This post is written in partnership with Fox Pest Control. Yes, we’re really talking about pest control today. Being home as much as we are these days, we’ve been tackling lots of both long and short term projects– the lawn, a space in the basement for working out, a remote school set-up for Grace, fairy gardens, weirdo Halloween decorations, and everything in between. Some of our projects have involved creating…

Today: Passing through.
I’ve always looked at spring and fall as transition times, not giving them the full respect of actual seasons. Spring gets us to summer (Thank you, Jesus). And fall gets us to winter (Happy Birthday, Jesus… and, in the case of winters such as the last one,…

Today: Currently | September 2015
We’re more than half-way through September and my fellow old folks and I are left to wonder, Where has the time gone? I’ve been feeling a bit in limbo (but physically unable to actually limbo) lately. Part of me wants this third trimester and all its…

Today: Happy Weekend.

Today: October goals.
I showed some serious restraint in not naming this post Goaltoberfest. This month, I am committing to some much needed life adjusting. With fall and the back to school rush being one of my busiest times at work, I’ve found myself feeling spread more thin than…

Today: An afternoon in the pumpkin patch.
Reasons why I am the least enjoyable person to be around this time of year (an abbreviated list): The only pumpkin-flavored things I like are pumpkins. I don’t want my coffee to taste like a gourd. I want it to taste like coffee. Same goes…

Today: A taste of fall.
If I had my way, we’d skip from summer to winter, mostly so that I’d have reason to decorate for Christmas in early September. Since moving to our new place, though, I’ve had a chance to crunch through the fallen leaves with Clark each day…

Today: I hate fall. But I like autumn.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I was in a hideous mood earlier this week (I’d blame lack of sleep over the weekend, but after dressing up like a flying squirrel on Saturday night, I slept until 10 the next morning.). Clark was feeling salty too, mostly because he…
