Sneak in a Workout

“Sneak in a workout” is what my husband says when he wants to run to the gym for an hour or three and work out and play basketball.  While I’m not always a fan of the length of time he spends at the gym, I am a fan of the concept of “sneaking in a …

Back to Basics Craft

I have a love hate relationship with crafts.  I love crafts that are cute and useful.  I hate crafts that don’t serve any real purpose. They become clutter and I’m not a lover of clutter.  I actually have made and blogged about crafts that fit the latter category (here and here).  And don’t get me …
