I was searching through the photos on my computer today and when I opened the “blog” folder, I realized how much I miss Domesticated Artists. In the past nine months (or so), we moved, both started new jobs, and we’re excited to announce that we have a little one on the way! Caroline Eloise will …

happy halloween!
NO excuses. Life’s been busy lately and I’ve lacked blogging inspiration. Tonight, we’re watching The Nightmare Before Christmas, eating fancy grilled cheese (cheese compliments of the new Whole Foods!), and waiting desperately for trick-or-treaters! We’re finally in a real neighborhood and we’re excited to have some tiny goblins and fairy princesses on the step! Happy …
so we accidentally adopted a cat.
Meet Roosevelt Clonts. Rosie, for short. You may have read about her here, back when we called her Fernando. Let me explain. I fed a street cat at old house on Wayne Street and she eventually decided we were her new family. After we had her spayed (through this amazing TNR program), she became super …
super old people.
When Forrest asked me if I wanted to go to his TEN year high school reunion, I laughed. Yeah, of course I wanted to go, but man we’re getting old! My ten year reunion is next year, so I’m right there with him. High school was great and all, but I wouldn’t go back for …
makin’ dirt.
There’s no denying it, Forrest and his dad are good at building stuff. Also, digging up dead plants, but that’s another story. Here they are piecing together a compost bin for our backyard with old pallets! Awesome. Maybe this compost will be the answer to all of our grass and plant problems! Oh, and …
Congratulations!
My oldest friend Lauren and her husband Keith are expecting a baby in September! I am SO excited. Lauren’s aunts and sister helped me throw a baby shower to celebrate. We had such fun and Lauren got a lot of fabulous baby gear! That’s a win-win, my friends. I can’t wait to see Lauren as …
summertime
Well, we’ve been at the beach with my family for a bit. Sadly, these four are my best photos from the week. Guess I was too busy doing nothing. 🙂 <3, Liz
new house and a pop-up
Well, we’re officially homeowners again! We closed on our new house last week and when the floor refinishers are through sanding and sealing (later this week), we can begin the actual process of moving in!! Sunday night, we had a few friends over to check out the new digs. Forrest set up a little pop-up …
I not dead. Like the book.
Okay, I can explain. Or at least, I can throw excuses around. I haven’t posted since April, and while that may be inexcusable, life has been crazy lately. Here’s the recap. We sold the house! And then we had to pack it all up! I said goodbye to my friends and students at PES.. ..and got …
CHAIRity- get it?
The new exhibit at the Columbia Museum of Art is chairs. It’s really cool- some are very old and regal, others are super mod. Forrest was invited to take a few photos of donors sitting in the chairs, so his photos are hanging right outside the actual exhibit! Very excite! On Friday, we gussied up …
