Family Visit

So great to see my family from out of state who I haven’t seen for a long time. It was great to catch up and grill some food. It was a short visit but thankful for the time together. Read more »

Holiday Season!

The holidays were a truly special time for us. While we could not have large gatherings because of the pandemic, we did have smaller family time moments. Having Jason’s nephews and niece stay for a couple of days was a highlight. We cooked food, baked bread and cookies, played some games, etc. It is those intimate Read more »

Trying to stay fit - pandemic style

Fitness is something we will encourage for an adopted child.  But gyms are closed. But we need to set a good example, and the pandemic has allowed us to try new things (and to convert our attic in an area for that temporarily). Plus there is always biking and running around our neighborhood—but not so much Read more »

Visiting Grandma Again

It has been a good long while since we were able to visit grandma. The pandemic made it extremely difficult. Finally able to setup an appointment. Spent some quality time laughing and reminiscing. What a wonderful woman; so glad we could make her smile. Grateful for family and the amazing people in our life. Read more »

Stuck staying home (but our neighbors are great)

We have been exchanging things across our fence more frequently now that we are home.  It’s a great way to get through quarantine.  We bake focaccia with tomatoes from our garden.  In return we got some great sausages and brisket from their backyard smoker.  I guess we are all adapting to being home Read more »

Home Project(s) - Pathway

Getting a move on with the home projects. We wanted to not only test our home craftsman skills but wanted to have a nice little walkway after leaving the deck steps. It has been sweltering hot for days but finally the conditions were not-too-bad. A strawberry and watermelon slushie made the project a little more enjoyable and Read more »

In the kitchen with Milli and Toby

We’ve been using our kitchen a lot more than usual during the pandemic and experimenting with some great new recipes and cooking methods.  It has truly been a great silver lining because we save money and eat healthier.  We have also been focusing more on other home projects like purchasing a new rug Read more »

4th of July at Home

We were perfectly fine with doing a low key BBQ this year for 4th of July in our backyard.  Just parents at a safe distance and the dogs made it special (and a few leftover sparklers from last year). Read more »

Quarantine cooking at home—time to mix it up.

I think we have all been cooking at home more lately.  So, we decided to make it a little more exciting.  It helps to stay creative (and so do those leftover turkey sandwiches LOL). Read more »

Home gardening pays off

An upside to the pandemic is being home more often to start new projects and cook more.  We started our garden for vegetables to use in new recipes—stuffed zucchinis, cucumber salad and more.  Who knows what the rest of the summer will bring… Read more »
