Spill It…{The Ridiculous Contents of 1 Woman’s Purse}

June 28, 2012

I bought a new purse last week before I went to Haven.  My old one was getting sort of raggedy looking, and when I found the perfect platinum colored new purse for just $20, it was a no-brainer. I don’t know if you’re one of those people who switch purses to go with your outfit [...]

The Hazards of Being Crafty….

November 16, 2011

I’ve been doing some crafting here lately.  I picked up 2 old hymnals from an estate sale this past weekend for just 75 cents each, and even though something in me cringed when I started tearing them apart, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.  I’ve made a wreath, some Christmas ornaments, some flowers, and I [...]

Surprise on the Porch…another embarrassing tale

August 29, 2011

I’m back…from a fantastic birthday weekend away in the Blue Ridge Mountains with my Hubs.  We stayed in Blowing Rock, NC (which is amazing, and I’ll write more about that later) and drove a little over an hour on Saturday to bicycle 34 miles along the Virginia Creeper trail in Damascus, Va.  It was such [...]

I’m Getting Too Old For This….

July 27, 2011

It has recently come to my attention that in my own perception of myself, I must think I’m younger and cooler than I actually am.  That in the mirror of my life, I see someone who’s still pretty relevant and youthful. Lately though I’ve been forced to inch a little closer to that mirror (since [...]

I Should Be More Awesome….an Anniversary Tale

July 26, 2011

I should be more awesome. Seriously….couldn’t we all use a boost in our personal awesomeness?! Like today, the 8th anniversary of my nuptials to the Hubs, when he fully woke up the mildly fussing baby at 5:20am by messing with him (instead of changing his soaking wet diaper rapidly and getting the heck out of [...]

I Wear My Sungasses at Night…

July 13, 2011

Ok, so not really.  But I do make fun of people who do. I have to tell you a funny story of these sunglasses here on the left though. I bought them on Friday night at this cool vintage store while on a date with The Hubs.  I feel cool wearing them…even when I haven’t [...]
