Yesterday I received this in the mail.
And this is how it made me feel.
In fact that dopey grin will most likely cover my face for at least a week after this unexpected gift from a dear friend – whom I’ve never met. Inside this box was a tightly wrapped loaf of apple bread.
Yeah, that’s right. [...]
So I think I’m going to do it.
NaBloWriMo that is.
I know you are probably as shocked as I am.
“She’s going to write a new post everyday for a month? She barely manages to squeak out one a week.”
First of all – don’t be so rude. Secondly, I’m crazy. Crazy and wanting a challenge – because [...]
It would be a massive understatement to say that we are feeling a bit overwhelmed with all that has been going on lately. Everything is good – nothing to complain about – though somehow I manage to.
If your a Twitter friend you are probably well aware that we have been “in transition”, a.k.a. homeless for [...]

Frugality is not something I excel in. Being a passionate foodie [...]
Many people suggest that the first year of marriage is the hardest (I’ve also heard the seventh is a tough one – we’ll see about that) but I look on that year with great fondness.
My husband and I made it our mission to try nearly every restaurant in Seattle. We kept a notebook about where [...]
It is quite cold here these days. The kind of cold that manages to find its way into your bones so deep inside that the only cure is a long, scalding shower. It is gray too making everything outside a somber, monochromatic tone.
I do enjoy this time of the year with all the excitement of [...]
Gabe and I had the privilege of touring the newest chocolate factory in the country… Theo, located in Seattle, WA.
It was a perfect day to tour a chocolate factory, gray and chilly (let’s be honest… when is a day ever not perfect for a tour of a chocolate factory?) The building, which is right [...]
