Sometimes I feel guilty that I call this blog Undercover DIYer. Let’s face it, I’m not much for the power tools. If it involves something scarier than a drill, I’m calling my carpenter brother. When I found this craft that involves using sandpaper (and an iron which plugs in so, technically a power tool) I …
I’m not a Facebook person. I don’t Tweet. A young man asked me if my kids use Snapchat, indicating, clearly, that I am too old for Snapchat. Some of these things I’ve passed on because I find it creepy to follow near strangers daily activities. Others just haven’t captured my imagination. Pinterest, however, has truly …
I’ve learned to accept the truth that in life, nothing is ever really done. Laundry, never done. Cleaning, never done. Getting in shape, never done. It’s all a process. The kitchen is not completely done, not even nearly a year later. It has, however, come a LONG, LONG way. I bet you won’t even be …
After last weekends Super Bowl gluttony, I tried a couple of healthy recipes. I made a delicious chicken soup and gluten free peanut butter cookies. They chicken soup is “paleo” according to the website I got the recipe from. The cookies are not because they do have sugar in them, but as far as cookies …
I had lots of fun scouring the internet this week. Lots of inspiration to be found for all aspects of life! You have no idea how hard it was to not buy both of these from Dorothy Perkins this week. They were in my shopping cart, but a voice in my head was shouting at …

Disclosure: I am receiving a sweepstakes entry in exchange for writing the blog post. All opinions are mine! I adore Target. I could live there. Oddly, I was driving in to work today and thought, I think I could only shop at Target for the rest of my life and I don’t think I would ever want …
My hall closet was constantly a disaster. It is a decent size, a shelf on top and a rod across for hanging coats. But, somehow, nothing ever ended up hanging on the rod. It just ended up piling up at the bottom of the closet. The only thing that seemed to function in the closet were …
People, it was a good food weekend. And by good, I mean not good for you. But delicious. It was the Super Bowl and I had found a couple of picky/appetizer type recipes that I’ve been dying to try. Hawaiian Sandwiches 1/2 lb. swiss cheese slices 1/2 lb. ham slices 1/2 lb. turkey slices 2 pkg. …
I discovered the “Art” category on Pinterest this week. I don’t know why I never really clicked it before, but it’s like browsing through an online gallery. I love this piece by Annie Flynn. The picture links to a profile of her on Saatchi. This is happening in my hall/entry closet. Hopefully this weekend. Why …
