Admittedly, the last 3 months, our diets have been anything but healthy. Anything but homemade. Other than the Thanksgiving day turkey meatball washing-the-dishes-in-the-bathtub attempt, we've been surviving off of microwavable foods and takeout. We finally have some sort of light at the end of ...
4th Quarter Reads
Farming: A Handbook by Wendell Berry: Each time Bryan and I head to Carmichael's Bookstore for anything, I almost always grab a book of poetry by Kentucky's own Wendell Berry. There's something about the movement in his words and the romanticism he displays while describing the smell of soil or the ...
Resolve
I had to laugh at myself that when we walked into 2020, I said that my word for the year would be Contentment. I was happy with my house, my job, my car... And somehow, throughout the year, all of that changed. Well, my car didn't, but B's car did. I was content with all I had. Our home was ...
The Christmas Table
Rather than setting a table of our own this year for the holidays, I have the feeling we'll be ordering in Chinese... Or making something simple at home (grilled cheese and tomato soup?). Instead of leaving you hanging, though, I'm harkening back to 2018 to bring you my favorite Christmas Table. ...
Deck the Halls!
All, just as at Thanksgiving, we're still up to our armpits in construction here at the new house. We're camping out on the second floor, living apartment-like in two bedrooms, and while I wish there were room for a tree and wreaths, ribbon and our brass deer, there's just not. We do have Bobo, ...
Coronado Update
Well, friends, we've made it through another month here at the new house, and in that month, SO MUCH has happened in the world of renovation.
We'll start with the easy: The tree came out on the 16th and 17th of November, and I can't thank Louisville Tree and Landscape enough for making ...
New Tab: City Favorites
Perhaps the worst thing in the world to write about right now is travel. I'm not sure where all of you are, sweet readers, but here in Kentucky, today brings us another round of shut downs. School is back to home full time, offices are supposed to be operating at a third of their capacity, and ...
Kitchen Plans
As I sit typing, the sweet, weird, chemical smell of pipe glue is in the air, and all I hear is saws running as plumbers slice through the surprise plumbing cluster in the kitchen soffit and an electrician carves holes in the den ceiling for can lights. We're full-on running into this remodel, and ...
Black Friday:
Bryan and I are waist-deep in trying to figure out how to live in a house that's about twice the size of our old one. Aside from furniture and wallpaper (and drapes and kitchen cabinets and lighting...), I've been brainstorming what sort of gifts for the home I would love to receive- or give!- this ...
