I met a famous person! Well…kinda famous. Some of you may remember the high school comedy “Saved By the Bell“. It ran in the 90′s and starred an impossibly good-looking group of kids and their principal. Some of the kids have gone on to do great acting things, and others have become punch lines. What … Continue reading »

[Re]Working It…Day 27
I would first like you to know that my sanctuary is amazing. I feel wonderful and relaxed in it. As I type this, I am basking in its serenity and calmness. Ahhhhhhh…… Can you believe we are at the end of June?! I cannot believe this at all, we have already gone through twenty of … Continue reading »
It’s All Over but the Revenge…
Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a cat with fleas. Now keep your hand up if you’ve ever tried to give that cat a flea bath. Hand still raised? Mine is. Saturday, I decided that enough was enough and that Stuart needed a bath. He’s been miserable all summer and scratches himself bloody, plus … Continue reading »
Start now, she tells me. It’ll be fine, she tells me…
On Friday, I was working along, minding my out business, and the power went out. Well. Okay. Turns out there had been an accident, or something, and the lines got knocked down. It was fixed by the evening, but really messed with my ability to work. So…weekend! Cue happy dance. Except the part where I … Continue reading »
Weekend Warriors…Threembride
I don’t know where you are, but where I am, we’re on Day 4 of what I’m calling The Great Heat Siege of 2012. We Mid-Atlantic-ers have gotten spoiled so far this summer with very few days jumping out of the lower 80′s and a plethora of cool nights. Windows stayed open, summer weddings had … Continue reading »
[Re]Working It…Day 20
So, by now I am hoping you have recovered from the overwhelming shock that was my room cleanse. I know, I know, I know. It was rough. My room is now a sanctuary, not just a space. And I do mean this when I say if I have the guts to do that, anyone can … Continue reading »
Stir. And then? Panic.
I am a baker, both by experience and by personality (if you know a lot of bakers, you understand what I mean). So when I decided to try out a homemade caramel recipe I found on Pinterest (by the way…can we just talk about Pinterest for a minute? Ah-may-zing! If you’re still waiting for … Continue reading »
If this is going to ruin our friendship, just walk away…
So Emily has this problem…. I call it “Waytoomuch(stuff)ititus”. Between moving from home to school and back again and trying to keep her ever burgeoning wardrobe under control, she’s in way over her head, and has been lamenting her plight to me all summer. So last week I finally relented and offered to help. We … Continue reading »

[Re] Working It…Day 13
Happy Wednesday! What is not to love about knowing you are on the downhill slope of the week?! One of the best parts about summer for me, is getting the opportunity to spend time with my niece and nephew, Paige (3) and Owen (4). They are so much fun to hang around. Life is without … Continue reading »
