Last week I turned 38 and nothing in my life changed. I don’t feel different, sadder or better. 38 isn’t much of a monumental birthday. Not like 35 or even 36, when you go from being mid to late thirties. Or maybe 38 is considered late thirties now? I don’t know. At any rate, I […]
I should begin by admitting that I have an addiction to baked-goods accessorizing. It’s true…I can’t whip up a batch of cupcakes without throwing some sprinkles on there. Making a cake? I have to add ribbons glues to toothpicks because, like I said, I have an accessorizing problem. So when you combine the delicious decorating […]
For my entire life, I’ve been what most would consider thin. At 5’10”, I’ve always fluctuated between 125-140 pounds, 125 more during the high school years, and 140 after having children. Four years ago this summer, I hit my “goal” weight of 125 pounds, a number I hadn’t weighed since I was 16, and declared […]
Good morning friends. It’s almost 8 am and my husband is still asleep, in an Umami Burger coma. The kids spent the night at my parent’s house last night, and while our original plan was to go to the movies, the pregnant girl’s belly had other plans. And so we skipped a movie and decided […]
(wrapping Mother’s Day gifts and making my own cards this year using my new Sakura glue pen – greeting cards are expensive!) This week has flown by and looking back, it’s overall been a great one. We celebrated my Mom’s birthday on Sunday, Monday I crafted most of the day, finishing up my post for […]

I sound like a broken record here, but things have been busy at home as we continue to unpack and settle in. Last weekend we finally unloaded the huge shipping container that held the remaining contents of our home, and half the stuff either made it back into the house, and the other half got […]
Following up on last week’s special 15% discount offer, I’m really excited to also be giving a Planetbox away! So, for those of you who didn’t have a chance to scoop one up, or it just didn’t fit into the budget, now’s your chance to still get your hands on one! I’m giving away the […]
If you recall from a couple of posts back, I have been helping one of my favorite local boutiques, Tullemoss, promote the launch of their new website and e-commerce site. The store owner and my business contact there have been working tirelessly to photograph, inventory and stock up the new site for shopping, […]
I’ve been meaning to put this post together for some time now, and quite frankly my original goal was to get it up as a “back to school” post, but better late than never is my motto. We’ve now been living with my in-laws for close to 5 months, and packing these daily lunches for […]
