Waaaaay back, like six months ago, when my Sister in Law put her house on the market, I started dreaming about her couch. Her red one. It would look fantastic in MY living room, and then I could move our current couch into the office/gameroom and the daybed from there into my daughter's room . . . . and so on and so forth.

Letting People into Our Lives, Not Just Into Our Home
Today is a strange day in my deslobification process. I'm having lots of warm fuzzies over the fact that I have extra laundry to do and am storing a rather large piece of furniture in my garage.

Step One: Open My Big Mouth
I have a very big mouth. Literally and figuratively. In sixth grade, everyone in my class measured mouths, and I won. A very proud moment. And today, I'm glad for the figurative largeness of my mouth. The backstory (hopefully shortened to only include necessary details): My husband's sister and her husband are moving. Due to … [Read more...]
