#NaBloPoMo Make It
I’m happy to say that I am participating in my first #NaBloPoMo – that stands for “National Blog Posting Month.” The idea is that each day for the entire month of Feburary, I will be writing one post that is generally about this month’s topic: Make. The idea of writing up a post every single…
Read MoreFashion Friday – Layer it on Thick
It doesn’t matter what season it is, I love to layer my clothes. But with the ridiculously cold weather we’ve been having here lately, being able to have on multiple layers of clothes has been the only thing to keep me from freezing to death. I’ve even been double layering coats! And since I never…
Read More#OurProject52 – Blue
This week’s #OurProject52 is all about blue. It’s probably really weird of me, but the very first thing I think of when I hear the word blue is the song “Shpadoinkle Day” from Cannibal: the Musical. The sky is blue and all the leaves are green. The sun’s as warm as a baked potato. I…
Read MoreBooking It- A Year of Reading
One of the things I am wanting to accomplish this year is to do a little more reading. It’s something I have always loved – even further back than my “Book It” days. I miss Book It. They need a Book It program for adults, where if you read a certain amount, you get something…
Read More#OurProject52 – Guilty Pleasure
I thought long and hard about this week’s topic for #OurProject52. A guilty pleasure is something that you enjoy, but also feel guilty about. For a lot of people this is something like eating junk food, but I decided a long time ago that I wouldn’t feel guilty about eating what I enjoy. For me,…

Read MoreCleaning Out & Decluttering
It seems like the beginning of each year is a great time to purge old items that you don’t use anymore. This year (or last year now, I guess), I started just after the holidays. I had to find a place to put that great new stuff that I got (thanks everybody), so it seemed…
Read MoreFriday Favorites – Industrial Chic
My friend Natasha of The Houseful of Nicholes just bought a house, so my social media feeds have been full of updates on her progress of designing and decorating her home. That got me thinking – my husband and I don’t own our own house yet, but wouldn’t it be great to know what style…
Read MoreProject 52 – Not a Morning Person
This week’s Project 52 theme is morning. And let me tell you how much I hate mornings- especially weekday mornings. Mornings are the time of day that you have to get out of a nice warm bed and get ready to go to work. My biggest problem with the morning is probably that it doesn’t…
