Thinking of revamping my stairs…
My stairs still have a runner on them from the previous owner that just isn't me. See look....Not me at all.

I just have to finish making the bench before I can move on to … [Read more...]

Musings of a Master Bedroom Makeover…
My bed isn't made yet, so I'm not gonna post a picture of my master bedroom right now. Well, that and the laundry from yesterday is still folded in the basket instead of in all of our drawers. And... all the flat surfaces seemed to be currently collecting junk...papers yet to be filed, books in the middle of being read, and stuff that I haven't put back on the walls … [Read more...]

Bon Bons… I really couldn’t live without them…
Have you ever had your husband ask you what you did all day? You know...in a way that perhaps would put into question if you had in fact done anything all day long? Because when he comes home, there are toys strewn all over the den, the paper plates from lunch are still on the table, there is half a pile of folded laundry on your bed and the rest in a pile on the floor, and … [Read more...]

The Man Party
Ever since my husband and a band of his buddies decided to have their own "Man Party" for the Super Bowl last night, I've been salivating over a blog post idea. I can't imagine that I'll do my idea justice because as is often the case with ideas, the execution can fall short indeed. Like re-telling a funny story where mid-way through you already feel stupid because … [Read more...]
How to Make Homemade Chicken Stock
I wrote "How to Make Homemade Chicken Stock" in a post a couple of weeks ago, but decided it's important enough to deserve it's own post. Yesterday, I needed to make some more and had just bought a rotisserie chicken, so I thought I'd document the process for you in photos. My friend Amy tried this for the first time the other day (Woo Hoo Ames!) and had some … [Read more...]

Will you be my Valentine…if i give you Sugar Cookies?

I'm drawing some hearts on the back and letting my 4 year-old cut them all out. It … [Read more...]
