I Saw the Sign
I’d say this is a sure sign I’ve been working too much over the last couple weeks. Pumpkins + snow = long overdue lawn decor swap.
Check It, a Homekeeping List
I am not a very good homekeeper. Our house is never as clean as it should be. There are even times when if you came knocking on my door, I would not let you in. And that’s sad because I really like having company. So I made myself a checklist. Nothing motivates me more than [...]
Get ‘Er Done: My 35 Before 35 List
OMG. I’m 30 (as of today). The tick of the life clock just got a little louder (Dramatic? Yes.). Forty seems way too far away, so here’s my 35 before 35 list. (OMG. In five years I’ll be 35.) In no particular order, I will: Make a fancy cake, all by myself, that tastes as [...]
IKEA Trip = FAIL

Summer Strawberries
I went to three different farmer’s markets last weekend in search of fresh picked strawberries. No luck! It just wasn’t time yet. I’m hoping tomorrow will be a different story. Besides just eating them straight out of the carton, here are some recipes I’d like to try. Strawberry Freezer Jam (photo byhomemade by jill) Strawberry Bread (photo [...]
Summer of 29
Today is Memorial Day 2010, a day to remember those who have served our country and a day that we also remember loved ones we have lost. It’s a day when we all tend to take pause and reflect on our lives. Memorial Day is also known as the unofficial start to summer. It’s that combination [...]
Toilet Paper Part Two
While we’re on the subject of toilet paper, check this out. The How-to Gal makes art out of leftover toilet paper rolls. Pretty neat, huh? I bet you wouldn’t have known this was made of TP rolls if I hadn’t told you. Check out howtogal.blogspot.com for the full tutorial.
