Today we arrive in Boston! WooT! Fun stuff – you know, like unloading the moving truck. I can’t wait to start exploring the city!

It’s true! We’re moving! – The Flourishing Abode

We are moving out of state – and pretty suddenly! Here’s the quick story: about a week ago we had no idea this would all be happening, and now in less than two weeks we will be living in Kentucky, Lord willing! So for a few weeks my shops and blog are going to be “on vacation” while I stuff cardboard boxes and probably generally run around like a chicken with its head cut off. A happy chicken with its head cut off, that is! For now, I will leave you with some photos of the area we are moving … Read more

It was a lovely day: WinterFest 2012 – The Flourishing Abode

Yes, snow! This is my little girl playing in the snow the day before WinterFest. We decorated the walls with twinkle lights and snowflakes we made. Why not combine storage and decor? I kept bows in a big bowl on the book shelf. 🙂 My little one love to help stir while I am cooking, she’s my little helper! For dinner on WinterFest-Eve, I made Curried Butternut Squash Soup and little poppyseed ham and swiss sandwiches. Soup and sandwiches make great winter meals! My husband, Tim, makes breakfast on WinterFest … this year he made blini, a thin Russian pancake … Read more

We explored Chinatown last week and tried some delicious new kinds of food … there was a strange bulbous brown thing on top of one of the dishes that turned out to be some sort of delicious marinated egg. Plus, I finally got to try bubble tea .. in mango, my favorite fruit! Our little girl turned 5 within a few days of arriving in Boston, and her main present from us was that … Read more
