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 […]

Currently Stuck In My Head | The Walker

Fitz and the Tantrums, The Walker. Am I the only one who wants to choreograph a dance to this?

Spring Makeup | 2014

March 22, 2014.Reading time 6 minutes.

Welcome to Spring! I think? Apparently the East cost is supposed to be slammed with snow again next week. We’re all still bundled up here and still feeling the effects of Winter, but I have been craving spring colors for a while now. I’m ready to leave my coat at home, throw on something colorful, […]

Baby, It’s Still Cold Outside…

March 3, 2014.Reading time 3 minutes.

Who else is ready for Spring? Between the Polar Vortex and the snow storms we’ve had, including today, I’m done. I was excited for the snow days at the beginning of the season (because who doesn’t love watching that gorgeous stuff come down with a warm cup of something in your hands?), but I think […]

February Favorites

March 1, 2014.Reading time 4 minutes.

A few weeks ago I introduced a new section of the blog – Monthly Favorites – and posted what I was loving during January. And now it’s already time to share what captured my interest in February! Falling in Love, by Philosophy. This was the perfume I chose to wear on my wedding day and […]
