Hello Again

I am endeavoring to stay up on my blog for my dear sister’s sake-unbeknownst to me, she tries to read my blog every day–I have not posted in four months. Why I picked Easter weekend to update I do not know. I have done a few makeovers in my house, but don’t have pictures on [...]

Entertainment Center Re-do

I inherited this entertainment center from my husband when we got married. It really is not either one of our tastes, but for the moment, it is what we have. So many things about this bother me, where to start? My 10-month-old loved pulling all the DVDs off the shelves (notice how they are all [...]

Musical Mondays: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

Okay, so here’s a new installment for you: Musical Mondays! Lame title but the idea is that (hopefully) every Monday I’ll post a review of an artist, band, etc, giving you my thoughts on them. Either from my own eclectic range of artists on my iPod, or one of you can submit and artist you’d [...]

So basically, I want [...]

The Blonds: Asian Glamazon Style for NYFW

Mother’s Day Brunch at my house!

So, I mixed up the order of the pictures in this post and I just don’t have time to go back and fix it right now. So…this is a body scrub that I made for my mom and mother-in-law. I got the recipe from Stephanie Lynn at underthetableanddreaming.com My mother-in-law tried it and told my [...]

Look like a fashion goddess

For Halloween last year, I was determined to dress as a Greek goddess…because, well…it seemed like a cheap costume — buy a big white sheet and pin in strategic places, then belt with some silk cord. It seemed easy enough… …until the sheet started to fray everywhere I cut it. And it was stiff and [...]

Trying My Hand at Building!

Here is what my 4-year-old daughter and I have been working on! We got the plans from Anna White at Knockoffwood.com. She has an amazing array of furniture plans that she offers for free use. After looking at all the incredible photos of what beginning builders (and by beginning I mean, “I have never built [...]
