Whenever I see a father/daughter team on The Amazing Race (it’s a reality show, you never watched those)….. On the occasion (usually your birthday and sometimes on random weekends) Paul purchases your favorite brand of beer…. The sound of a motorcycle roaring down the street on a hot summer day…. A sharp looking Corvette…… When Pandora gives me a Donna […]

Here, Home, Hope {Book Review}
June 11, 2011 · by · 32 Comments
When I first read the description of the book Here, Home, Hope by Kaira Rouda I knew immediately that I needed to read it. I instantly felt a connection with Kelly, the main character in the story. She’s a 39 year old woman with a wonderful husband and two sons that she adores, but while focusing on […]
Summertime, Me, and a swimsuit

There were several great prompts for MamaKat’s Writer’s Workshop this week, but the one that I decided to go with was the vlog post. For two reasons, really. One is that I’ve been wanting to do more vlog posts and the other is because the question she asked was one that I was able to […]
The Help – featurette
June 8, 2011 · by · 1 Comment
I have to admit I hadn’t heard of The Help, not the book or the film, before receiving an email yesterday with a link to the featurette. It’s being brought to you by Dreamworks, which is a plus already, but the incredible story behind this film is so moving and inspiring that I just had […]
Our first CSA

So last year at about this time I got a recommendation from a friend for a local farm to contact because I expressed interest in trying a CSA. Now you’re either Googling CSA or you’ve made up something in your head as to what it stands for. Go ahead, have fun with that. OR maybe […]
Writer’s Workshop – Six word memoir
June 2, 2011 · by · 10 Comments
So I started participating in the writer’s workshop over MamaKatsLosinIt at a couple of weeks ago because I was in desperate need of some inspiration, plus I was eager to get to know some new bloggers, but last week I didn’t write anything. Who knew that even with a little inspiration I’d still struggle? I […]
I finally hung some curtains
June 1, 2011 · by · 5 Comments
For the nearly two years that we’ve lived in our current home the kitchen and living room areas haven’t had any window treatments. I could say they were packed deep in a box that ended up in the far depths of our storage unit or that I just haven’t found the right ones on clearance at Target, […]
My big dream at the age of 18
May 20, 2011 · by · 11 Comments
I’ve mentioned before that one of the main reasons I was eager to switch to a new blog name and domain was because I want to freely write about anything and everything without always feeling like I had to add a green twist to my posts. Even though I feel very happy with my decision […]
