Welcome to our little space of the web.

After buying a cute little mill house in Five Points, renovating it and thinking we would never live anywhere else we decided to move. To a rancher. A pink rancher. So not us. But, it will be, with time, elbow grease and good contractors! From the first time we walked in the front door we knew we were home. The new house is right around the corner from my parent's house where I grew up. We are so excited for Matthew and Charlotte to grow up here, riding bikes, going to the pool, playing in the woods... my childhood was filled with freedom and wonder allowed by a safe neighborhood that I could explore and make my place in the world. I am thrilled we can give that to our children.

These days our blog is filled with the adventures of Mateo and Charlotte...mixed in with a few home projects and recipes. But mostly the kids take front and center. Join us on the adventure!

It's Bike Time!

I have been wanting to get back on the bike for a while and we finally have all of the pieces in place to make it a family affair! 

Bikes tuned. Check. 
Bike trailer for kids. Check.
Helmet for Matthew. Check. 
Vehicle to haul it all. Check. 

I even convinced Matthew that wearing a helmet is COOL! 



So we got it all hooked up. 



I took it on a few test runs and apparently forgot how incredibly hilly our neighborhood is! 

Almost from the first minute Matthew was screaming that he wanted to get in the car!  And the fact that it is all downhill out of our neighborhood completely freaked him out. Thankfully Paul was following me so I could let Matthew get in the car. 




So it ended like this. Kind of like Froome and Contador in this year's Tour. So so sad. 


I can only hope that he warms up to biking. I will be a very very sad mommy if I can't ride bikes with my kids :)
