The girls and I are in Vancouver now. We drove up over the weekend to join my husband who is here for six long weeks. It was a beautiful drive, through much of Utah, into Idaho and then finally on into Washington state, one of my absolute favorite places. Even though I’ve only been there [...]

I never have the right bag for a night out on the town. Never. I’ve always had ‘clutch’ on my Wish List. Just never found one that I liked, that didn’t feel too dainty or prissy for me, or make me feel like I was a little girl playing dress-up in my mother’s collection of [...]

Happy Birthday to me.
Hint, hint, honey…

We’ve had so little snow here, it’s pathetic. I keep having to remind myself that we live in a ski town. A winter resort town. With barely any snow! It’s depressing. But I wouldn’t dream of leaving right now, what if we get that big snow? And I miss it?
Friends of ours just returned from [...]

Are you all as sick as we are? It hit us like a ton of bricks. In the face. There are two kids remaining in Pea’s class. 11 are out with flu-like symptoms, as is one of the two teachers. We’re calling it crazy-croup-flu-strept because we don’t know what else to call it. But now [...]

Cleaning out my closet. I always do this around the changing of the seasons. Cheap tee-shirts may come and go, but good shoes? A worthy investment. These stand the test of time, I’m telling you. By a bunch of cheap pairs and toss them every couple seasons, or invest in any pair of these, wear [...]

So I don’t know what I’m doing. With this blog. Summer has been kind of hectic around here. And, well, you know. I just haven’t been making much of an effort to get down to my computer. To read. Or to write. Oops. It’s not like me. Or is it? I don’t know. I guess [...]

Not that I’ve had a lot of time lately to play around on my computer, but there were a few late night’s over the past week, spent checking out the links of sites that I love. I found some good ones!
My Mama Made It is my newest addiction, and it’s such a new blog that [...]

Here are some of the blogs and sites that I’m currently enjoying; projects that I’m planning on attacking with gusto; items that have made it onto my official Wish List:
Into knitting or crocheting? Get on Ravelry! You have to register, and then it takes about two days to receive your log-in account information, but it [...]

A little retail therapy never hurts, right? A couple of incredibly chic shopping opportunities with two of my absolute favorite designers (really! these are two out of my top three!) are having deals right now that you must check out:
Puella’s infamous Grab Bag Tote is on sale right now – you can place your pre-order. [...]

I never really did get the nesting bug towards the end of either of my pregnancies. I wonder if it’s because I’m always kind of nesting? Working on projects, houses, cooking? So I didn’t feel the need? Perhaps.
But now? Nesting. Big-time. No, huge time…
Some things I’m working on…
My second knitting lesson. My first was a [...]

I once had an overly affectionate love affair with Target. Back when we lived in Fort Worth. I was there weekly. Twice weekly. My husband seems to think that there were times when I was actually there daily. But I can defend that one – there was a Starbucks in it!
But since moving to Utah, [...]

Inhabit is having a sale on their cashmere sweaters. $100 for men’s sweaters, $80 for women’s sweaters. Cashmere! For as low as $80! These are very high quality pieces, just gorgeous and lovely and toasty warm. I should know. I have been collecting them for quite some time now. In fact, they are so perfect [...]

I’ve been checking out Target lately. The inventory at the mega-store just keeps getting better and better. Have you seen their make-up aisles? Impressive. Especially for a beauty product junkie, such as myself. But it’s the clothes that are striking me. After learning a lesson the hard way, I realize that my day-to-day clothes for [...]

I have been a fan of Hayden-Harnett’s flight tote as a great travel bag to carry on the airplane. For a while now. It’s the perfect bag – roomy, lightweight and nice-looking. And it’s on sale. A worthy investment. But if the price is still a little steep for you, take a look at Target. [...]
