George is my absolute favorite website for all things animal-related. All of our dogs have always worn this ID tag on their collars. I like to think of it as their little Doggy Guardian Angel.
And do you know what?
I just purchased a brand new one!
And Atticus? Well, he already has one.
So… Can you guess why [...]

I love Katharine Hepburn. Like really, really love her. As in worship. Idolize. Adore. In fact, I’ll just say it… I wish I could have been her. Just for a day, even. She was so smooth and sophisticated and… masculine. But she was still all woman. That’s a feat.
I’ve often found myself thinking, “What would [...]

The weather is finally starting to turn out here. For the better. I think we’ve seen the last of the snow here. And as the 12-foot high snowbanks surrounding our home continue to melt away, I’m thinking about spring. I’m thinking about barbecues and games to play outside with the little ones and Appalachian chairs [...]

One of my favorite designers for knits is Inhabit NY. The sweaters are gorgeous. Cashmere, merino wool and even cotton in the most feminine and well-cut designs. These are investment pieces, you know? You buy one or two a year and you hold onto them forever. They are timeless, sophisticated and elegant. And expensive.
Well guess [...]

We have hard water. I’ve never had it before. Well, save for the ski trips to Vail, Colorado. Oh, and the one summer I spent there working for a local veterinarian. But still, it was nothing like the hard water we have here. This hard water is exceptionally hard.
And supposedly, we have a water softener. [...]

Yes, it’s me. I’m back. Again. Second time today. Something special is happening…
Puella Petit Grab Bags!
Remember last month? When I wrote about the Puella Grab Bag? And encouraged you all to order one? Because the line is fantastic? Well, they’re now offering one for your little girls. That’s right. Mini-me versions of my absolute most [...]

Pea has a favorite book. Scratch that. Mommy has a favorite book. “You’re My Little Love Bug.”
Right after we sold our Fort Worth home, but right before we moved into our Utah home, we stayed with my in-laws in Dallas for about a week. Well, the girls and I stayed with them. My husband? He [...]



bargain bag »

I’ve been obsessed with handbags for years. I love a good bag. Usually a tote. Large enough to carry my life. Diapers, iPhone, digital camera, lipgloss, wallet. You name it, it’s in there.
But moving to this little ski town, I’ve noticed that I’m virtually the only woman carrying a bag. I am dead serious. Most [...]
