Even though Lenny and I had a fantastic mini vacation to Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico, there’s no place like home! The weather was absolutely beautiful and the Caribbean Sea was spectacular. We ate lots of fresh, delicious food and met a lot of friendly people. Just wanted to check in and give you a little heads-up as to why you haven’t seen much from

But, the past couple of weeks I have been able to tell myself it doesn’t really matter because in a couple of weeks my Lenny and I will be running away from home to some place warm and wonderful!

I downloaded the “Building a Framework” eBook from Abby Lawson of Just a Girl and Her Blog entitled “Building a Framework” (you can read about it here). I’m not even half-way through the book, I am already feeling inspired. I have so many thoughts and ideas about what I’l like to share with each of you, that sometimes I’m not sure where to begin. I do
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for spring! Actually, I’m ready for summer, but I’ll settle for spring. It’s been a long, cold and snowy winter here in central Ohio. However, today, my dog Remo and I were sitting on our enclosed front porch, basking in the warmth of the sunshine (it was a whopping 50 degrees), when something in the front yard
I am still in the process of getting my blog setup, but I wanted to post my very first official post anyway! I am super excited to be sharing creative projects, DIY projects, recipes, photography tips and family stories. From my family to yours, welcome to our little cottage!
