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.

Katie, the Nantucket home is truly a dream. I am going to check out all of the links, I love apple recipes and am always in search of something new. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope Chili's cone days are numbered - and I hope I won't be in that situation with Rosie. We "think" she ate a mini white pumpkin last night. We stupidly let her play with one and forgot about it. All we found later was the stem. Ugh.... I also started watching A Million Little Things and I am enjoying it so far. We also started watching that show, Manifest which is also really good. I normally don't watch a lot of TV but we are in the Bachelor off season time...lol. Enjoy your weekend!

I need the soup made with broth because I've had too much of the apple category!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad Captain Lee and Kate are back at Below Deck...not a fan of the other version of this show. I have a white kitchen, not by choice, it was here when we bought our townhome. I would paint them in a minute or just rip them out and start over!
ReplyDeleteThe Durrells in Corfu and 800 Words are two of my favorites. xo Laura
ReplyDeletePoor Chili. Glad she is on the mend. I know she will be thrilled when that cone comes off. Look out Chowdah!
ReplyDeleteKatie, We watched the last episode of 800 Words on Wednesday. I was pleased how they ended it. I will miss those crazy Weldians but at least we have the delightful Durrells to pick up the slack. We also watch Bed of Roses on Acorn but it isn't as good as 800 Words.
ReplyDeleteLoved all your links. Not really sure we will get a leaf season in Ohio where I live. It is still in the 80's. Crazy weather for sure.
Happy Weekend! Oh my, more house and food porn plus book and TV ideas . . . I may never get to yoga. :-\
ReplyDeleteI want to watch Million Little Things - it sounds good! I had no idea about sneakers and the foot pain. I guess the key is just making sure whatever shoe you wear fits right. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh my... we love the Durells and 800 Words!! There is almost too much to take in here, but the homes are gorgeous, the food delicious and the books do sound interesting. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteGosh Katie - so so much to comment on. I really appreciate the post on American homes and décor - I love the use of wood, the porches, the lightness used in the décor. The photos of New England are so beautiful as well - it is somewhere I'd love to visit at this time of year. It is funny you should feature the Highclere (Downton) photo - I just started re-watching it from season 1 today. When I tire of modern life it restores the balance haha. Very much looking forward to the film. I love the fact you've watched the Durrells as well - such an amusing TV series, full of delightful scenery of course. Have you watched Poldark by the way? I hope Chili's remaining days with the cone of shame aren't too arduous for him, poor little thing. Joanne x
