Last weekend, we had our house blessed for the New Year by our priest. It's one of my favorite Orthodox traditions. It was also a good reason for me to clean the house!
So I thought while the house was (briefly!) spic and span, I'd take some photos so those of you on the other side of the country can get a sneak peek into our home! (Those of you on this side of the country are welcome to see it in person any time at all!)

And that's all, folks. It's not much, but it's home, and just right for us right now.
What do you love about your home?
Oh muh gosh, your house looks like stuff on Pinterest!
