I swore I wouldn’t write another post about the renovation, and yet it consumes me, dear reader. My life is swallowed by the renovation, and the working around the contractor’s schedule, and the I need to choose a light fixture thinking that I have right now. I’m even boring myself. Be thankful you don’t need […]

I was skeptical – who puts yogurt […]
