If you live in Niagara, hopefully you were able to get outside and enjoy this gorgeous Autumn 🍂 🍁 day. Here’s the view I had from my desk at work this morning. I said to my sister, it physically HURT to be inside today! Fall days like this are my Favourite! Cool temps, brilliant sunshine, […]

Again, we had a bit of a stressful weekend, trying to problem solve something we never had to. At some point, we will learn to trust the professionals. We had what I will call a “wonky wall”. It’s the support wall for the big beam in our ceiling that allowed us to have the open […]

Today’s goal was window treatment shopping. As much as I hate shopping, Guillermo hates it more. But he was very patient. We ended up choosing things I never would have thought of. Not set in stone yet, we’re still looking at pricing and maybe another store. But we got a lot of education today, and […]

I’m a little speechless. So I’ll likely ramble. I’ve been all over the map emotionally, spiritually, and most definitely physically this week. Down with a bad cold after holding a sick baby in nursery on Sunday – my reserves are low. I’m struggling with God’s goodness. Why me? Why us? I have been so unfaithful […]

Here’s an optical illusion for you that pretty adequately sums up my feelings about last week.  this is a PHOTO.. not a video or a GIF.  There is nothing moving in this photo.. but your eyes show a rotation don’t they?  Pretty cool.  I guess my week was the opposite really, if i think about […]

Bill doesn’t quite believe it,nor do a few other Naysayers in my life (notmentioninganynamesMom) ..but we laid out the schedule at work the last couple of days, and figured out all the timelines for the trades and supply, and it looks like will be returning home exactly 4 months and 1 day from the day […]

May I present a video walk through of where we’re at end of today? Rock wool (Roxul) insulation is all in, spray foam in back of house still coming next week.. but here’s the house today! I started at the front door, then powder room, great room where Bill was vacuuming , kitchen wall, then […]

i know, i know.. .it’s been over a week since i blogged.  And it’s been a WEEK!!    a few more sleepless nights, trying to figure out insulation, how to get my plumber and HVAC guy to play nice.. orchestrating everything in time, ’cause my favourite insulator is going on 3 weeks holidays starting this […]

Or.. the heart/guts of the house.. Bill and I have decided that his responsibility, or the things he cares about most are what’s on the inside, whereas I care more about what how it looks in the end.. the cosmetics. Don’t get me wrong, I still care about the guts, and he still cares about […]
