Abbe’s Story

The blog world is amazing. If someone told me all of the possibilities when I pressed the “start a blog” button on Blogger almost four years ago, I’m not sure I would’ve believed them. This blog has given me overwhelming opportunities and has made some of my pie-in-the-sky dreams a reality. All of that stuff […]
Clock Face Makeover

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post brought to you by Frog Tape. Remember the clock I bought on clearance at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago? I’ve been eyeing large clock faces for a while, but the ones I liked were always really expensive and the ones that were affordable weren’t quite right. As I was strolling […]
Blank Canvas

I shared a few weeks ago that I found the perfect dining room chairs on Craig’s List. They were vintage oval-back French caned chairs…just what I have been hunting for.

Marrying the Old & New

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post brought to you by Frog Tape. This is my house. Obviously, not in July, but this is it. It’s a 2 1/2 story Cape Cod style home that was built in 1948. It was built by a local builder known for his barns, but he built a few houses in the […]
P90X Results

I did it! 90 days of P90x. Whew! It was tough, but I really enjoyed it and I am very happy with the results. I’m going to say upfront that I am not affiliated with P90x or Beachbody (the company that makes these workout videos) and I bought this program on my own, because I […]
