I Am NOT a Dog Person! But…
This is one of my daughter’s Yorkies (well, “Morkies.” They are a Yorkshire and Maltese mix). Isn’t he adorable?!?!?! His name is Cricket, or “Cricket Bug” as we affectionately call him. The picture is a little fuzzy because he is pausing mid-motion for a split second. Whew, these critters move fast. We let them out [...]

… that’s one of my daughters. I don’t know what I’d do without these kids. She worked all day, painting the trim in the dining room, so that I could work on my writing assignments (and boy, did I have a ton of them). The other daughter cooked and cleaned… and the boys helped with [...]

Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Two of our kids got Oral B electric toothbrushes and we’ve been testing them out for quite a while. You can read about my review on the Oral B Triumph (which is AMAZING, really!) here.

I’ve been interviewed by a realtor in Cleveland, Ohio, Cecilia Sherrard! She runs the You Should Own website. You can go to the site and read the interview here.

:) 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!
