Our maple tree is aflame but my living room is not.

Don’t you love fall?
You were all (all four of you, thanks for playing) good guesses. I didn’t really give you much to work with.
Since I’ve been thinking about it for well over a year, I’ve considered a whole range of colors for the living room and front hall. It’s a very open floor plan (you [...]

Bored? Too much time on your hands?

So, Nocturnal Queen gave me a bloggy award! How fun is that?
The rules are that you’re supposed to post about it and then you’re supposed to award Fifteen! more blogs that you discovered recently and then you can see where this is going.
So I thought I’d change the rules a little and give you some [...]

Why pay someone when you can do it yourself?

(One half of a phone conversation)
(Overheard)
(in my head)
“So, what was the quote from that kitchen designer?”
“No, the one for the big apartment complex account.”

“Are you kidding me? That’s outrageous! How hard is it to design a kitchen? Like that’s real work.”

“Oh, I know. Must be nice to make that kind of money.”

“You know what? It [...]

I just don’t understand it

Molly’s favorite spot in the house seems to be parked under the baby’s highchair.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I just can’t imagine the appeal of being pelted with rice and various other half-chewed foods throughout the meal.
Who in their right mind would put up with that?
 
(As an aside, has anyone else noticed that Felicity’s hair [...]

This could’ve been 7 different posts

But then you probably wouldn’t be reading this.
1) Mr. French is a year older (in March, sorry).
You know you’re an adult if you prefer the taste of your cake over and above the theme.

Or if Eggs Benedict and roasted asparagus were on the birthday menu.

You also know you’re getting old if your kids [...]

Seven Silly Snakes or something like that.

S is 7 years old. 

He asked for a “snake cake”.

I used this site for inspiration.
And then I added a mouse because I know what boys get excited about.

Happy Birthday, S!

A tag!

I’ve been tagged by my pregnancy twin*/best commenter, Anne. (Not to be exclusive or anything, but she definitely would win the ‘Most prolific commentator on that Moving blog’ bloggy badge.) (If I gave out those kind of awards.) (Or knew how to make bloggy badges.) (Which I don’t.) (But maybe I should.) (But I’d have [...]

Things I like…

When the snow looks like thick, fluffy icing with sparkles on top.
Great. Now I’m hungry.
 

Here it is in the daytime.
 

And another one just for fun.
It hasn’t stopped snowing today.

This is what you call camouflage.

Either he’s trying to sneak up on us or his friends buried him up to his neck in the snow and then left him as a prank. 
“Hey, guys? Guys? Where’d ya go? I’m getting kind of c-c-cold here!”

You will never guess what they got this year.

They were so excited to try them out. (They each got their favorite color, if you need a hint.)
