Its the M day again! That dreaded begining of another work/school week I hope that all of you made the most of your weekend. We went downtown to watch over 20,000 lanterns be lit and take off. They were handed out for free, and we all launched them together. It was so amazing. Sometimes IRead more
Well, we’re coming up on the busiest season home making has to offer. Between the baking, the decorating, gift wrapping, costume making and entertaining- the next three months are going to be hard on moms everywhere. I for one find that there are a few little rituals I engage in during the busy times, thatRead more
Apparently I’m feeling a little strange this week. My two picks are a little more out of the typical “craft” ring than normal. But hey- that’s what I’m here for! Alright- now who’s ready for 2 picks!?!
Happy First Monday of Autumn! Can you believe that we are already ¾ of the way through with 2012? I feel like I am just now becoming used to writing 2012 on my checks… and 2013 is fast approaching! I for one am meeting it with a mixture of joy and apprehension. These upcoming 3Read more
I love Ikea. There, I said it. I’m an Ikea-aholic. I live about 3 hours away from the nearest one, and still the Swedish design warehouse was the main source of furniture throughout my college years. The stuff was cheap, looked good, and lasted 3 moves. Alas, as an adult, some of those great bargainsRead more
I had no plans for a Wanna Be Wednesday this week. I’ve been plagued with headaches and feeling very busy. This one segment, I thought, I could just leave out this week. I was wrong. Yesterday I got a disturbing phone call from a family member, we’ll call her Lynne. She was upset and cryingRead more
So far this week I have been stuck in A LOT of meetings. That means, of course, lot’s of phone internet browsing =D I’ve stumbled across so many great things I don’t even know what to do about it. I’ll just have to start by sharing 2 of them with you! Alright- now who’s readyRead more

A few weeks ago, my landlord removed the old deck off our back door and put up a new one. The people he hired to do this job, however, neglected to remove the pile of twisted old wood from the previous deck. Well, for a couple weeks I stewed about it – angry, thinking aboutRead more
Since beginning my journey on Who I Want To Be, I’ve spent a lot of time in reflection. I review myself, give myself criticism, praise myself, forgive myself, destress myself, relax myself…. seeing a trend? But this week my focus has been outside of my own self. My darling husband has been such a help since I’ve knownRead more
Oh man, looking down the barrel of another work week. How has everyone been? I think officially all of the schools in the US are in session now- how is everyone doing with that? I’ve just sat down from a 4 hour session of make-ahead cooking. Boy am I tired! But hopefully this means lunchesRead more
I’ll admit it. For all of his flaws (and mine) my hubby is awesome. He is kind and smart, attentive and supportive. So, every now and than I like to give him a little something to show him that I care. Nothing too big, just enough to let him know that I was thinking aboutRead more
