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), …
We are just a few short days away from the day that celebrates my people! St. Patrick’s Day! And I’m making what seems to have become a traditional Irish Dinner, corned beef and cabbage. But first… I have a great Irish story. Want to hear? My grandmother was born more than a hundred years ago in …

I’ve painted many, many rooms in my time, but I still find myself starting and stopping because I’ve forgotten some important step …
My daughter is hilarious and she has this bit she does about soccer moms named Deborah and Barbara who go to PTA meetings and bake sales. Apparently, they also eat gluten free and are obsessed with Quinoa. So, now I’m officially one of her soccer moms because I’m officially obsessed with Quinoa. I also like …

In order to not eat those things and avoid feeling crappy, I have to have an option to eat something that is sweet and delicious enough to distract me from the seductive cookies. …
Valentine’s Weekend was no friend to me when it comes to the old diet. I ate pizza and cheeseburgers and many, many chocolates. But, I can’t blame all of the cheating on Valentine’s Day. The big problem for me with my diet is not being prepared with good food on hand to eat. This week, …
