It’s time we sat down and had a chat. You know you’re not getting any younger, right? Even if you’re 22, you know your lovely, wrinkle-free skin won’t last forever. The older you get, the more important nice skin becomes. So here’s what you need to do: Stay out of the sun. I know, I […]
This is one of my most popular posts and I like to repost it every year in case you’ve got a houseful of bored (hence, annoying) kids and need to know how to keep them occupied without relying on TVs/vieogames/ipads to babysit them. This is a great way to keep… Read More
To those of you who have been wanting to know how to make the white sandwich bread that I showed a couple of days ago; I have some good news and some bad news. First the good news: you can make this in a bread machine (well, the dough part, at least). Yay! I love […]
Hmm, no you might actually curse me. But tell you, I must. Costco now carries the most delicious candy ever: chocolate caramel macadamia clusters. I love chocolate. I love caramel. I love macadamia nuts (well, all nuts really. Except walnuts which make my tongue swell.) I was foreordained to love these. Mister bought me […]
Being prepared isn’t just about food and water! Toilet Paper is something every single person needs and nobody wants to run out of. If you don’t feel like buying toilet paper then make sure you’ve got a lot of leaves in your backyard! Toilet paper is bulky so it can be a pain to store […]
You need to read yesterday’s post before you read this one. No wait, this one stands on its own. I went to the library to return books last night (they ought to name that place after me, due to all the money they’ve gotten from me over the years. Most recently from the DVD of […]
Remember to vote for me EVERY DAY so I can win that snazzy new craft desk from the Original Crafbox. (clickie here. It takes five seconds.) And if that desk weren’t cool enough, take a look at this: It’s a combination drink holder/trash can (something this smart had to have been invented by a woman.) […]
This is a dip for fruit. It’s probably well known to many of you (minus the Oreos) as there are not a ton of fruit dips out there. I love to combine all sorts of different textures of food, I thought the sweet crunch of Oreos would combine well with… Read More
This time of year I’m reminded that I don’t really care for pie. I kind of like chocolate-y pies, and some lemon pies. To me the mystery of the universe is pumpkin pie. pie + vegetables = not a chance I don’t care how much whipped cream you slather on top, it still tastes healthy […]
I really, really love Instagram (you can find me @heyhildie). I used to fight it because I hated the idea that all my pictures have to be square. Now I accept square-ness (and I know how to get past that if I need to). Instagram is kind of like Facebook… Read More
Hey all you “day-in-the-lifers”, make sure to finish up your picture-taking today, so you’ll be ready to post it all tomorrow. We want good stuff too. Not you perfectly-coiffed wearing high heels while you vacuum. Let’s see some nitty gritty!
Concealer is probably the cosmetic item I write about the most. I’ve got pretty dark circles under my eyes and they are the bane of my existence. Even if I’m just running to the store at midnight or going to workout, I don’t leave the house without concealer. When I… Read More Unless you’re seven years […]
We woke up confused and jet-lagged on Sunday, meaning to go to church. But the Mormon church that Mister used to go to was a good 45 minutes away and all the Anglican churches have their lovely services beginning at 10:30 or 11. Since we had a walking tour scheduled… Read More
We’re back from two fun-filled weeks in the Beehive State. And when I say fun-filled, I mean overflowing with fun every single day; up-til-1:30-every-night fun; so much fun that being home again is a complete let-down (am I the only one who thinks of breastmilk every time they hear that term?) I can’t help but […]
