When I tried to register for my fist baby I walked into Babies R’ Us and had a full blown panic attack. I know, I’m a bit dramatic, and there were probably other fears under the surface…haha, but I kid you not, my husband had to drag me out of the store in tears. Thankfully MORE »
So you have your triangle jewelry, triangle pillows, triangle print leggings and a new rug with some type of tribal geometric triangle print…right? A rug that no doubt rests nicely under your triangle statement wall. Well move over equilateral, there’s a new hip shape in town! It’s fluffy, it’s airy, and it’s everywhere, that’s right…it’s MORE »
Last weekend we hosted a little BBQ with some neighbors. I wanted to make a dessert, but I did not want to heat up my kitchen. So I grabbed a new book I just got, “101 Gourmet No-Bake Desserts in a Jar” and found a recipe I love! When it came time for dessert I MORE »
Remember the “Put a bird on it” skit from Portlandia? Well it looks like the grizzly, the panda and even Mr. Polar, have decided to gobble up tweety and declare themselves 2013′s new “it” animal.

I know you love your mom, I love mine too. But I STILL stink at getting a gift on time! That’s why I’ve mastered the last-minute gift. I like to pair something slightly homemade with something store bought. It’s personal and special, and doesn’t look last-minute. Your mama will never know how selfish you really MORE »
(This is where the magic happens) During my pregnancy (I had my lil man 2 weeks ago!) I watched a lot, I mean A LOT of television. I don’t even feel bad about this because numbing my mind was basically the ONLY way I could survive. We don’t have cable, but we DO have a MORE »
There’s almost nothing that makes me happier than breakfast for dinner. It’s breakfast! It’s dinner! It’s delicious. Recently Susan called out some of her favorite breakfast for dinner recipes on her blog, and I loved the idea so much I thought I’d share some her faves and mine with you here. The other amazing thing MORE »
I’ve become obsessed with needing a garland for every occasion. My fire place just looks SO sad without one. I think this is just another indicator I am in fact turning into a crazy craft lady (if I wasn’t already one). No doubt themed sweaters with holiday-appropriate buttons are not far behind. But I’ve decided MORE »
First off, I would like to point out that I am NOT a techie. I know enough HTML to get my blog posts done, and for the most part I’m more concerned with adhesives and baking supplies than I am with plug-ins and…something else technical, see I couldn’t even think of two things. BUT I MORE »
