Brunch at Hubbard Park Lodge, tree on top of the station wagon, lights up, chowder in the crock pot, hot chocolate…all we need now is Love Actually. Sit down and shush hubby, it’s going to happen and you’re going to sit here and watch it with me. You got the Packer Game, I get this!…

I’ve been giving Paulie a hard time about last years Laminated Wall Map Christmas present, and of course ramped up the teasing in the last few weeks as the holiday approaches again. This morning I see 7 more packages set out for me! That’s a total of nine now. Wrapped! In two kinds of paper!…

Its a celebratory week here at Kenmore Place—Paulie’s birthday on Saturday, Viv’s fist birthday on Monday! We are having a little get together at the cousins restaurant to celebrate. A little coffee, a little cake, a lot of talking. Just what baby Viv enjoys. Everyone says it goes so fast. It does. At first it…

Paul was out of town for work all week, leaving me alone with baby. He worried if I’d be able to manage on my own, I worried if four days would be enough alone time for me! It was so pleasant to get ready in the morning without tripping over each other. The nights, however,…

Fathers Day part 1 going great! I surprised him with a drop off at the cousins for drinks with his boys and friends –without wife and baby. Stay out late Paulie! Live a little! And let me enjoy the whole bed to myself a little longer. Part 2 tomorrow—sex and pancakes and auto cross. Not…

In true midwestern style, the neighborhood kids were in shirts and flip flops during this early warm spring weekend. We couldn’t stand to spend another day working in the basement on a sunny day, so we tackled the yard. I dug up enough rocks and gravel to fill the freshly repainted flower boxes. Moms old…

Paul made the trek up to Door County yesterday to start the process of getting the trailer ready for the season. We had thought that the Tin Can Cottage would be our big renovation project for the year! Turns out, it may be our refuge from renovation chaos instead. Once we get some work done…

Night three of the Office Nook fast-track renovation — the flooring is going down. There will be paint touch up to do, and shoe molding to replace, but the little room is almost done. The wall paint is Benjamin Moore’s Dark Pewter in Matte finish. The Matte finish is flatter than Flat—the depth of color…
