I’m very tired from today’s cleaning adventures, so I’m going to postpone today’s post of our rehabbing the Smoke House until tomorrow. But here’s a sneak peak of just how dirty it was, and how clean we were able to get it. I still cant believe: (1) that someone could live like this, and (2)Continue reading “Sneak Peek of Tomorrow’s Post”

The Smoke House Rehab (Part 1)
About 2 years ago, Steve and I bought a couple investment properties in Memphis, TN. At the time, we thought it was a great investment. I mean, where else can you buy a house for $30,000 and rehab it for only about $10,000 and then rent it out for a nice profit every month? Well,Continue reading “The Smoke House Rehab (Part 1)”
The House is Quiet Again
We gave little Tinkerbell back to her parents today…..and the house has never been so quiet! Don’t get me wrong, Tink is such a cutie!!! She just suffers from a very bad case of separation anxiety. I couldn’t even go to the bathroom for 1 minute without her crying and barking. Oh wait….I’ve got oneContinue reading “The House is Quiet Again”
The Patio is Finished!
I’m sorry for not writing for the past couple days. This weekend has been a little busy. Yesterday, I spent the whole day cleaning and hanging up new pictures…. ….such as this one of Fancy…. …and this one of our sweet Kaylee… …and this ridiculous one of Lazarus. ButContinue reading “The Patio is Finished!”
A Surprise in the Mailbox
I love getting real mail. You know, the kind that is delivered by the mailman? I rifle through all the junk mail, newspaper coupons, and credit card pre-approvals each day, and once in a while there’s actually a little treasure worth opening! Whether it be a note from a friend or family member, an invitationContinue reading “A Surprise in the Mailbox”
My Name is Not Amanda
After Steve and I (and the furbabies) moved to Tennessee, we changed our phone numbers to match the local 615 area code. It made us feel like official Nashvillians (not to be confused with Nash-villains). Unfortunately, ever since I got my new Nashville phone number 2 years ago I’ve been getting phone calls for aContinue reading “My Name is Not Amanda”
First Mow of the Season
Steve mowed our lawn today! The first mow of the spring season. Living in California my entire life, until 2 years ago, I never knew that you didn’t have to mow your lawn all year round. From what I think I remember, you normally have to mow your lawn in the winter in California. OrContinue reading “First Mow of the Season”
Teriyaki Chicken & Pineapple Bowls
I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for more chicken recipes. And when we don’t want to go out to a Japanese or Chinese Restaurant but still want some teriyaki chicken, I make this delicious teriyaki chicken & pineapple bowl. But if you think I just throw some chicken and pineapple in aContinue reading “Teriyaki Chicken & Pineapple Bowls”
Just Ridiculous
This evening, Steve and I were hanging out on the couch doing what we do best, watching TV. The Biggest Loser and V to be exact. Oh how we love those shows! Nothing like a good alien lizard to get your blood pumping. (“Anna” on V that is, not Jillian Michaels. I actually happen toContinue reading “Just Ridiculous”
Honey Chicken
If you’re looking for a chicken recipe, this one is amazing. Steve’s mom, Toli, gave me this recipe per Steve’s request, and I have made it many times much to his delight. If I can’t think of what to make for dinner, I usually go back to this since I know it’s a winner. Here’sContinue reading “Honey Chicken”
