A New Blog Theme

September 12, 2014.Reading time 1 minute.

The other day I figured it was time for a change. The blog needed a fresh look and I was on the hunt in the WordPress theme archives for just that since I am definitely not building the blog myself. Worpress makes it so easy! When I found this one, I fell in love with […]

Bidding Farewell To Summer

September 11, 2014.Reading time 3 minutes.

I’m fully prepared that this might be the last day we see 90 degree weather this year. Looking ahead into the next week, it looks like we’ll be greeted with pre-Fall 70 degree weather and I find myself mixed with emotions. I love Fall (everyone knows that by now), but we had such a cold […]

My Go-To Natural Sick Day Remedies

September 5, 2014.Reading time 8 minutes.

Earlier in the week it felt like I had a little cold coming on. If I ever have anything going on with my sinuses (thanks Dad for passing sinus trouble on to me!), or a cold is brewing, I like to try and kick it in the bud with some natural remedies. I’ve been using […]

Hello, There, September!

September 1, 2014.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Can I just say – finally? I’ve been waiting for you… The leaves are already starting to turn, which is always exciting to see. I’m prepping for my first ever Welcome Fall party for the end of the month, with pictures to come, of course. Fall festivals are on the calendar. We’re totally in the […]

Stuck In My Head Triple Feature | NEEDTOBREATHE

August 16, 2014.Reading time 1 minute.

Thanks to Pandora, I discovered a new-to-me band, NEEDTOBREATHE (yes, all caps. No spaces. Apparently it was a marketing thing). I have just about fallen in love with them – not to mention to lead singer’s voice. To me, they’re a bit of a mixed sound of a little rock, a little county, a little […]

Back In The Saddle

August 8, 2014.Reading time 4 minutes.

Well hello there! It’s been a while, I know. But I had to take a break and sort out where blogging fits into my life – or more so how or if I wanted it in my life at all. Taking a break made me miss it and I realized this is a creative outlet […]

DIY Painted Mugs & Vase

March 29, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

Note: the paint used in this tutorial is non-toxic but not food safe. It is not recommended to paint where your mouth will go on the mug. Of course I learned that after painting mine, so I’m helping you to learn from my mistakes! I was itching to get creative and after remembering we had […]

March Book of the Month | 2014

March 24, 2014.Reading time 2 minutes.

Last year I started my series of reading a book a month, attempting to read books that had long been stashed in my personal library. During that time, I also rediscovered the library and some old favorites. Occasionally some of those favorites may have been from my childhood that had vaguely danced around in my […]
