April Date Night – Tri-Ominos Style
I grew up playing Tri-Ominos at my grandma’s house, and I really don’t think I’ve ever played it since. Well, K (the husband) and I busted out our Tri-Ominos set, and it was actually a blast! I forgot how fun it was, and it really made me miss those games with my grandma. If you’ve […]
Homeowner Horrors
K (the husband) and I were so excited to buy our house, and had these huge dreams of fixing it up, a gorgeous backyard, and just making it our dream home within the first couple of years. In these amazing dreams we forgot to account for all of the repairs, and things breaking, and maintenance that […]
March Date Night – Canasta
Date Night, Canasta style. K (the husband) taught me Canasta shortly after we were married, and I don’t think he’s won a single hand of it since. Yes, Canasta is known as an old people game, but I kid you not, it’s the best. If you haven’t ever played you can check out the rules HERE. […]
Choosing Us, Choosing My Marriage
K (the husband) and I have had so many trials thrown our way, and been tested in ways that we never thought possible. There have been many times that we thought that we were going to fail, and that we, that our marriage, wasn’t going to make it. We’ve had to fight like hell to […]
Changes
This past year we’ve been through so many changes – leaving our apartment and moving in with my parents, then buying a house, 4 puppies, a layoff, new jobs for K, tons of home repairs, car troubles, everything. We’ve been through more than we ever imagined in one year, all while barely getting by. But, […]
S’mores a la Date Night
S’mores happen to be one of my favorite things ever. Like, EVER. I crave them far too often, and keep all ingredients for them in our food storage, just in case. K (the husband) knows s’mores are a way to my heart, and sometimes he’ll come in with a candle and s’mores ingredients, and it […]
Learning to Knit
My mom taught me to crochet when I was little, and my skills extended as far as a basic beanie, using double or single crochet only, and scarves. I remember trying to make blankets for my barbies, but they never ended up the same width, or anything. So, to say the least, my skills were […]
DIY Bedframe
K (the husband), soon to be the handiest man ever, made us a new bed frame! We’d been using a cheap frame that we bought a few years ago, and it was so rickety that when one or our dogs jumped up on it, or if we just sat down it would, literally, shake. So, […]
