a pat on the back.

One. Day. At. A. Time.

Aside from COVID-19 (aka Corona Virus) taking center stage in the news and on social media, there have been other happenings stemming from this nasty and quick spreading virus. At the top of the list is the great toilet paper shortage and empty grocery store shelves. It's obviously a real and growing concern for a lot of people. Understandably so...

Our House Warming Party Was Absolutely Incredible

We want to extend a world of gratitude to those who attended our House Warming party yesterday. We are exceptionally thankful for all of the food, gifts, helping hands, and good cheer. There was a tremendous amount of positive energy flowing throughout our new home.

There Is A Lot Going On And It Has Caught My Attention

A lot has happened over the past couple of days! I sort of mentioned the 2 words we've been hearing over and over and over again during this time. Those 2 words would be "Corona Virus" and "COVID-19." In my Work at Home Dog Mom Life, I have never witnessed a pandemic that has spread so wide and far and caused such pandemonium. 

Wait. What. Is This Really Happening?

On Sunday, I posted this photo on my personal Facebook wall. It's our dining room. Accompanying the photo was a little quip that read, "I've always wanted a separate dining room with a big ol' heavy wood table and chairs, and an old heavy clay produce bowl in the center. When Lisa ran an errand today, she made sure to pick up items to fill the clay bowl. Clementine. Kiwi. Bananas. Mango. Avocado. Total yummy bliss. I'm a happy girl."
