Time for a Change Part 2
Following my post about the demolition of the stairs, we got to work on making them look new and nice. Here’s how they turned out… A bit of an improvement, don’t you think? (Check back on the old post for a before-after comparison if you’re not sure…!!) Now, stay tuned for another fun home update coming [...]
101 in 1001
Well, day 700 has come and gone in my 101 in 1001 project. I’ve finished about 63% of what I set out to do, so there is plenty of work still to go. I’ve finished over 80% of my friendship goals but less than 40% of my hobby goals. At least it is like that, [...]

Gifts
We’ve had the opportunity to help both Nathan and Katya select gifts for family members this year. It is fun to see what they choose (and to wonder sometimes why they chose it…) Katya has enjoyed helping wrap her gifts too, and even tried to write the names on the packages. I think she did a surprisingly good [...]
Little Girl Project
Sometimes I just shake my head and smile, knowing I have a little girl. There are lots of fun things about that!! (Important to remember, because there are plenty of challenging things too…) Anyway, this is a fun project that I got to do just because I have a little girl and I knew she [...]
Grateful for Fall
Than spearheaded redecorating the house for fall, and I love it! The rich warm autumn colors blend well with our existing furnishings and when the weather starts to turn cold it is great to feel cozy indoors. Check it out… a little bit of vinyl art–I love it! (a new font that I’ve never used [...]
