Working On the Yard
We’ve had three full days of sunshine and no rain! What a remarkable break. So i did what all the Upstaters did this week– scrambled to get my gardening work done before it rains again! We have essentially completed the front section of my Secret Garden. We have finished the concrete walkway, and laid large [...]

I am an organizing FREAK. But with all the stuff we have around here, it’s been hard to organize all my organized stuff, you know what I mean?

Here’s a great cause! It’s GoodSearch.com. I read about it in one of my numerous home magazines. It’s a Yahoo-powered search engine, and every time you use it, the site gives a penny to a non-profit organization of your own choosing. Looks really great! And it’s a great way to give the Google gods a [...]

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger. You can check out my other blogs here.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
