Can you believe what J pulled yesterday? Shameful. Don’t worry, lovelies, I have no such tricks up my sleeve. I will go on record and say that my uterus is completely empty. Actually I don’t think they are supposed to be completely empty……..Ahem. Anyway, that is enough about that.
To make up for her shenanigans I [...]

Is it sacrilegious to post about wine on Sunday? I think not…..
So, I’m starting to think this arrangement on my dresser is pretty tired.
I received these purple allium stems for our wedding (I registered for a lot of home decor items……nevermind that we had no towels, these flowers were a MUST!). I still think it [...]

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 [...]

An ode to fall decorating, in three acts:
******************
Act 1: Decor Inspiration
What can I say? I can’t get enough of fall decor! Fall is my most favorite season – crisp, cool air that requires blankets, and sweaters, and sweatpants (oh, sweatpants. Is there anything better?), beautiful foliage, cider, I could go on and on. But don’t [...]

(Are you hearing Stevie Wonder in your head? Good, me too)
Oh, do I have some big news for you!!! You may want to sit down (since I know most of you surf the internet standing up…..)

For our next installment of DIY Week at Homage, I’ll give you a walk-through of how I took a crappy bookcase off Craigslist and turned it into a beloved living room item. I’ve previously mentioned how I was inspired by this post by Centsational Girl, but this lovely china cabinet in K’s house brought my [...]
