I’m getting ready for Thanksgiving. I know, everyone else in blogland is getting ready for Christmas already. But I really love Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday. I love the food and the not having to buy presents. And family time, too. But mostly the food. This year I am going to try for a gluten …
I’m obsessed with these little felted wool woodland creatures that pop up in my Pinterest feed. They are so adorable and they look like they take some serious artistic talents, so I’m not about to attempt one of those (not yet, anyway!). But I have also seen cute little felted balls strung into garland or adorning …
Many months ago, I wrote about wanting to make some curtains. In true procrastinator style, it has taken me nearly 3 months to present to you an after post. And, technically, I’m not done. I’ve only finished two panels. I need to finish two more for the other window in my living room. Before Thanksgiving, …
Oh my God, that title doesn’t sound very appetizing. And, don’t worry, I didn’t eat them at the same time. Cauliflower I was trying because I want to try some new sides for Thanksgiving and the eggs will be breakfast for the week. I didn’t follow a recipe for the egg bake, but for you …
During my #write31days challenge I laid out some goals for my blog. One of those goals was to have a monthly update on the state of the blog. I think it’s important to do for two reasons. First, I love finding blogs that share information about their stats and monetizing. It’s hard to figure out …
When I hit publish on this post, I will have written every day for 31 days. It was quite a challenge. I wanted to give up a bunch of times and there were times when I probably should have just quit rather than posting a crappy post. But I learned a lot, even from …
I’ve been in some form of Human Resources or Staffing for 17 years. That is not fun to say. Don’t get me wrong, I like what I do; I just can’t believe I’ve actually been doing it for that long. When you do one thing for that long, you eventually learn a thing or two. …
I’m not a thrill seeker. I like to read and take pictures and make stuff. I like to hang out with my kids and husband and watch tv and maybe go to the zoo now and then. I don’t need to go on a roller coaster or jump out of a plane or cross the …
I have a problem. I’ve always been a person who hits the snooze button in the morning. Usually three times a morning. Lately, I’ve been hitting the snooze button and not even waking up to do it. Like, I would wake up and realize it was 27 minutes after the alarm was set for. I …
My favorite costumes for Halloween are homemade, unique and free. My daughters costume for a Halloween party this past week ticked all three of those boxes. She was a Headless Hippie. I had seen a bunch of cute headless costumes on Pinterest and I thought they looked complicated, but, in fact, it was pretty simple. …
