This article on getting rid of clutter made me laugh (and cry) out out, in particular these tips: Place every cloth napkin you own in a sacred circle on the cleanest table you own (tables should be either a rock from the sea or a book that is enchanted by one or fewer spells). If the…
Merry Christmas
I snapped this photo of Sophie right after we put up the tree. It’s a fake tree that has lasted us probably six or seven years now, pretty good for a fake. I always use silver and white ornaments and last year I added some silver ribbon. I love how it brightens up the entire…

race cars, wine, and earthquakes
Sorry for the gap in posts. Nolan and I went to California last week with his work. We stayed at the Villagio Inn & Spa in Yountville and attended the Indy race at Sonoma Raceway. All that was amazing but the craziest/scariest/most memorable part of the trip was the earthquake on Sunday at 3AM! It was…

I *should* be doing something more productive on a Saturday morning but instead I’ve been surfing the web, look what I found! 1. A toolbox in your hair. 2. New York Magazine’s rant on avocado toast on Instagram. 3. Dogs of Domino, especially #8/9 and #20. 4. Renovation Regrets and the most expensive new light fixture. 5.…
All Play and No Work
All play and no work pretty much sums up the last couple weeks. Between dinners with friends, happy hours, 5Ks, Nolan’s Grandma’s 85th birthday party, baby showers, kid’s birthdays, a sick weekend, and volleyball twice a week, Nolan and I have done very little around the house. (We just finished the spring VB leagues and just…
goals and toots
We’re now 6 months into 2014… has anyone kept their New Year’s Resolution?? I didn’t make any. I feel like in Minnesota it’s really hard to get motivated to do anything in January. Christmas is over, it’s #stupidcold outside and you know you’ve got at least two more months ahead of you. I’m cold just…
Our chairs arms are falling off!
Who else is super excited about Dumb and Dumber To? Remember the “Our pets’ heads are falling off!” scene from the first movie? Classic. It’s funny timing because I was just starting to get used to Jeff Daniels in a serious role on The Newsroom. Sophie’s head isn’t falling off, but our chair arms are!…
McList Update!
Time for a McList update! The last update was from about 6 months ago, since then we’ve done a lot, and I’ve added a lot to the list of to-dos! I mixed in some pictures to make it a tiny bit more interesting. Master Bedroom More here, here and here. DONE: Remove wallpaper & prep for…
