It has become clear that designing and building our dream home is going to cause a bit of stress on our relationship. I showed Sexy Nerd the following photo: Not too shabby, right? Our real-life view on our 13.1 acre lot in the New Mexico mountains isn't going to include any other houses. This seems like a realistic idea to me. Sexy Nerd, however, says that my dream balcony is "not being practical and would never fit into our budget". Yesterday, he caught a glimpse of a photo I had liked on Pinterest . "Send that to me!" he said. I rolled my eyes. "Really," he insisted. "I'm going to incorporate that into our house design." The photo? Really, Sexy Nerd? Really?

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has been up to lately. Have a great weekend, bloggy friends!

Okay, so Sexy Nerd thinks I'm being "unrealistic" in our dream home planning. Hear me out though! The plan: Build all three of these tiny houses (but even cuter!) connected by a hallway at the back, which is completely disguised by trees. What do you get? One great, unique, fabulous, super-cute dream house! Now, I just need to convince the HOA's architectural review board...

Have a great weekend, everyone!

These are very simple to make. We eat them as a snack but they would also make a great appetizer. The recipe below is for 2 people. Om nom nom. Sexy Nerd has been growing a lot of zucchini in his garden. Why he wrapped the larger zucchini in plastic is anyone's guess.  Beat 2 eggs. Personally, I think photos of beating eggs are fun. Frothy!   Coarsely grate 1 zucchini. There is no need to peel it. If you're looking for a review of my Kitchen Aid food processor, just know that I am not a fan. (It leaks!) Mix 1 cup of zucchini in with your eggs. There is no need to drain any moisture from the zucchini. Mix in 1/2 a cup of pancake mix. Does it concern me that Sexy Nerd and I go through several of these 10 pound bags a year? A little. Oooh, drippy. Mix in a pinch of onion salt, a dash of garlic powder, and a generous sprinkling each of curry powder and italian seasoning. I love curry powder so I tend to add at l...

I recently received a Dragonsaurous Child Costume to review from Wholesale Halloween Costumes . Out of all the costumes I have written about for this company ( Baby Skunk , Blonde Wig , and Little Lion ), this one is my favorite by far! If you're looking for a costume for your baby or toddler for Halloween this year , this one is it. Out of the package, the Dragonsaurous costume looks exactly as high quality as it does online. There is no need to iron it. The scales going down the tail and the teeth are a thick enough felt that they don't simply fall over like in lower quality costumes. The zipper works flawlessly. Everything is connected so you're not going to be searching the house frantically trying to find a part of the costume before trick-or-treating. I also love that this is a unisex costume. Boys and girls would both have fun roaring and stomping around is this costume, whether on Halloween or simply for playing dress-up. Plus, it's super-cute! ...
