In case you haven’t noticed, Tuesday is working out better for me for posting new items. So wrap your mind about checking in on Tuesdays. Remember, this is supposed to be easy and do-able. Just buy as much of these items as you can afford/have room for each week. No comparison shopping or waiting for […]
Going along with my crafty theme I found this fabulous bumper sticker. Perfecto! I’m thinking of adding it to the collection on the back of my minivan.You can buy one for yourself on etsy ($3.00! What a bargain!) If you live near me, that will make you a big copycat, but it’s funny so I’ll […]
Arabella loves to read my cookbooks and pick out things for me to make. My kids are all sugar addicts like their mother so her recipes are usually in the dessert category. A couple of weeks ago she picked out this beauty from my Cooks Country magazine that she wanted me to make as her […]
My hairdresser that I’ve been going to for eight years had a baby last June and has decided to not do hair anymore. I’m super bummed about this. She did a pretty good job with my hair but the thing I’ll miss the most is having my face waxed afterwards. She’d get my lip, sideburns […]

I started out kind of shy. I always felt incredibly nervous in a situation with people I didn’t know. The thought of introducing myself was enough to make me run away in petrified fright. I am super outgoing once I meet someone but the idea of breaking the ice has always scared me silly. At […]
Last week India and I were discussing her bedroom and the new redecoration plans (I’ll resume painting as soon as I finish writing.) Discussing her massive-amounts-of-Webkinz-all-over-the-bed, to be exact. There are a lot of them (“No Mom, only 21.”) That’s a lot of stuffed animals on one bed (And a heck of a lot of […]

Pardon me while I commit suicide. Haagen-Dazs has discontinued my favorite flavor: Fleur de Sel Caramel. Why? Why? Why? Couldn’t they at least have warned me? I would have stockpiled if only I’d known! Everything on the news has been about recessions and health care when the real issues like discontinuing the best flavor of […]
If you remember the 70s and 80s very well you’ll recall the popularity of The Blonde. Farrah Fawcett, Olivia Newton John, Christie Brinkley, Jessica/Elizabeth from Sweet Valley High, and pretty much every smiling face in Seventeen Magazine was a girl with shiny blonde hair. The brunettes in the media were represented by Joanie on Happy […]
It’s Makeup Monday and I’m here to preach the gospel of lipstick (especially long-wearing lipstick that lasts all day). If you’re a long-time reader of my blog, you’ve heard me rant about this before but I simply must insist that all women wear lipstick. Really. Unless you’re fourteen and have naturally red lips you really […]
Yes, it’s National Donut Day. Don’t you roll your eyes and assume it’s along the same lines as National Toilet Paper Day (I just made that up. But then I Googled it and it actually exists! It’s August 26th!) National Donut Day actually has a long and touching history. In 1917, Salvation Army female volunteers […]
