Preppy Empty Nester

I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my middle-aged years while entangled in the never-ending process of renovating an antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

Hello, I'm Katie

I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020. We relocated to Dallas and have been spending our time searching for our Forever Home. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

My town's art fair is next weekend and I can't wait. I used to run one, so anytime I can go and not have to be in charge is a good thing :-)
ReplyDeletethat mister's cooking skills are just beyond exceptional. Have you ever thought of opening a bed and breakfast? with your decorating talents and his cooking skills, I think you have a winning combo (sista could be the inn director, looks like she would make a good director), and of course the official welcome mascot is none other than Mr. Chowdah.,......I think you should consider this new career path (and I want to be your first guest).
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this home; decor, layout, modern aspect and especially that large opening to the beautiful back yard. Amazing!

ReplyDeleteAny chance your lovely husband would be willing to share some of his recipes? Everything he cooks looks so yummy!!!
Those tee shirts are the BEST! Hope that vendor will be on display at our Ceaft Fair in a couple of weeks.

I love these types of fairs, looks like a good time had by all!
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had a grand time at the festival. In the end, Chowdah came away with the best prize of all - lots of hugs. I enjoyed taking the tour with all of you. Until next time :)
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful those big old houses are!! Oooh that Chowdah, I would be loving on him too if I could. What a great dad!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for showing us this beautiful impressions.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous weekend with Sista! I love the beautiful glass beads and especially the description of them as "light as air but tough as nails". Hahaha! Those are two qualities to which I aspire.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are always so lovely! Do you mind sharing the details of your cabbage leaf dishes? I have noticed them in several posts and they charming!
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun tour! I felt like I was your "Sista" and love how you two love to shop and pal around.
Chowdah is a cutie.
