As I mentioned in my outfit post the other day, last Friday afternoon we met with our new friends at their dock and took their boat out for the evening. It was the first time we’d been “on” the lake since moving here last Christmas. And while the weather and water are almost warm enough …
Happy Memorial Day
When we were looking at houses to buy up here in Lake Arrowhead, the house we actually bought was very low on my list of homes to see due to the exterior photos in the real estate listing. I didn’t like it at all, and in fact, almost skipped it entirely. But as soon as …
The husband and I have upped our weekly walks and hikes to almost daily now and if you follow me on Instagram, Facebook, or read my weekly Instagram updates, you’ll see I’ve started a new series/feature called “Houses in the Woods”, wherein I post photos of houses in our new woodsy location, Lake Arrowhead. Since …
For taking walks, I bundle up like there’s no tomorrow. And usually, because I wear fingerless gloves OR I keep taking my damn hand OUT OF my glove to take photos, my fingertips feel like they’re going to fall off by the time we get back. And then I usually say something ridiculous to the …
Once or twice a week the husband and I go exploring in our new land and last week it was to Cedar Glen, which much like everything else, is about a five minute drive, and it is adorable. We stopped at the local hardware store to pick up a few supplies {snow shovel, gloves, kitchen …
Exactly one week after we moved into our new house, it snowed. I may have mentioned this already in my Sunday Instagram re-caps, but we woke up to a winter wonderland, and it was gorgeous. And what we thought was a BIG SNOW, considering it snowed all day and night, was actually just a light …
We’ve spent the past two days with a team of movers, packing and loading and packing a bit more, and now we are officially at our new house by the lake with the dogs, just waiting for the trucks to arrive with our stuff. EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!! We are really excited!!!!! Even though our process was fairly …
…his and hers snow boots… Crocs Duck Boots for her & Slip On Duck boots for himFor the past 45 days, we have been in limbo. Getting a loan to buy a house these days is kind of a ridiculous process, so even when it was almost surely a done deal, we held our breath …
In the midst of all the commotion in our lives at the moment, we constantly find ourselves trying not to become too attached to outcomes. At the moment, this thinking mostly revolves around not only the close of escrow of our possible new house in Lake Arrowhead but also getting attached to the “idea” of …
As I mentioned in my last Lake Arrowhead post, the husband and I went for another visit on Tuesday to check out the house we loved one more time. We wanted to see if we would get the same great feeling for it that we did initially and to make sure we really wanted to …
When we were contemplating living in Lake Arrowhead and looking at real estate online, the concept of living by the actual lake and having lake rights, didn’t really rank high on our list of must-haves. We are not boat people and weren’t interested in becoming boat people or being part of the lake community. In …
If you’re following my House Hunting Series, you’ll already know that in our quest to find and buy our dream house, the husband and I have begun looking about an hour or two outside of LA. We really, in our heart of hearts, don’t want to leave LA {A. we both grew up here B. …
