You don’t have to be all new agey, woo-woo or into The Secret to make a vision board! But if you really hate the term, how about just calling it a “collage” and let’s move on, mmkay? I’ve been making collages since I was a teenager. To my mother’s horror, I once covered every square … Continue reading
C and I are both busy people and our phones are glued to our fingers. C does all his own scheduling, so he’s constantly hearing from clients. There’s also facebook, twitter, WordPress, Words with Friends, Draw Something…all these things keep me busy, and we were despairing a few weeks ago that we missed just having … Continue reading
(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.

Happy Saturday! I spend all my time looking at beautiful blogs lately. Seriously, we live in an incredible time where we can be internet-neighbors with the most amazing people! Special shout-out: I just love this post from Note to Self – it makes me want to take a trip somewhere where I only have to … Continue reading
My best friend got all of her wedding pictures, and man – are they amazing! I wanted to share a few here – they so captured all of the love D + N feel for each other and the love we feel for them! D + N got married during “The Magic Hour” – a … 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
