Are you a Joanna Gaines fan?
I’m not really country or farmhouse chic – but there’s something about her style that appeals even to me. Maybe it’s the warm and welcoming feel. Maybe it’s the metal sign she hangs in every house.
Smooth lead-in right? (not entirely cohesive, but I got the “metal sign” in there lol.)
Houseful of Handmade made a gorgeous hammered metal sign that looked so much like the real thing I had to give it a try myself…. […]
Have you seen the Netflix series “Grace and Frankie” with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin?
It is SO good!
This ‘older woman odd couple’ has Jane Fonda (Grace) as the uptight preppy and Lily Tomlin (Frankie) as the weed-smoking hippie. The two are thrown together when their respective husbands come to terms with the fact that they are gay and in love with each other.
It’s about friendship and family and acceptance and denial – all in […]
I’m sorry I was AWOL last week – I promise I wasn’t abandoning you for binge-watching Grace & Frankie (although I did do that) – last week was a bit crazy with “stuff to do”.
We went to Florida for March Break, so last week was all about ‘catch-up’ – the worst part of coming from vacation.
Yes, given that this was my vacay-view, I certainly won’t complain […]
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays friends.
XOXO
I generally show projects on my blog, and every so often my kids, but I rarely show my fur-babies – which is wrong given that they are such a huge part of […]
The blog post I did over the summer – the one where I gave links to a few sites that were giving away desktop wallpapers / screensaver – well, it is still getting traffic?!
Now that Fall has “officially” arrived, I thought maybe I’d try to create a few of my own for you to use.
For my desktop wallpapers, I like a lot of white space to house my files. I don’t want to cover over my daughter’s eyeball with blog images, or […]
I’ve seen this listing of plants that are “Pet-friendly plants” and “Toxic plants for pets” at my Veterinarian’s office the past few times I’ve been. Each time I’ve thought “this would make a GREAT blog post!” I’ve taken photos with my iPad and made a mental note to post something…
Then I build something and forget (again, and again).
This time, my Vet gave me a tear-away page to bring home with me.
I’ve searched online and I cannot find the original version […]
I want to start this by saying this is NOT a sponsored post. This is an app I came across in an effort to find a family-friendly calendar that can be accessed by everyone in our household, no matter where or on what machine (desktop and mobile) they were using.
Do you have a constantly fluctuating calendar? One where from moment to moment new dates, events and plans need to be added, removed or edited?
We have the large MotherWord Magnetic Wall Calendar […]
I’m allergic to bees.
Rather, I WAS allergic to yellowjackets, but am no more.
When I was in my 20’s I was stung several times after mowing over a yellow jacket nest that was hidden under the roots of a tree. (Did you know yellowjackets will build nests in the ground? Neither did I until this incident.)
Anyways, I immediately broke out into large hives all over my arms and chest. I’d been stung by the occasional bee as a child, but this […]
Do you have a list of nagging projects?
Little things that need to get done, but you lack motivation to do, so they sit undone for months and months and possibly years?
I do.
For the most part I forget about them until I glance over and notice say…
that the satellite dishes that we attempted to use about 5 years ago (with very little success) are still hanging from the wall. […]
