    I blinked and November was over. My photo roll is now filled with blurry and dark pictures of unidentifiable objects because Junior keeps grabbing my phone and opening the camera app. The house is just about put together. The wood shop is set up again. Things have homes. I’ve made…

    To Do and Do and Do

    The whirlwind continues because now there are house projects. Painting walls, changing out light fixtures, fixing plumbing issues and leaks, and doing some landscaping. But it’s all ours. Oh yeah—also we got our mountains of STUFF. So there’s been unpacking and cleaning and organizing and putting away. Finding homes for…

    A Place to Call Home

    We bought a house! We bought a house! Wow, what a whirlwind. Haven’t even had time to process it yet, but we are here. I would say “moved in” but that’s not totally accurate. We are here with stuff. Our household goods have been chilling in storage down in Florida,…

    A Change of Plans

    You’ll never believe it. We didn’t move to Tennessee. Instead, here we are in beautiful Connecticut! Long, complicated story short, hubby’s job in Tennessee didn’t pan out and he got a new offer which he accepted instead. So after a full month in Michigan, we went East instead of South…

    A Walk in the Woods

    Back at the cabin in Michigan. We thought hubby would be starting his new job in Tennessee, but some HR stuff got messed up and he can’t start for at least two more weeks. So here we are making the most of it. There’s a lot to do! We just…

    A Cabin in the Woods

    Took a break from Florida and went up to Michigan to visit family and do some work on our cabin, which we are getting ready to list on VRBO as a short-term rental. It was awesome to see some family up there and experience springtime coming into bloom. Got to…

    Killing Time Softly

    Made it to Florida, where we’ll be for awhile before heading to Tennessee. The exact length of time is unknown, but we anticipate a month or so. Hopefully shorter, but not counting on it. It’s nice here, and we’ve been out to do a little sight-seeing, but living out of…

    Move Is Imminent

    The movers came and our house is very empty. We had our last pyrography class and we’re beginning to say our good-byes and do our “lasts.” Last time at the little home-based business coffee shop down the street. Last time at the beach. Last time eating oxtails from Rasta Hill.…

    A Fresh Start

    We are moving to Tennessee with two dogs and a baby. It’s over 1300 miles from where we currently live, and not only do we have our entire household of stuff, but we also have all the accoutrements of new parents, plus the supplies, materials, and goods of our side…
