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. [...]

Not everyone can have a Bobi mailbox, you know. Bobi mailboxes are very cool— very sleek, classy boxes that can be hung on the side of the wall, or inserted into the ground as a stand-up box. They are best for urban areas (they’d get blown over or smothered with snow from our monster Upstate [...]

I love to look at remuddling projects. I like to see how insane ingenious and inventive people can be. Plus, it gives me great satisfaction that my rickety old 1855 house isn’t half as bad. Even though we have no electricity for half the house and leaky plumbing and pockmarks and holes in the plaster [...]

Yeehaw. And I thought I was busy BEFORE I started working full-time. Just in case you didn’t know, WAHM means “Work at Home Mom.” That’s me. Besides pro-blogging, I’ve also got a freelancing gig that keeps me hopping. Not to mention the laundry that goes on to ad infinitum, the dishes, the cooking, oh yeah [...]

more animals You know it’s going to be “one of those days” when you’re on the phone, making a VERY IMPORTANT phone call looking for employment, and the cat decides to choose THIS moment and THIS room to hack up her hairball. Yep. So I’m on the phone, exchanging pleasantries with the secretary, and Livvy [...]

:) 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!
