OH! Happy day.

We believe we should all love where we live.

We’re a couple of homebodies, working to uncover the home our home wants to be. And we’re so happy to have you here.

Greta is all smiles again! Whew.

Sunday was a major turning point. She went from tears to giggles and from NO SLEEP to her 10 hours a night. I am so glad. During our Marcum family dinner, My sister-in-law, Stephanie, gave Greta and I a footzone. I have thrush and have been off of carbs and sugar for about two weeks. I have, of course, been hungry and a little cranky myself (As anyone would). But I needed to get rid of the thrush and I was seeing drastic improvements when I didn’t shove bread and sugar in my system. The pain was basically gone. Unfortunately, I didn’t put it together that Greta was not liking this new diet I was on. It was hurting her little tummy and not filling her up either. Stephanie told me that I NEEDED to incorporate carbs in my diet without incorporating yeast. Things like Triscuits, whole grain tortillas and even tortilla chips. Wow, that was music to my ears! It was just what Greta and I needed. She is back to lovely little self and I am not so cranky.

What do you think?

  1. Her eyes can get SOOO big! She is very expressive. Those eyebrows are stunning. Seriously, supermodel quality.

  2. I am so glad to hear things are better! A sleepless baby + a sleepless mommy = NO FUN! Brandon and Steph were telling me about Stephanie’s foot zoning thing and I told them I am always a skeptic of those sorts of things. They said if I try it once, I’ll be a believer! Sounds like it worked for you too. AWESOME!

  3. NO CARBS?

    NO SUGAR???

    How did you survive? I’m trying to have more fruits and veggies in my diet!

    Yikes I would be SO angry and grumpy the whole time!

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
