Neil and I hope you have a great holiday weekend (about time for a 3-day weekend don’t you think?) and we’ll be back Tuesday after our food-filled respite. My best friend Rachel is coming to town with her boyfriend Luke and puppy Jake, so we’ll have a full house and lots of puppy play date [...]

Yup. Beer. We’ve had a pretty crazy week complete with work, new freelance projects and trying to prepare our house (and the cats) for another puppy visitor this weekend. Once we dig out I’d like to actually post a few of the things we’ve been working on. But for now, here is our art from [...]

I remember vividly the first time I had pesto. I was eleven and my friend’s mother prepared it for dinner at a sleepover. They were different than other parents in our neighborhood. They had a wine cellar  and a tangine and regularly attended the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra. The pesto was from the cities, and came [...]

I don’t have to go in to how much Neil and I love stir fry again do I? I also love Pad Thai, so to attempt a middle ground, we tried a new stir fry sauce last night, something to give it a little more peanut flavor without being over the top. The result was [...]

If Neil and I have learned one thing in our twenties it’s that saving money is a lifestyle. Making sacrifices every day on a greater scale is about making life choices about the things that really matter. In the world of blogs, money swirls everywhere. It’s in the huge amounts of advertising, products, sponsorships and [...]

Ever have a craving for something that you know is not healthy for you? For me, sometimes that craving comes in the morning and the only fix is Biscuits and Gravy! Over the years, I’ve found that restaurant B&G is always hit or miss. It’s always either really good or really terrible, and there is [...]

This is the scene we walked in to find Friday evening after work. Clive had massacred his favorite toy across the entryway, ripping the monkey’s poor little eyes from his head. He was so proud of himself it was to cute not to capture with my phone.

Cookies a la Neil

Neil baked me cookies!? We’ve both been working really hard lately, and we finally pooped out on the couch the other night after dinner. He woke up before me and was in the kitchen for a while and told me he was “making me something.” Several minutes later, he popped into the living room with [...]

Now that our basement is clean I have it in my head to finally create a little corner for myself. I’m absolutely loving See Saw Design’s simple space with colorful accents and a clippings wall made from chicken wire.
