I can remember a time, not that many years ago, when I used to be bored with my life… It seemed flat. Devoid of any extremes in emotion. Mundane. I can’t put my finger on why I felt this way. Nothing was wrong! I wasn’t depressed. I guess I was just restless. I wanted […]

How we made over our kitchen for under $1,000.
This week we finished renovating our kitchen. If you didn’t catch the before/after post you can see the full post here, but here is a glimpse of the transformation: Before: After: We’ve had some lovely feedback regarding the dramatic change, and plenty of questions on both Facebook and Instagram. So I thought it would be a […]
Before & After – The kitchen!!
If you’d have told me a month ago that I’d be writing this post, I would not have believed you. I would have wanted to believe you, but I would still not have believed you! Because after receiving quotes to do up the kitchen with a total price tag of around $12,000, I did not […]

Finally – I have a new computer!!!
For the last couple of years, I have been growing increasingly frustrated at my lemon of a laptop… Not only does it take about 25 minutes to power up, but it seemed to literally take 5 minutes to decide to do ANYTHING. Then just as I would finally feel like I was getting somewhere (assuming […]
