To start with, here are my basic stats: My name is Julia. I’m a 30-something female who has 50% custody of a Boxer dog named Delta. I live in the Greater Portland area of Maine.

This blog started out as a chronicle of my adventures in home ownership with my (now ex) husband. But as life shifted and changed so did the focus of my writing. I suppose you could call this a lifestyle blog. I’m not particularly “stylish” but I am writing about life. The topics evolve, some coming into sharper focus while others fade into the background.

I hope to strike a balance between raw honesty that encourages you to look a bit deeper at your own life and smart mouthed humor that will keep you entertained. The road of life has many twists and turns – won’t you join me while I wind this way?
