So…I know it’s been a while, so I figured I would post SOMETHING.  I’m still in the process of upgrading our kitchen, and it’s a slow and steady process…but we’re getting there.  Here’s the before post, painted cabinets post, chevron wall post, and backsplash post. […]

Welcome back to CHOPPED Thursdays!!! I realize in my last post about CHOPPED Thursdays, I explained the next lineup.  It was originally supposed to be me, but plans changed, so I got bumped to the last chef in the 4 chef line-up. Greg is the […]

Let’s start this post buy saying that I follow Bower Power and Young House Love.  They are two of my favorite blogs that I love to get new ideas from, and both blogs gave me the courage to start my own. Young House Love and […]

Tonight was a pretty relaxing night….you know after the hour and half of traffic I went through on my way home from work…all for no other reason besides the fact that people don’t know how to merge.  Hate it.  If you’re from Jersey, you know […]

Greg and I spent the weekend with a whole bunch of our friends up at Mohonk Mountain Reserve.  It was a camping trip that was auctioned off for the Reserve’s benefit (they’re a non-profit organization, so they could really use the help).  We left at […]
