We had tossed up the idea of either hiring contractors to remodel the kitchen versus doing it ourselves. At first, I was like - where do you want me to sign? - but then after careful consideration and a look at our budget, we decided to tackle the project ourselves.
We made it a point to visit Ontario for a few weeks to attend a wedding and catch up with our family and friends. We feel fortunate to have both our families near. During our visit, we made sure to meet with everyone and had a great time with them.
I have an update on my backyard edible garden project. Initially, I had planned to build thousands of planter boxes, hang raspberry vines from the roof, and use every workable space in my backyard for the garden. However, I have realized that I want some space to lounge and sip margaritas or lemonade in the sun. Therefore, I have decided to scale back the garden and allocate some space for my relaxation activities.
