    This weekend, I crafted like a crazy person. I think it kind of scared my husband. Two of the three projects turned out. This is a picture of the garland that did not. Feast your eyes. I think it may have had a few too many flutes of champagne. (Yes, that is really how it…

    Well, I might not be Martha Stewart, but I trim a good tree, if I don’t say so myself. Here are my standbys for making a tree that sparkles and reflects my personal style.

    Lately, the weather has been perfect, 60 degrees and sunny. I’ve been running around town without a coat and talking walks with Ellie. It’s been lovely, but it has kept me from feeling the Christmas spirit. Well, that stops today. My tree is trimmed. The decorations are up, and here’s my official winter wishlist. If my list…

    In November, we talk a lot about giving thanks. And trust me, I have a lot to be thankful for, but sometimes its just as important to send thanks. I first saw homemade cards on Cupcakes and Cashmere a while ago and was taken with the idea of making my own. I loved how modern and…

    Whenever I feel a little out of control or off kilter, I go on a full organizational rant. It’s classic type-A behavior, and I always feel so much better after cleaning things up. I came across a pin on Pinterest talking about “40 bags in 40 days.” Basically, you clean one space a day removing a…

    Things have been crazier than usual around here. Between work and the baby, I haven’t had any time to post to the blog, which is sort of killing me, because I have 8 billion things I’d like to share with you and am running out of time to do it. See, I started scheduling out…

    When I wrote last year’s fall list, I didn’t know I was having a baby. A few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. Between the nausea and rapid changes, I was exhausted. I think I did about two things on that list. Last fall was both exciting and terrifying and that might be why I’m…

    Maybe it’s all this daytime t.v., but I’ve caught the D.I.Y. bug. Trust me, this came as a huge shock to me too. For the blog, I’ve decided to try my hand at crafting with a project a month. The first project I decided to tackle was inspired by Clinton’s Craft Corner on The Chew –…

    A month ago, I posted some of our baby essentials. While I still love all of those products, I have a few updated items to share with you. All of these things are helping to make our lives a little easier. 1. The Wubbanub – It has ridiculous name, but don’t let that discourage you. Basically,…
