I love the Christmas season. I am one of those crazy people who actually loves the chaos of Black Friday shopping, and I enjoy finding the right gift for each of my people. If you missed it, 10 on the 10th was all about the holidays, and you can read about gifting there. You have …
Ok, let’s get the weather report out of the way. Friday and Saturday, we had highs in the high 50s (~14C). It’s almost like when you’re emerging from winter. In fact, I spotted some of my hyacinths peeping out of the mulch! I think it’s supposed to cool off this week, but I’m not holding …

It’s a little early for another round of Would Your Rather, but everyone seems to like them so here we go! Remember that Roman calendar? Well, December would have been the 10th month.

Every other Monday one of the three selects an inspiration piece …

A few years ago, we started a new family tradition. If you’ve been reading the blog for any time, you know I love Newfields and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Several years ago, Winterlights was added as a holiday must-do. And, we have loved going with the entire family for most of those years. This …
I know the holiday season started last week, but I’m a bit of a slow starter here at Haus der Mitte. I did pack away almost all of the pumpkins. They have to be lugged up to the attic. Last year, when we put Christmas decor away, I relied on my sons to help. And, …
The weather has changed quite a bit since last month! We’ve had several heavy frosts and even a few snowflakes. The leaves are all gone from the trees in our yard and from most of the trees around us. It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving has come and gone here in the States. I did quite …
