Happy Thursday! Another week has practically flown by and this one has been busier than ever. But for good reason: we are now officially under contract on a beautiful home! I’m not getting too ahead of myself yet with all the details on here because we’re tackling the inspection this weekend, but I think it’s […]
Tidbits and Treats
Raspberry Beret
She wore a raspberry beret… The kind you find in a second hand grocery store. I’ve had my hometown artist Prince’s song stuck in my head since breakfast. Happy October! To ring in one of my favorite months of the year – it’s officially pumpkin season, not to mention our two-year anniversary is […]
House Hunters
I’ve learned a lot of valuable life lessons this week. Lesson #1: Don’t speak too soon. Although we put our first offer on a house last weekend, this one was not meant to be. We went back and forth a few times before the mystery buyers swooped in and made the sellers an offer they […]
Arizona Restaurant Week: Cheuvront

Namely: A desert “roof rat” decided that our soy-coated Volkswagen wires (don’t ask me why they coat them in soy) looked delicious enough to chew through overnight. Literally between Tuesday night […]
Birthday Boy
Although we broke the tradition of visiting McCormick & Schmick’s for Karen’s Bobby’s birthday this year, we still managed to have an amazing celebration. Easy for me to say since Mama Bender and I are the ones who planned it, but Bobby also agreed. 😉 When Bobby requested that we stay in to watch the […]
Making The Most Of Chicago: Part One
Thank you all so much for the wonderful well wishes on our big move! You’re amazing! As you might expect when given six days to sell and pack everything you own, it has been a little crazy over here. I’ve taken up a part-time job as a Craigslist Poster (not an official position, but it […]
