BMoxies 2nd Ever Photo Week – Day 4 (Well, Evyn, If You Can’t Duct It . . .)
12
Evyn has been known to hang out for brief clips when I am doing work around the house. And truth -- she is usually only good for max about 15 minutes. But in the end, it is always a nice little distraction. My hope is she learns a little something . . . if nothing else -- a little something about her dad. Here, I asked her to hand me the "foil tape" sitting on the counter next to her. She was happy to oblige. [ . . . ]
Because 78.2% of Our Readership is Female AND Has 1 or More Cats

This is a 9x12 (approx) Karastan rug; Design = Sarouk; Pattern = 724. I only know this because I flipped over the edge and found the label . . . . To the left of that label, you'll find Use and Care Instructions. (Note: While it is hard to see -- nowhere on it does it mention the benefits of adding one or more cats.) [ . . . ]
Nick Lovelady :: Toddlers and ToolBelts (House to Home)
14July 1, 2010
I have faint recollections of the small home my young parents moved into - I do remember the initial major renovation - I was four years old. The day the ceiling came down was particularly memorable. My grandfather and father pulled the living room ceiling down as mother and I watched from the front porch. I'm sure the asbestos dust, lead paint and ancient insulation are why we are the way we are. Still, I was mesmerized by the project. [ . . . ]

We then took our dough and kneaded it in some flour (wow, what a mess). We now had to take it and split it into 3 equal parts. What the instructions didn't count on was that the girls had been hitting it up for minutes. They systematically licked everything clean, the bowl, the utensils, while simultaneously consuming any piece of dough not firmly attached to our mound lying there. [ . . . ]
Happy Mother’s Day, Jen! Let’s re-finish the porch
3
We made arrangements to send the girls over to my mom's house this past weekend. They were going to spend the night with their Gram. For her, my mother, that's the best Mother's Day gift ever (who knew). This was good for Jenny & I, because it freed up some time to address something that has been weighing rather heavily on us: A mahogany porch that was not 4 years old, and in need of re-finishing, again.
. . . A few years back, and you probably know, we had a little time with this house before we moved in. During that time, one big area of immediate need was the exterior porches. The guy we had working with us, well, I don't like talking about him, suggested mahogany. [ . . . ]
