I do a lot of things in the kitchen. Besides cooking. Although I do that too. And bake. mmmm… baking…{sorry, easily side-tracked by thoughts of baked goods.} I also read, blog, feed children, go through mail, and various other things. Such as. Craft. I found this idea and I just HAD to do it. Sometimes…
Jump Around
As you can all see the blog has been made-over! My friend Christy of Ruby & Roja Design did a fabulous job, don’t you think? I super duper puffy heart triple love it! Tim even commented on how the colors are a variation on Mardi Gras colors and how that is somewhat fitting for our…
Oven-less
So, we’ve been without an oven since we moved into this house. I’m not sure if I’ve ever out-right said it but we are renting and right now…. Renting sucks. At least when you own a place you can get your stuff fixed on your time. And it’s turning out that Louisiana time is a…
Bloom Where You Are Planted
When I was in my late teens/early twenties I LOVED the illustrations and sentiments of Mary Engelbreit’s work. I used to buy her yearly desk calendars and then cut out the pictures and make cards out of them. I guess that was sort of the beginning of my scrapbooking/card making days. One of the illustrations…
So… Yeah…We’re Really Doing This Thing

WW – My Foundation Has Been Shaken
There really are no words… (…but I will say, this is what the back of my house looks like right now. They say they can finish and make it look just like it did by the end of the day tomorrow. As my mother would say, “That remains to be seen.”) I’m SO over this…
The Good, The Bad and The UGH.
I’m actually going to start with the UGH part, just to get it out of the way. The house, is suckin’ the life outta me. The one I’ve written a post to profess my love for (but haven’t published yet). The one we are currently living in and need to sell in a so-so market….
Not Me Monday, 3rd Edition
Here it is Monday again. How’d we get here again so fast? Oh well, time marches on and one thing that makes the sting of Monday a little less painful is Mckmama’s “Not Me!” Monday! Here’s all the stuff I did NOT do last week. I DID NOT freak out just a little when the…
Moppin’ Monday
It’s been way too long and I can no longer procrastinate. Hope the rest of y’all have a great Monday…. Meanwhile, I’m… P.S. Thanks to everyone who left such nice comments yesterday about my hair, etc.! Y’all are the best, really! : )
