Cereal Milk Ice Cream

Our first house warming gift was an ice cream maker. Best. Gift. Ever. This flavour is based on the Cereal Milk ice cream made famous by Momofuku's Milk Bar

First things first

It didn't take us long to start discussing all of the things we wanted to change in our new house. The absolute most important thing? The carpet. The existing carpet in the bedrooms came straight out of the 70's. All 3 bedrooms, all different styles. We were going to extend the existing hardwood into the bedrooms but decided on a plush, cozy carpet to help us through our long winters. The installer was ready to come the minute we got the keys to the house. When I say the minute, I'm not exaggerating. He was pretty much waiting outside when Travis got the keys and by the time I arrived at the house for the first time, the old carpet was gone. We should have planned it a bit better and painted FIRST but it all worked out in the end.

There's no denying that the old carpet doesn't have style. Just not the style we are going for.

Welcome home

The idea for this blog has been floating around for a while now. After living in the little brown house on the corner for the last 15 years, it was time to pack up our two girls, two dogs, and two cats. We saw a lot of potential to make our new house our home, so why not blog about it? Renovations, decorating, cooking, BBQing, sewing, and everything else that we love . Welcome to our life at home!
