Around here we have been… FINISHING up football season. Both {L} and {D} finished their fall football programs. Though the game play looked a lot different this year, both boys had fun and were happy to at least be able to participate in the limited capacity that they did. For {D}’s last game, the…
Around here we have been… FINISHING up the last of the outside projects before the cold weather hits. This summer we were super productive with yard work. Looking back it is hard to believe how much our property has changed in such a short period of time! Our front yard grass grew well from…
Around here we have been… CELEBRATING a big milestone birthday for Craig. He’s 40! Not one to like surprises or large gatherings, we promised to keep his day simple. And, instead of him being surprised, we gave the girls a little surprise. Craig put powder in his hair and beard and channeled his inner…
Around here we have been… DECORATING our home. We are slowly bringing in some new pieces here and there. Of course, we continue to be very mindful of which items are added -as not to overfill the space. Angela had the opportunity to work with a company called Mapiful. They create art pieces based off…

Around here we have been… TRYING to prepare for the appraisal and closing of our home. In fact, that is the sole reason why I missed a dedicated Around Here post for March. We were in 100% ‘go mode’ getting the house ready. So many things were finished in the last few weeks. …
Around here, we have been… FINISHING the house. We have until April 8th to get this house project finished up. We feel like we are so close, yet so far away. Still a lot of effort needs to be put in, both from our builder and by ourselves. Each week though, more is being checked…
Around here, we have been… LABORING. On, you guessed it…the house! The completion of one project seems to lead into another, in a seemingly never-ending cycle. We are narrowing down to a firm final construction date, when we need to close our loan. With that date in mind, we are realizing that staying on…
Around here, we have been… WORKING on the house. Day in and day out it seems. There are times Craig no sooner gets home from working at the office than he changes his clothes and starts on his second job – finishing the house. At this point we have finished all of the hardwood…
