I’ve discovered that one of the hardest things about staying on a diet that restricts certain ingredients, (like the low carb, paleo-ish, wheat belly inspired thing that I’m doing) is that you can’t just grab a quick granola bar or cookie or other processed, wheat laden product when you’re hungry. Unless, you’ve done a little …
It’s a red letter day! It’s Ikea catalog day. So excited and I know you are, too! Here are my top ten must haves: Riffla Basket – This pretty basket is hand woven from water hyacinth which apparently is an invasive plant which makes this adorable and good for the environment. At $7.99 I’ll take …
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 need a new mailbox. For real. The door broke off of it and every time I reach my hand in, I’m terrified there will be a spider waiting to attack. I would really like to replace what I have with something fun and funky. So I scoured some of my favorite haunts for ideas. …
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, …
