We Bought A Zoo
…Or should I say A COTTAGE????
Yes folks, what I’ve been hinting about and losing sleep over for the past week is THIS!
We’ve been in talks with our real estate agent, banker and the seller of this little piece of paradise for the past week and today our offer was accepted!
I won’t bore you with a ton of pictures but I absolutely LOVE that Jeff caught the look on my face when I saw the quaint and character filled teeny kitchen!
Now the stressful part of the process begins!
The internet out at the cottage is painfully slow which is why I don’t post when I’m out there so I’m just going to pick up from today.
Breakfast was a bowl of multigrain cheerios with banana, blubes, rasps, soy milk and a spoonful of dark chocolate wonderful!
We turned on “We Bought A Zoo” to watch during breakfast (WHICH by the way is a fantastic movie and we’ve cried during it both times we’ve watched it!) and that’s when we got the call from our real estate agent giving us the good news!
Thus, now Jeff and I say we bought a zoo when technically we bought a cottage
Lunch was a succulent turkey burger and some kale chips!
Being that it’s Father’s Day we also took my folks out to Original Joes for some bar food!
I had the shanghai noodle bowl again.
And we all shared the ice cream cake for dessert!
Happy Fathers Day Pops!
Well now I’m off…I’ve got a wicked scone recipe to type up for tomorrow.
So now you know why I was daydreaming of castles and sand between my toes









Yay….congratulations….so exciting…and thanks for finally sharing! I thought maybe you were having a baby or something….lol! But the cottage is just as adorable!
hahah nope! No baby! I’m more content with a cottage at this point in my life
Thanks!!

Thats so exciting, love the look of the cottage and i want to see the kitchen too
Congrats again and ps: i frickin loved that movie, totally cried more then once

The kitchen is TEENY but we have plans to make the space much more efficient! It’s so lovely!
Yes I’m always a mess when I watch it…There’s snot flying everywhere!
Very cool, quaint and cute! This is something that everyone dreams of, a cottage at the lake! Lucky you! Can I come for a weekend?
