Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! Hubby and I went camping with my brother in law and his GF.

I have successfully redeemed my camping luck streak.Read more
What happens when you can’t find just the right cookie cutter? You Google “How to make a cookie cutter”. And if you’re like me – you are delivered to tens of search results that are too difficult, too expensive, or require too much time for glue to dry. That is what happened to me inRead more
This month, I decided to try the Foodie Pen Pal program by The Lean Green Bean. Basically, you sign up, and you receive the info to a pen pal. You put together a foodie box for them worth ~$15, and you send it their way by mid month. Meanwhile, someone else is doing the sameRead more
Boy howdy. Its difficult to follow the amazing guest post from last week’s Who I want to Be Wednesday, but I guess I’ll try. A couple weeks ago in this segment I highlighted how I manage my stress. I talked about trying to leave my trouble’s in other’s hands and not worry so much. ItsRead more
This one’s a twofer. Yup- I got behind so now I’m catching up! MY feet. Lets see, right now, I’m in my office. At my place of work. All gussied up into “business” attire. And I’m barefoot. I have a french self-done manicure and my nails could use a little trim. I take my shoesRead more

Painting my fingernails is one of my guilty pleasures. My husband thinks its a waste of time but I feel so much more “put together” when my nails are well manicured and glossy. When I’m feeling *really* into the spa moment, I do my toes too. =D I can’t, however, afford to get them done.Read more
You know, I started writing this whole rant about all of the the things that annoy me on FB, but then I realized they were all based around one thing. Passive Caring. All of the politics spouting, the starving infant photos, the “like if you are against animal abuse!” images, the “post this to yourRead more
Today I stumbled on this AMAZING challenge set forth by Iuliana at Hip2Thrift. I’ve decided to participate, so enjoy learning about me as we go along! We moved around a fair bit while I was a child. I didn’t have any siblings until I was 10, so I always had a room to myself. Also,Read more
Well hello there! I know what you’re thinking. I’m late. Sigh, its true. I just couldn’t bring my butt to write this post yesterday (you know, Tuesday? As in 2 Pick Tuesday?) but I swear I’ll try and do better. Can you believe now its already Wednesday? I don’t know about you all but myRead more
Hey everyone, its Wednesday again. The day I reflect on my journey towards Who I Want to Be. This week I have the distinct pleasure of introducing Bethany from Sprinkles and Allergies to you all.

I know, I’ve been an awful little blogger. Sweet Sharing Monday is up late- and so is this week’s tutorial. I don’t even have a good reason, really- just that I’ve been frantically trying to sew two renaissance costumes before hubby ad I take my brother and sister to the Ren Fest this week. So,Read more
