Happy cold, snowy morning to you! It started snowing here about an hour ago and it is gorgeous. I’ve been reveling in these beautiful mornings this week, despite the almost below zero temperatures. Here’s a pic I snapped yesterday morning… I love that you can see the frozen lake in the distance… Currently there is […]
I’m taking down our Christmas decorations today. Total bummer. I adore the way our home looks and feels all dressed up in it’s Christmas best. If our tree would last and be fresh all year, I’d be seriously tempted to keep it up. But alas, I give in and put these things away and look […]
Well despite the drought J and I have been working incredibly hard to maintain our garden this year. We have done a pretty decent job thanks to our trusty friend, the soaker hose. Even though we’ve had pretty good success (comparatively) there are some things I’ll do differently next year. Like…. Nix the green beans–too […]
I’m off of work this morning and loving life. My morning has been spent sipping tea, writing letters and making lists. Yep, that’s right. Lists. I’m totally a list person. I have so many lists everywhere that I have to make a list just to keep them in order. If I don’t use this organizational […]
Well hello Thursday. It’s so good to see you bright and early this morning. Wait… I mean dark and early. Definitely dark and early. The sun doesn’t rise prior to 5 am. Coffee?? I don’t need no stinkin’ coffee. I have pure… adventure to thrive off of. Why all the adventure you ask? As of […]
I, Kirby, with the power invested in me by the state of Indiana…hereby make it illegal for all work/classes to be held on such a beautiful Spring day as this. They are forever cancelled on sunny, 70-80 degree days that are accompanied by a slight breeze. For our fellow Hoosiers, you’re welcome. Those of you […]
If you’re new to the scene here at NN, you may not know that when it comes to my garden, I’m a novice gardener with professional expectations. Last year was my first year to have my (our) own garden. I pretty much grabbed the tools from my in-laws garage and went to work. No planning. […]
J was having a man’s night with some friends last night so I ate alone. I took it as the perfect opportunity to try these killer tofu lettuce wraps I’ve been wanting to make but dreading the disdainful look from my carnivorous husband at the sight of tofu in our house. They were incredibly easy and […]
TOMS has a new line. Have you heard? Men you probably won’t care a thing about this because they are…. ballet flats. That pitter patter is the beating of my heart. I haven’t been this excited since I found out that Joy the Baker will be coming to Chicago on her book tour! This may […]
I just can’t seem to shake it. It’s still January…which means it’s still Human Trafficking Awareness Month. I know you know this. We talked about it a week or two ago. But I just can’t seem to shake my feeling of needing to talk about it…often. I was reminded at church tonight, how important it […]
