Our blog chronicles the lives of two thirty-somethings living and loving in Oakland. We talk a lot about food, wine, travel and our house - a 1916 Craftsman in a part of town that was once described as "up and coming."

MISSING TOFINO

Authors: Becky Caudill

I'm sick so I'm whiny, and I'm missing Tofino where it's okay to wear leggings and wellies and funny hats and no one looks twice at you. And fires are an every day thing, and there's a hot tub, and you can hear the sound of the ocean waves outside the house. Since I can't be there in person, I thought I'd share (a lot) more...

W(H)INING ABOUT STORAGE

Authors: Becky Caudill

So, the lease is signed and we're locked in for our condo move. A huge weight has been lifted from my mind and now we can focus on packing and getting ready for the move and the sale of the house. Well, that and obsessing about decorating the new place, of course.
I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit worried about storage. Our...

PLAYING TOURIST: WASHINGTON DC

Authors: Becky Caudill

We're in Virginia this week for work. Well rather, Alan's here for work and I tagged along since my best friend lives here. Since I already work remotely from my team, it's not a huge stretch to work remotely from across the country. My boss is currently in India, so the three hours I gain over the west coast actually helps...

CONDOCAUDILL

Authors: Becky Caudill

I had planned on writing a post today about frustrating and unfruitful our search for our new home has been, but then I got distracted with work and stopped obsessing. Well, for a minute.
Every morning I've been scouring the ads on Craigslist and sending Alan anything that passed my test - it must have two bedrooms, laundry in...

ON A COLD WINTER'S MORN

Authors: Becky Caudill

Wrapping up our daily walk on the beach yesterday, I looked out across the horizon and saw angry, black clouds approaching the shore.
"We're in for a big storm," I said.
Late at night the rains came, and the winds batted the trees to and fro. Snow was washed from the rooftops and walkways. At 4:30 a.m. I woke to the sound of...

STOCKING STUFFER IDEAS

Authors: Becky Caudill

I was talking with a friend about stocking stuffers and how she never knows what to buy. I really, really, really love stocking stuffers. It's actually one of my favorite parts of Christmas. It's a great opportunity to buy things that aren't big ticket items, and you can be a bit more creative because stocking stuffers...
