the perfect jeans
When I set out to go shopping for jeans last Wednesday, I was about 87% sure that tears would be involved…or at least that I would go home in a discouraged funk. Jean shopping is just hard. They might fit well in one place, but not in another. They’re comfy, but they’re not flattering. They’re […]
Going to SNAP!

Today I’m heading to Baltimore to board a plane bound for Utah. We drove through the corner of Utah last summer on our family vacation to Colorado and the Grand Canyon and loved every second of that state through the car windows. I wish I was going to hike in Zion National Park and take […]
life updates

I suppose I’m not providing an update on everything, but just a lot of things that have been going on over the past year that I’m often asked about. I don’t want to throw something out there in a blog post and then never let you know how it’s going, so here you go… Fitness/Health […]
HGTV.com Photoshoots

It was a pretty odd event…cutting down a Christmas tree just a couple of days before Easter, but I have gotten used to the seasonal confusion that happens in the decorating […]
Finds, Bread Boards & Mittens

It was a packed day. I started cleaning as I was getting ready for the day. I’m sure I’m not the only super-multi-tasker who tries to clean the sink while I’m drying my hair. I have a lot of due dates approaching and the boys have a few days off school, so I needed to […]
FURNITURE FEATURE FRIDAY |
Oh, girls… I really got lost in last week’s links. At one point I had a ridiculous number of tabs opened that I wanted to select as favorites. You wow me every week, but some weeks are standouts. We must all be hitting the workshops as spring is making an appearance…although a somewhat shy appearance […]
