Okay, I should have known better, but nonetheless… This evening I decided to be domestic. Ben wanted a vegetarian dinner so I decided to be ambitious and make a Greek salad. I didn’t have a recipe but I have eaten my fair share of Greek salads in the past so I felt equipped enough. I […]

Yesterday I came across a couple of designs that I thought were cool. Random design no. 1: The Container Store’s “Glorious Gift Wrap” brochure was mailed to my house and I think this wrapping paper is truly glorious. I love the mostly white look with the spots of color thrown in and the use of […]

Catching up on life. This pretty much sums up what I’ve been doing this month. It’s really been a good thing. Sleep:Ben and I have been working hard on getting to bed say before 2 am, which is huge for us. It’s amazing what 8 hours of sleep can do for a person! We did […]

Less than 18 hours left in Chicago…but we had an AWESOME time! Kate & I are here for CKU and while we totally over-booked ourselves, we still made time for some fun. Tonight was a total highlight for me. We visited this really awesome concept store called Studio D – tons of cool electronics, i-pods, […]

I know I’ve been an awful blogger for the last 19 days. I promise to stay a little more up to date. I’ve been spending an unprecedented amount of time with friends lately. It’s really been wonderful to catch up with a lot of old friends and spend some quality time with new ones. Well, […]

Okay, so I went a little overboard on the prize package…oh well. It was fun! Thanks to the 700+ people that responded to the scrapbooking survey on my blog.

What is it about new pajamas that makes you feel so good? Tonight I came across these PJs for the girls at Old Navy and couldn’t help but buy them. I’m so glad I did because I did a little photo shoot tonight and got the best pics ever of Ella and Gracie together.  

the grocery game, that is. After a 3 month hiatus from shopping with coupons I’m back in the game! I subscribe to this phenomenal list that gives me weekly updates of what to buy where at all the area grocery stores. (www.grocerygame.com) Unfortunately I have not been getting the Sunday paper which leaves me completely […]

When I was a little girl, my mom used to tell me she was going to send me to Terrell. This was her way of saying that I needed to go to the funny farm. You see, the state mental hospital was located in Terrell, TX…it’s not there anymore but she still says it. Sometimes […]

Nolen was very jealous when I took Ella out last Friday night. I didn’t dare pass on the chance for a few hours alone with him so we had our own date night last night. I took him to see 8 Below and go to 1/2 Price Books. The movie was sweet…he LOVED it! It […]
