Today marks the start of the Christmas holiday season and all of [...]

Ugh.
J and I email back and forth regularly, and Ugh is often the subject line. This week it’s a good description for how I feel. I’m just going to come out and say it – I am in a funk. I spent most of last week sick. Again. My house is a disaster and it [...]

Well, tis the season – Christmas decor is out in force at every retail establishment in this country. It is my personal belief that Thanksgiving deserves its day, therefore no Christmas decor will be displayed in our house until the day after Thanksgiving.

Remember my frumpy bedroom from this post? Its looks could be summed up in this photo:
Well, after weeks and weeks of hard work, it now has transformed into this! :
I’ve been busy, okay?
BUT, I have been going crazy over some cute accent tables/nightstands from Target.com, and I think I may be close to honing in [...]

I’m having all sorts of fevers lately. Today, thankfully, I am not feeling sick. It’s that other fever – you know. The baby one.
Thankfully, one of my older sisters is in the family way, and I can pretend that all the baby paraphernalia I ogle is for her sake. Her baby boy will be very [...]

PSA: Do yourself a favor and get a flu shot. DO IT. And then quarantine yourself until spring.
Hello, lovelies! I apologize for the tardiness of this post. It’s all I can do to get through the day – it’s so bad, I’ve been sleeping in my car at lunch. Yes, I’m that girl. Feel [...]

I know you were all worried, so I just wanted to let you know: the scarf is now in my hands. Thanks, husband!

Last weekend, my dear friend Jana and I met up for a spontaneous shopping spree at the outlet mall nearby. We spent way too much moneytime there, but we came away with some fabulous fall items.
I didn’t come away, however, with a certain scarf. A certain white/green/black patterned wool scarf from the Banana Republic outlet. [...]

Edit: the only song I remember from high school choir (yes, I of the no-musical-talent was in choir. Stop laughing.) goes like this “Button up your overcoat when the wind is free. Take good care of yourself – you belong to me.” It is running through my head as I am working on this post. [...]

In my hometown, hours and hours away from where I currently live, stalkers, there is a fabulous Dutch bakery. Forget agriculture – I’m pretty sure the town’s economy is built on almond patties and freshly baked rolls and doughnuts.
The bakery expanded a few years ago to include a kitchen/knickknacky section. There are adorable bowls, funky [...]
