Remember when our dream home was under construction and it was difficult to imagine how our white kitchen with brick backsplash was going to turn out?  With high, mirrored cabinets, was it going to look ridiculous? You can bet I had more than a couple sleepless nights worrying that is was. We have now been happily enjoying our home sweet home in the New Mexico mountains for almost 3 years. The best part? The kitchen! White Kitchen with Brick Backsplash I've had a reader email to ask about our wood ceiling and thought my other blog readers might enjoy having the same information. Here you go: Q.  What kind of wood is the ceiling in your house? It is beautiful. We are looking at rough-cut pine for a cabin that we are renovating. Debating on if we need to stain or seal it. A.  Our ceiling is actually just the everyday pine tongue and groove boards they sell at Lowes and Home Depot. The reason ours looks different is that we had them installed upside down so that ...

Update to my previous post: NO BABY! WOO HOO HOO!! Here's a funny repost that will make you just as happy about this news as we are. The Happiest Baby on the Block ...is not our baby because Sexy Nerd accidentally drowned it. Poor baby Nuke. Yes, Nuke (short for Nuclear) would be the name of our baby , if we had one. Thank goodness we don't! The Albuquerque library system has a scam running. I went in the other day to pick up a book I'd reserved. Directly in front of the holds, they had a beautiful, eye-catching display of baby books.  Ack, just what my baby madness didn't need! Very clever, library. They know that little kids are highly likely to damage and lose books, resulting in fines. Well it's not going to work on me, library! You can take your Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy and go to heck! Oh, who am I kidding? I was there to pick up my reserved copy of The Happiest Baby on the Block. And I already own The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregna...

I'm reposting this because I'm currently having a bit of a maybe-baby scare. All those "we didn't socially distance" pregnancy announcements are pretty funny...until it happens to you! Okay, on to the repost. I'll just be here, freaking out. I did something stupid at work on Friday. Someone forgot their sippy cup of milk in the waiting room of our pediatric dental office. I placed it on our Lost and Found shelf, thinking I would throw it out if no one came for it by that afternoon.  Then, I forgot all about it. It was a hot weekend here in Albuquerque and we leave our air conditioning turned off when the office is closed. I knew the sippy cup of milk was going to smell, but it was so much worse than I'd ever imagined. Instead of just a cup of sour milk, I entered our office today to find this horrible, milk-jelly. Not only was it stuck to everything, it was dripping down the edge of the shelf and onto the carpet below. Apparently, the rotting...
