Sticky Note Fun With Livvy
Most of the time I tolerate Livvy’s antics pretty well. She has this very bad habit of climbing up on my desk and planting her big Siamese butt in front of my monitor. She then presses her wet nose on the screen– or even licks it!– so the monitor is speckled with slimy cat snot. [...]

It’s Monday, I’ve got a lot of work to do and there’s a lot of it so I’m in a hurry, and what happens to me?? SHE DOES. How can I resist that? She just wants to lounge around. She’s been very clinging lately. Follows me everywhere. I’m not sure why she’s doing it. Sure, [...]

…in the snow. Here’s the “snowpow” coming through… ha! The boys like to play King of the Hill, where the opposing forces duke it out on top of the mountain, to see which one is worthy of the honor of securing his address plaque to the mount…. We made some videos, too, but I’m too [...]

I’m very impressed with the iPhone camera. Livvy, not so much. Hey. Hey! What’s that? Lemme see. *sniff* New case smells like baby clothing? I don’t like it. Probably has flash. Turn it off. Humph. *ignore* Related Posts:Sticky Note Fun With LivvyLounging LivvyOpen Spaces: Playing Ball with LivvyFind the Kitty Friday 4/9

When I had installed the flooring for both the kitchen and the dining room (but before we moved the rugs and furniture and thoughts of contemporary sofas back in to the room), it created a very long, smooth surface. We had a lot of fun soaring across the back end of the house– 40 feet [...]

… 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 [...]

…came true! A little background: We are a family of six. For over a year, I babysat several kids, making it TEN people to cook for, and to clean for. Imagine the humungous stacks of dishes we had to wash every single day. We couldn’t renovate the kitchen at that time, and there was no [...]

:) 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!
