One thing I get anxious over is that 4:00 hour when I haven’t a clue what we are having for dinner. So, for a while now I have been planning out our weekly meals so that I know what to expect each day. Sundays are usually my planning days so that I am ready to […]
The ceilings in our dining room are tall. Actually, the area we are using as a dining room has tall ceilings. The previous owners used this room as a sitting room. But it is connected to our kitchen and we hated the thought that the room would only be sort-of used (Do people use sitting […]
During our whole married life we have never had a dining room table. We just wanted to wait until we were in our permanent home before deciding on something that may or may not work elsewhere. So, now that we have been in our new home for just over a month one of the first […]

Since we have become a family of four we have done family Halloween costumes. It all started with Gwyn’s obsession with Goldilocks and the three bears, and when I came across her costume, that one was a given. Not knowing what Cal should be, I came across this matching little bear costume and thus, the […]
