Tis the Season For a New Grill!

If you don't know they story, we owned a little grill in Hoboken, which came with us to the new house in New Jersey and stayed with us for five years. It was a good little grill but on our 7th wedding anniversary, Dave decided it was time to upgrade. After extensive research we bought a grill with the requirement that it had to fit my paella pan.

That was a good little grill and we used it often last summer grilling much fish, chicken, veggies, pizza and perfecting paella. However, in a sudden freak storm last October -- on Halloween weekend -- several tree limbs fell on that grill, crushing the cover and tipping the poor thing over. It was very sad. (Though fortunate that those limbs missed the house by mere feet.)

It was with a heavy and reluctant heart that we set forth on the purchase of yet another new grill for our new Illinois patio. March is the opening of grilling season here, so the sales were hoppin' and we were ready for the smell and taste of grilled food, once again.

Put together in our living room and wheeled out the morning after, I present to you our grill. Come by and we'll start 'er up for you!

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
