Since we’re mostly a home improvement blog I won’t put you through all of our Epcot pictures (there are a lot). I’ll wait for the cheers to subside. Ahem, anyway….
While we were there we did notice how great all of the flowers and trees looked. Maybe it was us yearning for Spring, but Mr. Disney [...]

Color Me Happy
March 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Happy Homemakers, Random Musings
I’m sure you’ve seen the color career test floating around. I’ve seen it at How About Orange and Young House Love.
Matt and I gave it a shot. I was always a sucker for those tests in school where they tally up you answers and tell you what you should be when you grow up. [...]

Snow Birds

We are out of this wintery mess for five glorious days of fun in the sun in Florida! We were a little distraught by Florida’s unseasonably cold weather (38 degrees?!) but our vacation antics will not be deterred. We will return ready to regale you with stories of our fabulous adventure and sunburns to boot.
See [...]

Home is where the heart is
February 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Happy Homemakers, What's Cooking Good Looking?
I think I’ve established that I love baking. Sugar cookies are one of my favorites. Both Bakerella and Bake at 350 have such cute ideas. When I saw this on Fancy Flours.com, I knew it had to be mine. They might not be ready for the big time but they were delicious to eat!

Yesterday I got an email from the nest.com editors that they had decided to feature our house on their Real Couples Home Tours. We’re both super excited! It seems like we’ve been shouting it from the rooftops but in case you haven’t heard our shrieks of glee yet-here’s the link to our house tour on [...]

Meet the Newlyweds
January 27th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Happy Homemakers
While we’re not technically newlyweds anymore (I think its a state of mind anyhow!) we thought it would be fun to share some fun facts about us with the 2 or so readers that aren’t our family.
So without further ado-
1. I was born in California and at 12, we packed up and moved to [...]

We made out like bandits this year at Christmas! Thanks Mom! Thanks Dad! A few highlights….
A labeler for Brittney. This is now an addiction. I’m seeking help. But in the mean time, I’ve been labeling everything in sight. That includes pet kennels and things that don’t need to be labeled. Dad, thanks for enabling me! [...]

Griswold Family Trip
December 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Happy Homemakers
Our families have a long tradition of packing the car for family trips. I remember many years of Grandpas and Dads getting up waaaay earlier than the rest of the family to “pack the car.” Packing the car is in fact an art form. How else can you fit 2 adults, 3 kids, a couple [...]

They’re not just for kids anymore. We’re currently snowed in, and the Today Show even made it over to check us out! So, what to do with 2 unexpected days off from work? Board games, cookies and drinking of course! My brother, sister, Matt and I have had an exciting 36 hours. We have made: [...]

Oh the Horror
November 25th, 2009 · No Comments · Before & After, Happy Homemakers
I can’t believe I’m going to show you this but I’m all about keeping it real here! I opened our pantry on Thursday morning and came to the realization that it was an absolute disaster. I am not even kidding you. Our pantry is the blackhole of our kitchen. If it doesn’t have a home [...]
