I know, I know. The title says it all doesn't it? <-----This was pretty much me today...for most of the day. I know, awesome right?!Today wasn't my best day. Not even close. It started great, but ONE thing went differently than I expected and I'm sorry to say I let it ruin my attitude for the rest of the day. Yes, I did say for the rest of the … [Read more...]
White Done Right…Crisp Interiors guest post!
Drumroll please..... The other day I posted about how I find myself at a loss when it comes to decorating with a lack of color...more specifically whites! And without further ado, today I want to introduce you to Emily Knotts of Crisp Interiors who has some fabulous white-decorating pointers for all of us! Woohoo! And while she's here with us, I'm guest … [Read more...]
TImberrrrrr…..
SO today has been pretty full of excitement 'round about our house!Tid Bit and Hudson have been mezmerized by the guys cutting down trees in our yard today! Between climbing a tree with chainsaws, a Bobcat hauling giant stumps around, and now a stumpgrinder going to town on the remnants of 5 over 100ft tall trees in our yard...it has been a little boy's (and apparently … [Read more...]
What’s for Dinner?! Lemon Curry Roasted Chicken, Amazing Rice Pilaf!
I made this dish for dinner last night after sort of a hiatus from inspired cooking. As you know if you've been reading here lately, my Hubs has been working late for about the past 6 weeks on a major project, so the dinner department suffers severely. It's just not as much fun not having dinner as a family and thus, I just don't feel like getting creative lately. I … [Read more...]

Little Bit’s Nursery…one of the few finished rooms in our house!
So, pretty much Little Bit is about to have his name revealed when I show you pictures from his nursery. I figured that it's high time I show you a picture of something in my house that is actually finished.EXACTLY how I want it to be....I go into this room and feel happy, calm, inspired, loved....it's just a good good room. And it's my most favorite nursery that … [Read more...]
Food for Thought: Impossible Possibilities…. prayers for Japan.
I have a new piece of furniture I'm going to start working on here in a minute, but I just had to do a bit of writing first. Sorry I didn't write yesterday...it was way too beautiful in SC to be inside typing. We took our kiddos to the zoo, had a picnic, and the Hubs and I went on a date last night even. It was a good day. This morning at church, I have … [Read more...]
Castle on a Cloud….Dreaming in Whites.
I once told someone that I thought that the color white was"Completely void of personality" and should basically be avoided....pure white that is.But now, I have changed my mind...and I think I was wrong! Because I love this...And these....And this....And this....Seriously...GOR-geous!But I'm just gonna tell you....I'm not good with void of color!Now if you want … [Read more...]
What’s Cooking?! Chocolate Whoppers…aka. my newest downfall!
This morning when I woke up it was still raining...and my house smelled like poop from our septic tank issues. UN-Awesome.Since I really didn't do much of anything productive yesterday with the rain, I thought I'd kill 2 birds with one stone today...make something to show for and abolish the literal crappy smell in my house.Baking time!!!Little did I know the problem these … [Read more...]
How to…antique a table!
Oh my words...it's raining here again, which is good for the earth, but bad for my septic tank.UGH! Everytime we have a "soaking rain," our septic drain fields get overloaded and then the toilet in MY bathroom doesn't flush til it's dry for several days again. Awful. I guess it'd all be fine if we wanted to fork over $2K to add more drainfields...but do you … [Read more...]
What’s Cooking?! Toasted Coconut Caramel Cream Pies
Before I tell you this recipe, I have to apologize in advance that this pie will ruin your quest to be thin. It will insure your jello jog, make you feel self conscious in your hanky pankys, and all in all destroy any shred of will power you might be trying to advance for Lent. That being said...you will bite into a mouthful of this stuff and enjoy what I think a little slice … [Read more...]
Tales of a Lesser Woman: I botched up my own recipe!
You know the pizza recipe I shared the other day? The fig and sausage one.Well, I made it last night and even though I've made it LOTS of times before, I changed a couple of things this go round. A couple of changes worked just fine, but a couple turned out to be the most ridiculous nightmarish cooking debauchles that will go down in my mind forever!The good news is … [Read more...]
Recipes for life…Pie!
Ok, so the pie I'm talking about here isn't exactly a real recipe per say.I probably just lost half of you after reading that statement, huh? So I'll make you a deal. If you read this today, then tomorrow I'll post a recipe for a killer real pie, alright?!The pie I'm talking about isn't usually as sweet, and I sure as heck don't look forward to it like I do to … [Read more...]
Apples to Earrings….a fantastic repurpose!
Meant to post yesterday but the Hubs actually got to spend the whole day at home with us, so we were soaking that up as much as we could. Also, my internet was down for some reason and I didn't want to bother him with fixing it since our time all together has been pretty short here lately.I will tell you though, I got my project on while he took a nap for a little while … [Read more...]
What’s for Dinner?!…Fig and Sausage Pizza
This morning I'm not feeling it. I'm not sure what "it" is, but I just know I'm stinking worn out and not up for anything.I did go to Whole Foods this morning after I dropped Tid Bit off at school...my little grocery oasis. You know you've come a long way from the days of driving a convertible and playing til all hours when your "oasis" is a specialty grocery … [Read more...]
Style or Vile?!
This morning over my completely-necessary-to-jump-start-my-day cup of coffee I was leafing through a few new magazines that we just got in the mail. Frontgate, some random catalogue filled with silk flowers (NO idea how I got on that list...I'm still a silk flower skeptic,) and the newest J. Crew.In 6th grade, I'm pretty sure that Jennifer Jahn dominated the Duckhead … [Read more...]
