Have you seen this desk? It’s pretty much the coolest thing around and I want one really badly. You have no idea how many crafting supplies I have stashed in various parts of my house. Wouldn’t it be nice to put them all in one place? Well, there is a way for me to get […]
So gas prices go down, the stock market climbs a smidge and suddenly there’s no motivation for getting you food storage anymore? And after I wrote that motivational post last week? (well, it got Tiburon into gear! Go Tib!) So Harlene was my only good girl! Because this is so very important, I’m giving you […]
This is the most hesitant I’ve ever been about posting anything on my blog. But because I am all about honesty (on my own terms), I am going to admit something to you. My bedroom and closet are a terrifying nightmare. As in messy. I’ve been methodically trying to deep clean and organize my house. […]
Ok, Ok, so it’s Tuesday. But some of you had a few questions about concealer that I thought I’d answer. Concealer isn’t a necessity. You might not even need it. It’s just for covering up odds and ends on your face that are less desirable. But if, like me, you have chronic dark circles or […]
Here are some small but important things that have been on my mind lately: Get swimsuits in the early spring and pay full price. Sadly, I have ignored this good advice in the past and have paid for it come June. It’s a hard pill to swallow for a deal-lover like me (I hate paying […]
The package guy (AKA the UPS/ Fedex man) was most bounteous yesterday. I received not one, but two packages. Not just ordinary packages either. Packages full of food. Free food! A couple of weeks ago I bought a jar of salsa at SuperTarget and the lid just didn’t seem to be screwed on right. I […]
Cookies are my thing. I can do cakes pretty well, and my pies are decent too. But cookies are where it’s at for me. I love the relative ease of cookies. Some are complicated, but most are a two-bowl affair that can be in the oven in less than fifteen minutes. They’re quick to bake […]
Dear Newly Engaged Lovebirds, Congratulations on getting engaged! The first question everyone asks is, “when will the wedding be?” By this point your Pinterest boards are probably bursting at the seams with wedding ideas and you’re going to have to narrow your options down. The thought of when to have… Read More
I decided not to go with the Mountain Dew cupboard pulls (I know, such a pity). Instead I’m thinking of these (I need all the shininess I can get so I’m going with chrome. Mission impossible, by the way. All cabinet hardware comes in nickel, these days. If that’s not what you want, too bad.) […]
This sweet little baby turned nine today. Arabella Claire was my favorite birth ever; five hours from start to finish (my fastest), a kick-A epidural, and she was one of the few babies that I didn’t know ahead of time what gender she was (sometimes I like to know and sometimes I like a surprise. […]
Is it just me or has the whole world gone crazy for eyelash extensions and coloring? I’m hearing about this stuff all over the place and it’s not cheap. I don’t get it; eyelashes are just a thin line of hair. Yes, they might emphasize the eye but I can think of a dozen things […]
On my iGoogle page I have a thing called “Places to See” which is, surprisingly, interesting little scenes of places all around the world. So far the place that appeals to me most is Seychelles. It’s a group of islands off the coast of Africa (north of Madagascar). Second on my list is India. […]
When I was growing up if I saw something European at the grocery store I would almost always buy it. This was back in the day when Evian was considered exotic and nobody had even heard of Nutella. Nowadays you can find American knock-offs of most foreign products but my heart still goes pitter-pat when […]
Have you ever had fabric that was just a little too white? Maybe you’d prefer an item to be ivory or off-white and it’s stark white instead? Or maybe you want something to look a little more antique than it currently does. This happened to me and I looked to… Read More
