I had a great extra long weekend and I have one good for you recipe and one not good for you at all, but fun to make and topical. Well, not actually topical anymore, but maybe you can pin it on your “What I will Make in 2 Years for the Summer Olympics” board. First …
Truth. Especially if you are going on a job interview. (PS, you should never wear any of the following to a job interview!): And if dressing yourself well is good manners, then certainly you must also dress the home well: Moving on to up-ending my entire universe with pure genius: I’ve been day dreaming …
Can someone explain to me why if I have been exercising consistently for the last 2.5 weeks that I have not lost an ounce (unless you count when I let my heals hang a little off the edge of the scale)? In fact, when I weighed myself this morning, the scale looked like it was …
This is my first pass at Polyvore. I loved it. It started off very easy, but there are a couple of things that I can’t quite figure out how to fix. Like, for instance, the chaise lounge from Ikea is $350 and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to fix …
Yeah, autocorrect, take that! De-dingefication. I answer to no electronic dictionary. Except for when I forget how to spell vacuum. The main bathroom in the house was looking a little sad. It was completely remodeled a few years back after a strange plumbing incident (which involved water only). So, all the expensive stuff is pretty …

My favorite thing this week was finding out that this, exists: I don’t have a place to put it, unfortunately, but I did find a bunch of other awesome things at Urban Outfitters: Removeable Wallpaper Woven Mirror – 2 for $30 (SO buying these!) I hope my son likes this, because it is going in …
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 …
