How was your Thanksgiving? Good! Oh, ours? Ours was fine. Thanks for asking. Sure, by “fine” I might also mean “we survived”. Stevie had 5 days off of school, so. You know. No comment. And this evening, when I turned off the last of my weekend TV shows and realized the new week was starting,…
Maaaan, we’ve already been in our new house for a whole year!! Well, I should be careful to call it new, since it was built in 1929, but it’s certainly new to us! In some ways, it seems like we’ve been here forever. Like where else could we have been? And in other ways, it…
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a confessions post! Either funny things have stopped happening to me, or I’ve lost my sense of humor. Or I’m just too busy to remember anything funny. We had to buy a baby gate for the dog. So that he’d stop pooping in the living room in the middle…
Halloween. Come and gone. And I hate to admit, I was dreading it. The weekend leading up to Halloween, had me feeling all the things. (Mostly anxiety.) I scrolled through my social media and saw everyone having the BEST HALLOWEEN WEEKEND EVERRRR for like 4 days straight. And here I was, barely able process how…
It’s not very often I get to host a giveaway on this silly little ol’ blog. So when JORD Wood Watches reached out and asked me to try the product, offer my feedback, AND give away a gift card to one of my readers, I was pretty excited. BUT! (Isn’t there always a BUT?) I didn’t…
I originally found the Taking Stock list on the Meet Me at Mike’s blog. Thanks for checking in! Making: chokers. Cooking: strike. Drinking: cofffffeeee duh. Reading: emails and forgetting to answer. Trawling: the internet for travel deals (yeah, I had to look up trawling too). Wanting: to be better. Looking: for ways to do it all. Deciding:…
For the past 10 days, I participated in a popular online styling challenge where you take 10 items of clothing (shirts/pants/shoes) then mix + match those items to make 10 different outfits. When I originally chose my 10 items, it was surprisingly easy. I thought I had it in the bag. I took a look at…
It was one of those Saturdays. I just had to get out and do something. Stevie was recovering well from his eye surgery and I was just ready for a break. I wanted to drive a little and listen to some good tunes. I wanted to explore and take pictures. I wanted cooler temps. And I…
Doesn’t the title say it all?! What a beautifully perfect weekend to be in the mountains. Take us back.
**Note: If you skip ahead to the pictures, you can just pretend we had an awesome day! I want to start this by saying that my husband strongly discouraged me from going to the fair this year. He was mostly worried about exposure to too many things right before his eye surgery. But I’ve taken…
