Make Your Lamp a Touch Lamp
I found the absolutely COOLEST thing at the home improvement store last week! I am still congratulating myself for finding it. I was looking for a lamp to replace the bad one in our bathroom (YES we have a floor lamp in our bathroom, because we still have no electricity for the room yet! I’m [...]

She’s growing so fast! She’s losing her baby fuzz, getting razor-sharp teeth (chewing on everything), and developing the long and slender Siamese physique. She can also plop down and sleep anywhere. Waking up. She looks good in pink. Related Posts:Find the Kitty Friday 9/9Sticky Note Fun With LivvyDoing the HomeworkFind the Kitty Friday: 2/11

Every year, hundreds to thousands of homeowners get ripped off by unscrupulous contractors. New York State’s attorney general has compiled a database of hoodlums and crooks who have been reported by homeowners.

28. September 2008
So it has a name. The thing I’ve been slowly attempting to do for the past 5-6 years. It’s called “suburban homesteading”! Yeehaw, I have a name! I found this terrific blog, The Little House in the Suburbs, and found someone else who is doing everything I want to do. What a great blog! But [...]

24. September 2008
I saw this neat little gadget at HipCompass. It’s a handheld water sterilizer, called the “SteriPEN Adventurer Handheld Water Purifier.” When swished around in a glass of dirty water, it’s supposed to destroy the DNA of nasty microbes. It uses ultraviolet light to do so. Interesting! I don’t know if I’d be so brave as [...]

24. September 2008
“Anyone who can read, can cook,” my mother used to say. She had the best cookbooks, too. So I’m always on the prowl for good recipes. Because my family is getting tired of Baked Ziti and Tuna Casserole, lol. I did a stint with Mexican recipes for a while (always popular in the summertime), but [...]

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!
