  • Come have a peek!

    (I took advantage of our clean house to try and get some shots for our listing. This time I shot in raw- why haven’t I been doing that? Wow. The results are dramatic.) Wanna, snoop around our casa? Come on in! And while you’re enjoying our “open house” I’d love suggestions on the staging, photography,…

  • Come, spring, come!

    I’m seriously antsy for spring. Today, it was 40 and sunny and I walked around the yard wishing I could dig, plant, and weed. I can’t stand winter any longer, please Spring- come!

  • Maple Tapping in Burton, OH

    One of my Ohio bucket list items was tapping a maple tree. Today was the day! The small village of Burton had a maple tapping festival today to hit off the season. All who wanted could tap a tree, and watch as it was made into syrup, while enjoying donuts and hot chocolate. The Burton…

  • A jumbled rambling Valentines Day post

    Ready for the oven Today was truly a love-filled day for us. It started out with a relaxed playful morning with Scotland. We jumped on the bed, raced around the house, wrestled while he got dressed, and enjoyed heart-shaped pancakes. Then we went on a walk/run with my besty Claire. She sat down and played…

  • Merry February

    My sister-in-law headed from Boston to Tucson today and I really wish I could have joined her. Around this time of year my body just SCREAMS for sunshine. I’m collecting ways to combat my seasonal defective disorder. Feeding birds is my latest. Fortunately, I have a willing co-conspirator. 

  • Thank you!

    Despite the grumpy post last night, I’m very grateful to all of you for your thoughts and ideas regarding our house. My problem is that I want to implement all of them, and I just don’t have the time, energy, and in some cases money. Soo. . . I’ll do my best, and not let…

  • Mothering

    I dedicated today to intent mothering. In otherwords Scotter was my myside all day today, doing puzzles, playing with trains, switching the laundry, putting away the dishes, going to the art and children’s museum and making dinner. All through dinner prep Scotter stood, on a chair, by my side. He happily chattered on smiling and…

  • Excited

    While away, I found myself stressing about all the details involved with preparing our home to sell. Now, at home, I’ve found myself excited by the prospect of staging my home. Maybe it’s the actress in me, but I love the idea of painting a scene. I’m excited to seek out those finishing touches that…

  • Art Museum: Balloon exhibit

    Scotter and I took advantage of the beautiful 60 degree day yesterday to hit Wade Oval reflection pond and the art museum. We were delighted to see the new attrium that opened a few weeks ago, experience the new balloon exhibit and see the Wari art exhibit. I felt sentimental yesterday, thinking of how much…

  • Happy Halloween!

    Scotland seemed to love his costume. He wore it on two different occassions (Ward party, and Madsen’s party.) We’ll see maybe I’ll take him out once more for our delayed trick-or-treating day. (He actually begged me to let him wear the pants today just for fun.) He got a real kick out of the huge…
