More Than a Little

I feel lucky for I have a child who theoretically enjoys trick-or-treating, and not one who actually enjoys it. We were out for maybe 45 minutes and we went to more houses than Princess Evie really felt necessary. She had fun, but she had enough after the first five houses. Better than last year, though–at [...]

I put a Silhouette cutting machine on my Christmas list, but the stars did not align correctly. They’re giving a couple away right now, though! You can enter to win one at Not Just a Housewife, Decor Chick, A Bowl full of Lemons or Remodelaholic. Just maybe… :)

One of the things I enjoy about having a little girl is fixing her hair. Now that she finally has a “big people” head of hair to play with, I’ve spent a lot of time fixing super-cute hair styles.  Of course, the more hair products you buy, the more storage solutions you have to come [...]

I went back out shopping tonight and am happy to report that my drugstore shopping for the week is adequately completed. If possible, I will hit at least one or two more Rite Aids, time and weather and circumstances permitting, but if I can’t, then I will not fret too greatly about it. When I [...]

October made me feel very warm and posty (HA!) but November apparently sapped all my will to write.  I think I was probably anticipating Thanksgiving, and more importantly, Black Friday, so I stopped thinking of topics to write about in favor of perusing advance ad scans and the like.  They say it takes three weeks [...]

I have seen this project floating around in the blogosphere for a while, and I finally got around to picking up some rice last week so we could work on it.  Initially, I was grumbling to myself about purchasing ten pounds of rice (it came to around $6.50) that we weren’t even going to eat, [...]

Evie and I went on a massive Walmart trip today and used a freakish number of coupons.  Although Evie asked me if I had coupons for pumpkins, I sadly did not. I did, however, buy two of them anyway. It was one of the reasons that we were going in the first place. My husband, [...]

Just a quick little note to say happy birthday to my most faithful reader… my daddy!  :) Love you!

Back in January, I posted about a site with free furniture plans called Knock Off Wood. (She’s since moved everything to Ana-White.com).  I’m clearly not going to be the most prolific woodworker ever, but I have followed through with my intentions to build something from one of those plans and thought it’d be a good [...]

Better late than never, right? We have been back a week and a half now, and life has finally settled back into its normal routine. Last week was a little rough, because we were all still jetlagged and waking up at six in the morning. Plus, I felt a little aimless and lost, kind of [...]
