We are living in the house, people! Living in the house! This is real. I have to be honest, its pretty exciting. I mean, there's boxes and piles everywhere, and I can't find anything whether it be food or underwear, but still. Its exciting. Its the first time I've lived in a house since I … Continue reading We’re In!

How Not to Move a Refrigerator
How to (or not to) move a refrigerator, by me. Google "how to move a refrigerator in a pickup truck". Go ahead, I'll wait. Are you back? Quite a wide range of opinions. And yes, in a perfect world we would have rented a lift and an appliance dolly and yadda yadda and stood the … Continue reading How Not to Move a Refrigerator
Against the Clock: Ceiling Edition
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
The House Buying Process: Closing
After a long and annoying process, we finally closed on our house last month. To be honest, it was a bit of a letdown. Everyone is like "OMG closing takes forever" yadda yadda. But we were in and out in 30 minutes. The title agent and the seller were old friends so the just chatted … Continue reading The House Buying Process: Closing

After 3 moves in very … Continue reading We’ve Moved (again!)

Exploring MKE: the brew crew.
We went to our first Milwaukee Brewers game last week! I’m a baseball fan, but its not really B's thing. I even played in a casual little softball league in NYC (hint: I was terrible!!). Its one of the few things we don’t see eye-to-eye on! But he’s sweet and he loves me so he … Continue reading Exploring MKE: the brew crew.
I’m Loving: spring things
Are you dying for spring? I am. Maybe you’re lucky and already have it. We had a flash of it on Sunday and now its all I can think about. So, here are some Spring Things on my mind as I wait for this weather to warm up. Mason Jar Twinkle Lights … I saw … Continue reading I’m Loving: spring things
The Short (and long) of It.
We’re moving to Wisconsin. That’s the short version. The longer version is that, after 5 and 7 years in New York City (5 for me, 7 for B), we’re worn out. Tired of the constant, daily fight of this beautiful, exhausting, emotional concrete jungle. The City was amazing. It built a career for both of … Continue reading The Short (and long) of It.
