A Pinterest-ing Weekend in Chicago
Yep – we did it again. 🙂 To say this has been a busy couple of weeks would be an understatement. I’ve taken on several new freelance projects, and while I’m really enjoying the work, the days are flying by faster than ever. It hasn’t been all work, though. Last weekend I had the chance […]
Looking Back
Overall, 2013 was really good to us. We started the year settled into our new home, but had no idea just how much out-of-state adventure Bobby’s new job would bring us. We ended the year with a nice change of pace, however, and in 2014 are looking forward to exploring more of what’s right here […]

Pane e Vino
Thank you for the anniversary wishes yesterday! We had a wonderful night of celebrating and your sweet comments made it extra special. That, and an excellent restaurant recommendation from Mama Bender, who knows her way around the Arizona eatery world better than we do (for now). 🙂 After a brief furniture adventure, Bobby and I […]
