The pools are wonderful, the drinks flow uninterrupted, and the days are humid and warm. And I’m super tired of carrying our two year-old all over this huge resort. #firstworldproblems, am I right? She, however, is having the absolute time of her life. Piles of bacon for breakfast. Favorite family members all around. A giant … Continue reading
I’ll unashamedly admit that when I heard the term “babymoon” for the first time, I thought it was really dumb. I think we try to celebrate EVERYTHING in our culture sometimes (“First trip to the movies as an engaged couple!” is an actual Instagram post I saw a couple of weeks ago) and sometimes, I … Continue reading
Hey guys! I’m sipping coffee on this warm Saturday afternoon feeling totally happy and relaxed. Life has been, seriously, pretty freakin’ great lately. For one, my adrenal fatigue is finally healed after years of suffering and months of work with my doctor. I’m on supplements and I pulled all irritating foods out of my diet … Continue reading
Um, Happy New Year? (I know, I know, it’s March!) Sorry I haven’t popped over here in a bit! I have a big post coming on Why Getting Your Ex Back Isn’t All You’ve Dreamed Of, so stay tuned for that. But in the meantime, a quick update: The first two months of this year were … Continue reading
I felt it as soon as I woke up. “No.” I’d been going, going, going for a few weeks. I felt it in my bones, sure as anything – to all of the plans I had laid out for the day, my body was saying a strong “NO.” I’ve ignored my body’s “no” before, and … Continue reading
It’s Friday, so you know what that means – Whoops! It’s Saturday! A day late but never a dollar short, here are some links to keep you busy this weekend! I somehow just discovered IHeart Organizing. How I lived before I found this blog, I don’t even know. Be kind to the OCD in … Continue reading
I’ve been thinking so much about bulletin boards lately (as I shared in Small Life, Slow Life: A Kick of Creativity), so when my friend Elizabeth told me that Crate & Barrel was holding a free marimekko DIY pinboard event, I was totally in! A huge fan of the bright poppy print, I’ve long lusted … Continue reading
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
