About Us

Sonoma County, California
We are two teachers in love who took on an enormous renovation project over three years ago. In the words of the inspector, "This house has been abused." When we're not educating young minds or working on our place, we are busy with many other interests. Dominic could blog with authority on the following topics: zombie infestations, home-brewing, origami, medieval recreation, and surfing. As for me, my blogging repertoire could include these topics: breastfeeding, guitar for the musically disinclined, bellydancing, and the quest for the perfect matzah ball. This is our story.

Finding a Happy Place



In his own way, Dominic also had to “find a happy place” in order to cope with the massive endeavor in front of us. One of the things that drew us to this place, for better and for worse, was the big, wild yard that borders open space behind our property. We imagined relaxing with margaritas in the backyard at some future date, but had to settle for small steps at backyard beautification for the time being. I thought it was cute that Dominic’s very first project was a small planter box for vegetables. Who cares if we can’t live in our house yet? We’ve got zucchini!
