(Learn what Vacation Saturday is here!) Best discovery of the week? Other than a hot pink coffee table in a dark grey room, it’s definitely wordsoverpixels.com. I myself am very attached to this recent form of art – taking ordinary pictures and plopping plain text phrases on them. There’s a lot to see over at … Continue reading
Just because you’re living your small, slow, budget-conscious life doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with play-decorating! In fact, I’ve done this for a long time with my Material Monday series that I regularly hosted at my other blog. Sometimes, it’s the act of hunting down the really cool/pretty/coveted thing that we want, more so than … Continue reading
It’s been busy lately! Work, work and more work. Not too much play. Sadface! And, as it always goes when I’m super busy, I’m on a major creativity kick.

I got caught in my own trap. It happens to the best of us and it also definitely … Continue reading

In the months since she made her proclamation I have tried to disprove her theory but I can’t do it. Because I do think that that is what we all want. We want to cook meals and … Continue reading
How’s it going?! I’m in a really good mood today (the funk is all gone – yay)! For one thing, I saw THE DARK KNIGHT RISES last night at midnight! My man and his brother have always been big midnight-movie-goers when they’re really excited about a film, and I think all of us were more … Continue reading
Trust me, I roll my eyes as much as you do when I hear the overly-shared advice for living a longer, happier life. Sometimes I wish Oprah and Deepak and Dr. Oz would just stuff it already. Confession: I’ve even been known to completely close a webpage when I get to oodles of “feel better” … Continue reading
It’s Vacation Friday for me today, so I just wanted to stop by and give you some quick links that I love. I hope you all have plans to slow down and rest this weekend. It looks like the weather is going to be beautiful – I’m considering a beach trip on Sunday! Leo Babauta wrote … Continue reading
