Monday Madness

Saturday was a day of random. I stayed home all day with the baby, which is normal, but for some reason I didn’t feel normal. I blame the weather. I left a load of laundry in the dryer instead of bringing it to our room to fold. I just grabbed what I needed when I [ READ MORE ]

Room ReDo: Guest Room

As I wondered around JoAnn’s last night, I realized I needed a new project. I perused the shelves, managed to spend $12, but still left feeling…incomplete. The nursery is almost finished. I don’t have much time for knitting or crafting, so I don’t need many supplies on that front. Hmmmm. Then, at 2:45am, it hit [ READ MORE ]

The Beginning

Day 1. The sunroom. Buh-bye, carpet.  We won’t miss you. Or your nasty little tack strips. Day 2. The new floor comes inside to “acclimate.” 35 boxes, 33 pounds each. Too bad I was busy growing a baby and had to let Dave carry all of it in from the garage by himself. It’s amazing [ READ MORE ]

Refinancing

You really hear a lot about refinancing these days. I never really thought too much about it. Figured it wasn’t for me. Refinancing? I don’t need no stinkin’ refinancing. Right. Guess who’s refinancing this week? We are.  We’re switching from a 30 year loan at 6.25% to a 15 year loan at 4.35%.  If we [ READ MORE ]
