This is my friend Sarah and her brand new one-day-old baby girl. Her name is Kristin and she is so precious!There is just something so new and fresh about a newborn little bitty baby, isn’t there?? So sweet.
It’s A Hard-Knock Life
My *almost* two-year-old has such a hard life. I’m telling you, I almost get stressed out just thinking about it… First of all, she has to lounge around in her jammies and eat Cheerios off the floor. Her mother is too lazy to pick them up, I think. The 10-second rule has turned into the […]
Bright Red Mary Janes
Could there be anything more girl-like? Those of you who have little girls will probably agree that it is MUCH more fun to go shopping for them than for ourselves! There are just too many key-uuuute things out there! Sometimes I wish they’d make adult versions of the little tyke’s clothing…although I can guarantee that […]
A Source of Inspiration
One of my favorite sources of inspiration is MAGAZINES! And, as you can see, I get inspired a lot. And I know I’m not alone in this. Is there anything better than getting a brand, spanking new magazine and tearing into it?? 8pm is my favorite time of the day…baby’s in bed, supper dishes have […]
Typical Guy
We’ve had this super-tall tree in our back yard that was dying and hubs has been wanting to get rid of it for a while. So, he decided that today was the day. And, of course, he thought it was completely unnecessary to hire a professional to do the job. So, I watched, holding my […]
Goodbye Nasty Pantry
One of the things about having an old house is that some of the rooms just don’t get renovated until years down the road…and my closet-sized pantry was one of those rooms. Disgusting, old wallpaper, stained, flimsy shelving, just not very pleasant to use. So this weekend hubs and I worked on the room. I […]
The Cutest Things!
It was love at first sight when I saw this pumpkin carriage crib! I am SUCH a girl! Seriously.It’s yours for $4,800 at Chasing Fireflies. (Thanks for the tip Christen!) How cute is this apron??! It makes me want to go buy a sewing machine and take up sewing. You can buy the pattern at […]
Another Chalkboard Project
Here’s a simple little project I just worked on. This is a small cabinet in the nursery where I keep the trash can. Last week I painted the cabinet white. Today I painted the inside panel on the door with chalkboard paint. So easy and I think it adds a bit of character! You could […]

My Latest Finds
I thought I would give you a little tour of all my latest (cheap!) finds for the house. I had some Christmas money that was burning a hole in my pocket, so I did some shopping this week and came away with some great stuff! (Sheila-I am ITCHING to go shopping with you!!!) Here we […]
Book Recommendation
If you’re like me, putting makeup on is about the lowest thing on your priority list every day. But I came across this book (thanks to my sis) called The 5 Minute Face by Carmindy. She’s the beautiful girl who does makeup for the show “What Not To Wear” on TLC. This book is great […]
Got a few extra bucks??
Well, if you have an extra $125 MILLION burning a hole in your pocket, you could buy this… Courtesy of the swan-haired Donald Trump. According to HighStakesLiving.com, here’s the house description: (“house” just doesn’t really seem glamorous enough to fit the bill) In 2004 Donald Trump purchased Maison de L’Amitie at a bankruptcy auction for […]
