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 …
I’ve been in a funk. I don’t really think it has much to do with my diet, but it certainly isn’t helping. I decided to try one of the paleo recipes I found on-line. It’s a crock pot recipe which is right up my alley. Crock Pot Balsamic Chicken ‘ Wow, I didn’t really look …
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 …
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 …
