That's My Bag, Baby

Well kids, I finally used my sewing machine for something that wasn't made of felt … and required construction and turning inside out and all that sewwy jazz. And that's it … that bag thing up there. And it ain't gonna win awards on design or quality or anything, I don't think it turned out [...]

Bits & Bobs

We tried out this Resolve High Traffic foam in our high-traffic living room where our luvly furry friend contributes his dirt daily. I'll reserve final judgement until I get home today (after the cleaning folks have vacuumed again) but doesn't look like it worked. Boo. It's been so many years since I went thru an [...]

BPOH Final Week – Patios!

Welcome to the final week of Blogger Parade of Homes! This week features our outdoor spaces. Other than our balconies and front yard, which I've already shown, all that remains is our little back yard.

Pregnancy Casserole

OK, so we all know that weird things come along with pregnancy … and for me it's not been cravings so much as aversions. Strong aversions. The biggest one is to veggies. I used to have a spinach salad with lunch almost every day. The thought now repulses me. I used to be able to [...]

Premier Night #1

So tonight's TV lineup contains the first premiers that I really care about … namely The Office and Grey's Anatomy. Of course, in fine serial fashion, both of these great shows left us with white-knuckle cliff-hangers (though I've only had to endure The Office's since Sunday) and I'm very keen to pick up where we [...]
