I found some cool stuff on my vacation! And I’m going to share it with you! I love shopping on vacation, but I like to try to buy things that don’t scream souvenir (yes, I had to google how to spell souvenir. That totally doesn’t look right). I like to get things that I will …
We took a way too short vacation and I really want to share it. We went to Laconia, NH and stayed minutes from Weirs Beach. It’s a place I went with my family as a child and I’ve always loved it’s laid back, easy going vibe. We rented a little condo right on the water. …

I found these beautiful DIY jewelry displays on the Share It Thursday Linky Party linked by Home Oh My a few months ago and I just fell in love with them: I thought it was such a simple and classic look and while I have a place where I am *supposed* to keep all my jewelry, a …
I love chicken legs. There, I said it. We usually marinate them in soy sauce and Italian dressing, which is so delicious. It’s a recipe from my mother-in-law. Tonight, I had no Italian dressing. So, I had to improvise. I had some Greek yogurt leftover from a failed attempt at making yogurt popsicles. (Don’t ask, …
I had a fit of spending on clothes in the spring and promised I would take it easy for a while. And I did. Until this week. I DID need some summer staples and I did get some great deals again, so I’m happy with my purchases. And I’m done for now. Except Banana Republic …
