We believe we should all love where we live.

 Yesterday, the skin on my hands started coming off (I’m sorry, that is so gross), so I really need to keep them wrapped up, but the gauze squares and medical tape were NOT working.  Why is medical tape so un-sticky?!  Since I am sans car, on Chris’s way home from work (he had to work late), he stopped by the store to get some supplies.  Once he got home and gave Greta snuggles, he played nurse and bandaged me up.  Then he started running Greta’s bath, which I couldn’t help with because of my hands.  Then he did the dishes,  put a load of laundry in, THEN he made one FABULOUS dinner and we snuggled and watched an episode of HOUSE on his laptop in bed.  
Spicy rice, cinnamon black beans with
mushrooms and scallions and juicy pork chops
I married one stellar guy, huh?! 
Not to mention he did all this while looking super fine in a lavender-striped button up, gray sweater vest and jeans.  Be still my heart, MMmmm!

  1. Wow! Can you please tell Chris to start a cooking blog? I wish I could cook well. By well I mean healthy and delicious. This looks absolutely perfect.

  2. O MY simmer down…lol.

    Um can we have the recipe for ALL of that?????? SO good! I haven’t made pork chops in a LONG time because I haven’t found a good recipe that doesn’t dry those suckers out.

    Keep us posted with the hands! I kind of want to see a pic…

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 […]
