Long Awaited Snow & Tree Lights

It finally snowed this month.  We were supposed to get blizzard-like snow but instead, we got lots of wind and a nice dusting of flaky snow.  It's pretty and peaceful (as always) but extremely cold.  The temperature outside is 17.8°F.

This Thanksgiving, the... Continue Reading →

Bok Choy and Kabocha Squash

Mom gave me some bok choy and a kabocha squash and because my kids and husband are not fans, I have to be a little creative with what I make, otherwise most of it goes to waste. With the bok choy, I made a stir fry with chicken and a little bit of osyter sauce. ... Continue Reading →

Painted the Great Room, Etc.

Husband finally finished painting over the pale white walls of the great room, upstairs landing, loft, and entryway.  He painted them a soft sand color, the same color he painted the living room (thought I had blogged about the living room awhile back but I didn't).  It doesn't look extremely different but the small change...
