When Wes and I saw this house, we really fell in love with it. We did not, however, fall in love with the kitchen. In fact, we both agreed that the kitchen would be the first area of the house to see a little improvement. You might be wondering why. Well see, the previous owners [...]
Home.
Tonight Wes and I are going to embark on the next great adventure of our life together: we’re going house hunting! In the last few months it has become increasingly clear that we need more space. We both have too many activities that involve equipment, and we’re just plumb out of storage space. Combine that [...]
Awash in squash.
Fall is upon us (officially today!) and squash is in season. For the past few weeks we have been receiving generous portions of squash in our CSA basket. So Wes and I have been trolling recipes and experimenting. We made this one last night and it was TASTY! Sausage Stuffed Butternut Squashcourtesy of Cooks.com 1 [...]
The knife set is out to get me.
Just sliced finger with the wedding knife set AGAIN. I think it hates me.
Weekend in photos.
We managed to accomplish quite a bit this weekend. Yesterday we did wedding and clothes shopping, ran errands, and found a tasty lunch. Last night we saw Hellboy II – I liked it a lot better than the first. This morning we got up really early and went out to kayak at Longview Lake. We [...]

KITHing it up.
This weekend I spent most of the weekend with my knitty girlfriends at Knitting in the Heartland, the Sunflower Knitters Guild’s annual conference. This year’s featured guest was Stefanie Japel from Glampyre Knits and author of the book Fitted Knits. The best part was that this conference was local – right here in KC! Friday [...]
Cleaning.
In my new domestic role, I’m responsible for cleaning the house. I hate cleaning. I live for the day when I make enough to hire someone to come clean my house once a week. That’s why I was so glad to find this little helper.
Why I don’t sleep at night.
Last night I woke up to this: That’s right, I opened my eyes and Wes’s fist was on my pillow about 3 inches from my face. I was disturbed. Never mind that he elbowed me in the head later that night.
