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 …
I have some updates to our dining room to share. Or, should I say, I have some updates to our family room to share. It’s all a bit confusing, you see, because the dining room is in the family room and the family room is in the dining room. Maybe I should start from …
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 started a blog a few months ago. And then I stopped. I had many reasons why I stopped. I needed a new camera because my pictures weren’t very good. I didn’t have time for projects. I kept starting things and never finishing them. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to blog about home stuff, …
Lots of lovely items out there this week. For the home, I love this painted occasional table: There must be a DIY way to pull that off. Maybe decoupaged paper? This is from a Joss & Main sale, but a thrifted bedside table with this treatment seems very doable! I stumbled upon this beautiful, crisp …
In addition to the extra lbs. I carry around as documented in this post, I have another issue that hinders me from wearing cute shorts and skirts and dresses throughout the spring and summer. My skin is pale. The color of skim milk is the best way to describe it. Not pretty, milky white skin. Like, …
