Hey Guys! Hope you have all been doing well. I've been doing great over here. I've been eagerly awaiting the beginning of our kitchen remodel and half bath/mudroom addition. It's started in early May (apprx 6 weeks ago) and it's slow going, so I've been taking a lot of snap shots as the days roll on to share here, and make time flash forward in blog minutes. To remind you, this whole project is set to wrap up the last week of October 2022. We are adding on to the back of the house which will allow us to take make our current kitchen/pantry/mudroom into one large kitchen and the new addition will allow space for a mudroom, coat closet and half bath! Outside we'll be adding a new stoop, walkways and patios. We are stoked! READ MOREHey Guys! Hope you have all been doing well. I've been doing great over here.

Then, after a champagne fueled morning, we decided we needed a project so our weekend mornings wouldn't be entirely filled with just drinking champ. READ MORE
Well folks, I've been struggling with how to start my first blog post in awhile and I decided that maybe a recap is the right thing to do. As I am sure many you have experienced the ebbs and flow of this pandemic and what it doing to all of us mentally. For me, it's easy to become overwhelmed by anxiety or depression and I've been struggling with that a lot since March, as I'm sure many of us have. I've also struggled to find my drive to be creative. READ MORE
So, I felt like it was time to pop in and say, "Hi.” I haven’t posted much in the last several weeks because it hasn’t felt right. There’s been so many important things happening in the country and community that it felt trivial to post anything at all....
