Gorgeous Goodies at Gemz N Gold
I just LOVE browsing this store, Gemz N Gold. The deals are just phenomenal. I’ve been looking for a new gold chain for my pendant, and saw… THIS! Wowee. That’s a 14-carat gold and natural garnet necklace, on sale for $42.52! It’s drop-dead gorgeous, don’t you think? It has earrings to match, too. You can [...]

Well, you asked for it! More snow photos. I know you people in the South just love to look at these photos. As for us in the North, well…. it’s still really nice. Until Februrary; then it gets pretty old. So what a difference a day makes! This I took yesterday, just as the lake [...]

I have to say, I just love those interactive websites where you can choose various styles, shapes, and colors for things for your home, and test them with your own photo or an automated version. Home design and construction has come such a long way. How about a fancy online Door Designer? This is a [...]

I drove out to the country this morning. We have managed to maintain our mere 1/2 inch of snow over the weekend, but everything went back to brown and muddy after Tuesday’s (relatively) warm rains. But today, as I chugged up into the higher hills, wispy swirls of snow greeted me. It was pretty. The [...]

I’ve been on the prowl for cool lighting gadgets ever since I found and bought the Touch&Glow set (I blogged about that here). I am having waaaay too much fun with lighting gadgets. I’m beginning to wonder about myself… ANYWAY! Who cares! I found ANOTHER really, really cool gadget! This time it was at the [...]

We recently got a beautiful bird feeder. Believe it or not– this is my FIRST bird feeder, ever! I’ve lived at this house for over ten years, and never bothered to get Bird Feeders for the property. Sad, I know. Well, I have redeemed myself and today the kids and I installed our first feeder! [...]

I just love the Home Inspection Nightmares section at This Old House. Wow. For some reason, looking at these photos makes me feel a whole lot better about my house. I am a little paranoid– I’m afraid the government gestpo will come strorming into my house, throwing me in prison for not having my light [...]

If you follow the news, you’ve no doubt heard that the traditional media newpaper outlets are seeing record losses. More and more people are getting their information from the Internet. I am extremely happy to see it, as I believe that there is more freedom on the Internet than in any other media form today. [...]

I’ve been married 20 years, today. Cannot believe how quickly the time has gone by. I’m giving myself the night off from blogging, and most likely from dropping Entrecard cards. So see you all tomorrow! Related Posts:Patiently Working…Sticky Note Fun With LivvyI Am NOT a Dog Person! But…Lounging Livvy

I’m Rebecca
:) 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.
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!
