It’s September! And considering it is now September 17th, I think it is safe to say I am late with this blog post.

The last few months have been such a ride with the state of the world and everything that goes along with it. That being said, I feel this may be part of the reason I avoid writing here.

There is so much coming out of the news cycle these days and in everything I have read and learned there is A LOT of corruption. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to keep quiet online when I see lying, cheating and blatant criminality. So I speak out and these days speaking out against corruption gets a whole slew of opposing opinions to come after you. However, I have learned that a lot of this opposition is the product of agencies working for the criminals. Isn’t that something? The criminals are paying agencies to employ teams of accounts to silence us so they can get away with their criminality. Let that sink in.

And isn’t that the point, to silence those who are speaking out? Because God forbid anyone say anything bad about a certain someone or a certain political party, even if it’s true!! It is really mind blowing 🤯 I won’t stop speaking up, but it does keep me from sharing more of what’s going on in my life.

That aside, we are moving forward with our kitchen remodel and it is really coming along. I couldn’t be more thrilled! I will say all these choices and decisions are much more daunting than I could have ever imagined.

Here is where we are in the process. We are now awaiting the arrival of windows. Yay!

On the other hand, the better hand, I am not complaining and grateful we have the ability to make this happen, especially with what is going on in our world today.

Stay safe and please get vaccinated 🙏

August

Well, well, here we are, the beginning of August.

A couple of weeks ago our refrigerator decided to bite the dust. I must say a bit upsetting considering we bought it only 4 years ago. It happened just as we began plans for a new kitchen and knowing we would need a whole new appliance package. We got it looked at and were told it was the thermostat, but if we unplugged it for 24 hours the motherboard would reboot and give us a couple days. Since when do refrigerators have motherboards?

So we spent the last 3 weeks unplugging it, waiting 24 hours, plugging it back in, using it for 4 days only to unplug again and start the process all over. What a drag. However, we dont have to do that anymore because now our kitchen looks like this…

Which means we actually did it! We are renovating our kitchen! And can I just say, it’s only been 2 days and it is already quite the surreal experience.

On that note, I’m so glad I have this space to keep track of what’s going on in my life!

The Lego House

by James May

In August 2009, James May, currently known for co-presenter on Top Gear built a full-sized house out of Legos at Denbies Wine Estate in Surrey, UK. Legoland was to move it to their theme park, but plans for this fell through in September 2009 due to costs for deconstruction, shipping and rebuilding being too high. There was a Facebook appeal to save the Lego House, unfortunately it didn’t work out and the house was demolished on September 22, with the plastic bricks planned to be donated to charity.

Even the toothpaste and toothbrush are Legos!

I haven’t been visiting this space as much as I would like. You know how it is…life gets in the way, you get busy and start making excuses for why it’s okay that you haven’t posted on your blog. Things like – no one will miss if I don’t write something – people aren’t interested – nobody reads it anyway – it’s just another recipe. However, that’s not why I blog – I blog to document my world, my life, my loves, all the cool things I find on this vast well of information. I blog for me.

So here is a pinch of my documentation as of late..

These look yummy! Don’t they? Of course I would have to adjust the vegetables rolled in the steak because I am married to the pickiest guy on the planet. Still, I think it might work so I’m going to give it a whirl.

Check out the recipe here.

And what about these, huh? Simple. Simple. Simple. I like simple.

Then a brand new kitchen to cook it all in.

I look at lots of pictures of kitchens and pin a lot of kitchens and I gotta say this is, by far, my favoritest kitchen EVER.

Get a look into this brilliant designer and see this kitchen bigger and better here.

Have a wonderful and safe Holiday weekend!

Bunkbeds

Bed-up

Bed-up, located in Paris, France, designs the bed above. This bed rises to the ceiling thus revealing a living space beneath it. It’s ingenious, isn’t it? I absolutely love it! This kind of stuff is right up my alley. I just wish I could have had something like this when I was first starting out in my studio apartment.

The next five images are kid friendly and imaginative – love these for my boy.

The next three images showcase a bunk-bed that is my favorite. It is the Lollipop  Bunk-bed by Bonbon. Although, the first bed posted above (from Bed-up) is amazing, the bed below is probably something anyone can do in their home. This hide-away bunk-bed is sleek, space-saving and sophisticated – a designer’s dream combination.
