But with our ant problem, we couldn’t fully unpack our kitchen or bathroom, and I couldn’t feel settled. And I was exhausted; Mike has been […]

Tweet Things are looking up here in Miami after almost a week of settling pains and overcast skies. Yesterday, the sun played peek-a-boo, so Lisa Swift, Max and I headed to the beach to actually put our feet in the wet sand. It was muggy and glorious.

Tweet So we thought we’d be getting away from the food-oriented posts, since leaving everything-is-fried New Orleans.
