Well, well, well. 36. You are here. I don’t really know what to say. I mean, as I get older, there are so many mixed emotions about it. I think I talk about the contradictions and how weird it is every single year. Because it IS weird, man. Getting older is just plain weird. This…
Making: myself get some work done this weekend. Maybe. Cooking: happily letting others do that for me. Drinking: water. Recovery mode. Reading: my first audio book. Wanting: to leave Christmas decorations up forever. Looking: for balance. Playing: with Hot Wheels tracks. Deciding: what to pack for a weekend trip. Wishing: someone would pick my outfits…
Just going out to dinner. Leaning towards staying warm! Which look is is your favorite?
OK just one more craft for the week. I am DIY-ed out. It had to be easy and it had to be inexpensive. With my logic, ornaments are small – therefore faster to finish – so I figured I’d go in that direction. This one took longer than the ribbon ornament because you have to cut out so many squares,…
Oh, this tinsel tree. I made so many mistakes that it took forever and I had to redo it 3 times. It’s not difficult by any means, but I didn’t have a tutorial to follow, so I was winging it. And we all know how that goes. My uncraftiness really had a chance to shine…
These pom-poms are kind of my favorite. I loved having fluffy little pets all around the house. And I enjoyed throwing them at Stevie’s head continually while he wasn’t looking. Perfect rainy day activity. Plus, they look so cute on the mantle! Baby Jesus and pom-poms go together right? Here’s where I found the easiest…
This week, I’ll show you a few of the craft projects I attempted for Christmas. My whole entire life, I have always tried to be a crafty person. But I’ve realized over the years, and all of the failed attempts, that I’m just not. And that’s ok. These ones are actually so easy, they made…
Our first visit to New York City was right around this time of year, way back in 2008. Yeah, I already had a blog back then. And yeah, I already wrote about the trip. But what I didn’t anticipate back in 2008 was what a lasting impact the city would have on me after just…
It’s the perfect day for it… Making: sure to fill in my eyebrows every day. Cooking: more like microwaving. Drinking: hot chocolate in almond milk. Reading: help-us-with-this-child books. Wanting: this black leather-strap watch. Looking: for those perfect gifts. Playing: a lot of Shake It Off. It’s for Stevie, I swear. Deciding: on the next nail…
Too much food. The first words that came to mind thinking about our trip to Utah. Seriously, though. Still full. But also: laughter, beauty, nostalgia, happiness, frustration and a little bit of heartache all rolled into one big group hug. We stayed up too late. Woke up too early. Made too many dirty jokes. Enjoyed…
