Have It Confections is a wonderful etsy shop selling sweet treats. I never tasted salted caramel before so I thought we should order. A box with these beauties came. OMG they are amazing. They don’t taste anything like what you would think. Their description of their item is Fleur de Sel ~ the perfect marriage […]
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010Tiny Bathroom Renovation
There is a bathroom on each floor of our new house. A regular full size on the third, a half on the first and an under the stairs -> powder room on the first floor. It’s tiny. It’s just enough room for a toilet and small sink. Designing the room is tricky because we want […]
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010Looking for things going right
For as much that goes wrong in life, there are so many things that go right. We went on the roof this weekend. Before we purchased the house, we had an engineer tell us that it was brand new and he even knew the company that put the roof on because of the way it […]
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010Anthropologie Coupon – Hooray!

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010The Greatest Man I Never Knew
Most of my friends have one kind of Dad, I have another type of Dad. Although my type of Dad may be more rare, he does exist. There are other people who have written about their fathers and even sung songs about their fathers and I can totally relate to them. My song for my […]

Lee and I planted trees in the backyard today. One in honor of my Dad. Lee is a gift from God and I couldn’t be more grateful!

My Dad was buried today. I’ll visit soon and plant some flowers. My Dad liked remembering my brother with flowers.
Friday, April 30th, 2010Funeral Parlors
I hate funerals and even more funeral parlors. Dead bodies don’t bother me. But the flowers, priests garbs hanging on the walls and pictures were bothersome. Even more bothersome was that my father’s cold body laid in a coffin and hardly anything about him was recognizable. He was recognizable in the hospital over the past […]

I spoke to the male nurse taking care of my father. He had sad news for me. Expected, but sad.
Monday, April 5th, 2010Blessings which extend too long
We had our first Easter dinner in our home. We ate great food and the house was filled with laughter. One of our friends said grace and she thanked God for our house and then was saying some sweet words over our home. She ended it with, “Lord, may Marlene & Leon have 100 more wonderful […]
Saturday, March 20th, 2010Happy Earth Day!
– I recycle: glass, plastic, cardboard and paper. NYC has a good program and they pick up once a week. – We use our own bags at the store. They are stronger, prettier and hold a lot. I bought these bags by RuMe for Lee or Christmas two years ago (he’s really into recycling). RuMe […]
