Battling the post holiday funk
Happy New Year friends! The holidays are behind us, we've said so long to Christmas decorations and lazy days. It's a new year, and with it comes the prospect of new goals and a fresh start....right?! Isn't that how it's supposed to be? Well for us there hasn't been a whole lot of that. Truth be told I had an entirely different post planned for today. Actually if I'm being totally honest, I had a different post planned for last week, but I digress... We're battling a serious case of post holiday funk in the Dreamhouse.
The reality of the Dream … 9 months later
Well hello there old friend...and by old friend I can only assume I'm talking to myself because after over a year of radio silence on the blog it's possible that I'm the only one still here. Okay, maybe my mom. Hi mom. :) It feels like forever since I've written anything or even checked in (nearly 13 months to be exact). A whole lot has happened in our lives since my last post. For starters - after 3 long years on this journey, we finally moved in to the Dreamhouse.
Fighting the Winter funk
3 weeks.... (That's how long it's been since my last post.) I should probably start by apologizing for the radio silence of late. I'm still here. I haven't abandoned you guys. But if I'm being totally honest, anything I had posted in the last 3 weeks, you probably wouldn't have wanted to read. Or maybe you would - sometimes a public online meltdown just makes for good entertainment. Lol! I'm kidding (sort of).
MacBook or no MacBook, the blog must go on…
If you remember last week was all about the window install (I know, how could you forget right?!). Well this week we were all geared up to kick off another Design Week & talk about all our plans for the exterior of the house... And then I spilled coffee on my MacBook.
Window waiting woes…
You might have noticed things on the construction front have come to a bit of a standstill lately. Well they haven't entirely - we've merely switched our focus from the main area of the house to another. More on that in a bit - but first here are a few of the lessons we've learned in the last several weeks:
A Commuter’s Rant
ONE HOUR. From Oshawa to Pickering?? Seriously?!? Do you ever have one of those mornings where you just want to crawl back into bed & pretend it's still the weekend? Well thanks to 401 traffic, today is one of those days.
S#*t our kid is whining about
Being a parent is a tough job. Kids - especially young ones are unpredictable. One minute they're smiling, the next they're saying something hilarious, and sometimes they're just completely irrational. We came across this Tumblr today that has been blowing up all over the Internet in the last few days, and I couldn't help but laugh...like serious, tears spilling down my cheeks laugh. Mostly because I CAN SOOO RELATE TO THIS!
