House Project Update!
It’s been a while since I’ve updated on our Winter House Project (replacing all of our interior doors and painting all of our trim white). It’s not exactly done, but it’s close. We have a few touch ups left to do, the pantry door in the kitchen and the closet doors in our two upstairs…

The Meaning(fulness) of Truth
The idea of truth is something that’s been brought up in conversations around me several times recently, and has hence been on my mind. Truth seeks to answer the “Matrix-esque” question: What is Real? Truth can be defined as “accuracy” or “the conformity to reality or actuality”. You may have heard the phrase “absolute truth”…

Delicious Calzones
I’ve been on a mission to switch up my Pizza Nights a bit. Last week I decided to venture out and try a Thin Crust Pizza, which turned out very well. This week, I decided to try making Calzones: an undertaking that was also met with delicious results! Tom said it was “pretty good” after…

Let the Gardening Begin
Due to my “spring break” vacation at the beginning of the month, I had to delay the start of my garden by a couple weeks. It’s probably not a bad thing, seeing as though we’ve had a very cold spring thus far. However, today I was finally able to officially start my vegetable garden! I…

The Rise of the Super Moon (and other adventures in astronomy)
I was excited to see all of the hype created by the so-called “super moon” – even if there wasn’t anything drastically different to see. I like it when the general population gets engaged in astronomy, as well as any opportunities to learn new things myself. This past Friday was one of the best clear…
