Everyday I get more and more excited to move to the new house. I finished the painting of the last room. Flooring is in the process of being laid. After that, it's trim and adding in a few final touches. Then the big clean up. Tony added some electric to my makeup vanity in my [...]
We are working on the finishing touches before we get to the last room. Today I am performing the tedious task of placing switch plates. That's not as easy as it sounds. Small screws and washers to adjust each one. The kind of work Tony hates. Not because he isn't willing to. He has huge [...]
This week I am starting the cleaning of rooms that are finished in the house. Making sure to get the last bit of paint and dust off the floors and doing a final check of where touch ups may be needed. Tony is finishing up any of the other projects in the house. When we [...]
The house is literally down to the home stretch. The amount of large projects is dwindling. I am finished with painting my bedroom in a color which I thought was going to be a warm gray. It ended up being taupe instead. When you are saving money on paint, there are bound to be a [...]
The house is getting there. I got another room mostly painted. Twice a day I go to the house to work towards completing something. The hope is to be close to done by the end of the month. We'll see. Depends on how much I can get done. Since I am so busy I chose [...]
I decided to change things up on the dessert end this week. I will be making more ice cream, but I wanted to do something different.

The last ice cream recipe went over really well and I wanted try another one. This week is again something I developed from bits and pieces of other recipes. I also wanted a healthier version of ice cream that lower in carbs, high in healthy fats and lower in calories. I hope you all are [...]
This post will be a bit short this week. I'm pretty busy working on the house and with work. I still want to provide content for you all each week. This recipe is my own creation after looking through some ideas for ice cream. I really haven't made much this year, and I wanted to [...]
I am a sucker for a new type of fruitcake recipe. This week I am making the Japanese Fruitcake recipe from Southern Living. It's kind of weird that I found this recipe in a magazine for Southern US recipes. I looked around for an explanation, Delishably defined it as: "There's nothing Japanese about this cake, [...]
The house is moving along. I am excited that I have a couple of new appliances coming this week. Finally, a working refrigerator that has a water dispenser with ice. No more working on hot days with warm water in my water bottle. I know it's first world problems, but the house gets pretty hot [...]
