If I could rip out walls and windows and re-do my entire kitchen I would. But I can’t, so I won’t. The next best thing is messing around with what I have. So be it. When we bought our house there was no hardware on any of the cabinets. Still isn’t. I’m going to change [...]
I have a love hate relationship with laundry. Often I find the rhythmic back and forth of sorting, transferring from washer to dryer soothing.

I’m a winter hibernator in general, but one thing I continually enjoy through the cold months is cooking and baking. Posting some of my yummy [...]
There are so many blog posts piling up in my head & schedule! I want to get it all out before I forget, but yesterday I tried to copycat an amazing soup from one of our favorite local diners. It turned out so well that we scraped the pot CLEAN! Having mentioned that in various [...]
Once in a blue moon I get a hankering for some jewelry. If you’ve ever met or known me IRL, you know that I am not a high-maintenance make-up and jewels type. It’s a pretty rare thing that I go searching for a piece of jewelry. The last time I got new jewelry was for [...]
I raved about my love for Shutterfly and now I can rave about their sister-company TinyPrints! It’s been a little while since I sat down and twitter partied, but in one of my last forays, I won a notebook from TinyPrints. Like Shutterfly, most of TinyPrints’ offerings can be personalized with photos, but seeing how [...]
