How was your holiday weekend? Ours was bittersweet as we had to say good-bye to our one and only Earl the Pug last Friday. This was painful. Utterly painful.

As I mentioned late […] Read more…
We’re back after a busy weekend that started at my sister and brother-in-law’s new house, helping them unpack, and ended at the farm for Easter. I’m not going to lie. We got home at 5 pm tonight and I was in my pajamas in something like 15 minutes. It definitely was a fun weekend all around. […] Read more…
I find myself sitting in our porch tonight under two of the most unlikely scenarios: The window is open on this crazy beautiful – warm! – March evening. I am all by myself. Well, not counting Earl the pug, who is snoring at my feet. But there is no Teacher Man or Joe Man here […] Read more…
