Happy Anniversary. Now Lets Build a Wall!

October 17, 2018October 17, 2018 / Sarah M. / Leave a comment

Two weekends ago B and I celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary! 🙂 That sounds like such a small amount of time, but in that year, we've moved twice, dealt with unemployment and new jobs, bought a house, and a slew of other day-to-day stuff. Its been a busy year! We celebrated with brunch (ok, breakfast) … Continue reading Happy Anniversary. Now Lets Build a Wall!

Status Update: Exhausted

September 18, 2018 / Sarah M. / Leave a comment

Its gloomy and rainy today, and I wish so much that I was home, sitting in our living room that is all windows and no television, sipping coffee and reading a book. But I'm not. One day I will be, but not yet. We've been so busy lately, between travel and projects and work. Too … Continue reading Status Update: Exhausted

An Update On Our Home Internet Break

August 7, 2018August 7, 2018 / Sarah M. / Leave a comment

We're into our third month of not having internet at home, aside from minimal data on our cell phones, so I thought it may be time for an update! We never really intended to do an internet break. We weren't trying to be super super frugal or reset any bad habits (though we've done both). … Continue reading An Update On Our Home Internet Break

You read that right. We don't have internet at home right now. By choice. For a few reasons: An experiment and a challenge: We mostly use the internet to look up cat videos and other useless stuff. And B and I like a challenge, so we thought we'd see if we could go the summer … Continue reading Why We Don’t Have Internet At Home

Ceiling Fan Masters!

June 27, 2018June 27, 2018 / Sarah M. / Leave a comment

We are MASTERS of installing ceiling fans. Masters. Two weekends ago, it was hotter than the gates of hell. Mid to high 90's and humid. Our poor little AC unit in the bedroom absolutely could not keep up. We were lucky the basement stayed as cool as it did. But anyway, back to the fans. … Continue reading Ceiling Fan Masters!

Against the Clock: Ceiling Edition

June 22, 2018 / Sarah M. / Leave a comment

One thing we're learning, and frankly should have learned by now after our hardwork-a-thon last summer at the cabin is that everything takes longer than you think, or than it should. And that frustrates me. I am always over ambitious with the weekend project planning. I don't mean to be. But when you sit in … Continue reading Against the Clock: Ceiling Edition
