My usual first post of the week is a recipe, but I’ve been thinking about switching things up a little bit and making this (usually) Monday (yes, I know it’s Tuesday today) post more about things I’ve tried and liked. It might be a recipe, a new product or a life hack that I’ve unearthed …
Friday, finally. I feel like Spring in the Northeast doesn’t have a beginning. It has a battle to the death with winter and eventually wins. Wednesday was beautiful, sunny and warm.

Let’s start the weekend off with a bang and play a round of Buy It, Spy It or DIY It – Urban Outfitters. Wait, you’ve never played? It’s so fun. I pick out a bunch of stuff I want for my house and then you guess if I’m going to Buy It, Spy It (find it …
I feel like throughout the winter I have had a deficiency of creative juices. As spring starts to approach, I’m getting back in that crafty mood. I’m not a wreath person (I say that every time I make a wreath and I’ve made a lot of wreaths. (See here, here, here, here, here, here and here), …
