Because…1) I’m exhausted after a really long and frustrating week (starting with an impromptu 14 hr round trip road trip this past weekend, 2) the weather is GORGEOUS outside right now, and 3) the Red Sox are on and KILLING IT tonight…I don’t really have a good project or witty tutorial to share with you. Bad blogger…bad. But I do have a little Goose video to share with you all. [...]

4 Comments If you’ve learned anything around these parts, it’s the following…(1) we love us a good DIY project, (2) we’re crazy about our pooch, Goose, even though he’s off the charts on the obnoxious scale just a little more obnoxious than Heidi Montag but a little less than Paris Hilton, and (3) I have precisely zero point zero willpower at Home Goods (remember the pink mirror from a couple of weeks [...]

I love our dog, I really do, but sometimes he does stuff like this: Look at him sitting there all innocent and smug looking. Yup…one of my favorite things in our house, my beloved orange lamp from Pottery Barn, is officially dead. Time of death 2:51 pm. And I cried. Like, CRIED cried and then I realized it was just a lamp and I would be okay-ish. Emphasis on “ish”. [...]

Since yesterday we started the “long overdue trend” with finally finishing the wooden bookcase that Colby built over a year ago, how about another long overdue switcheroo?! This time it occurs in the kitchen…and with this sad looking dude. That’s an iPod dock/clock radio. Colby and I are both big fans of music in the kitchen. It’s nice to cook and clean while rocking out to Pandora, even though I [...]

I’m just going to get right to this. I am WOEFULLY behind in tackling my 30 Before 30 list…woefully behind! Out of the 30 tasks on that list, I’ve only tackled about five of them and I only have about five months left to finish the remaining 25. Uh oh…crunch time! At least my grad schooling (a master’s in business administration) has taught me the fine art of procrastinating and [...]

From Angie’s Roost…and Goose the bat dog. We’re spending the evening hanging around the house and eating all the candy meant for the neighborhood kids with full intentions of denying it in the morning when we hit the gym. I cannot confirm nor deny that I may have fought a pint size Luigi and a princess over the last Kit Kat. Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween! We’ll [...]

Today, one of my favorite blog commenters Kelly (seriously girl…I look forward to your comments every day) asked how Goose was liking the new laminate floor. So I thought answering her question would make a great blog post. And what makes a blog post even more amazing? Videos! We took a couple videos of Goose running and jumping on the new laminate flooring. To preface the videos, I have a [...]

Can you believe it? Our little dog child is a whopping two years old! It seems like just yesterday when we brought the little pipsqueak home. In fact, we oh so appropriately found the first ever video we took of puppy Goose. We filmed it in our kitchen the night we brought him home. Without further ado, puppy Goose: Wasn’t he cute? He still is…and that’s a GOOD thing. [...]

Winter finally, FINALLY arrived here in Maine. Three cheers for snow! We got dumped on with a storm this past weekend. Now normally, when I refer to “dumped on” it involves a couple feet of snow…you know in the 2-3 feet category. But for this crazy warm winter, “dumped on” is more like 2-3 inches. So this weekend we reveled in the new snow and did a little shoveling and [...]

Contrary to popular belief, we’re not all DIY and decorating 24-7. Honestly, if I could have it my way I would probably paint all day every day. But alas, laundry, cleaning, wedding planning, the day job, and Goose responsibilities get in the way. Oh and I almost forgot, Colby responsibilities, get in the way of my painting too. And by the way, Colby responsibilities include going out with him on [...]
