With the start of another year, so come an onslaught of resolutions. I have been thinking the past few days on what I would like to focus on in 2012 but thought I should first revisit last year's goals to see how I did. Goal #1: Complete 15 hours of coursework towards my Master's Degree. Check! Completed in July 2011 Goal #2: Move...
2011 has come and almost gone and what a year it has been. Here is a quick month - by - month recap of how 2011 went down. January Brought in the new year with friends and enjoyed quite a few snow days. I began casually house hunting - not very serious, just wanted to see what was out there. February The house...
Today was one of those days where I just couldn't sit still. I was into everything...organizing the kitchen pantry, breaking down cardboard boxes from the plethora of Christmas gifts received, purging old beauty products under the bathroom sink, running errands, and cleaning out my closet. It's probably because I have literally sat on my arse the entire month of December - but hey,...
I've been dying to share a little crafting I did back in October but couldn't due to the fact that the crafts were gifts. So now that Christmas has come and gone, I figure it's okay to share. I mentioned previously that I have a crafty friend, Megan, who made me that pretty Ho Ho Ho banner I showed during my Christmas house...
Wishing you a very merry Christmas with lots of love! ...
Hope everyone is having a wonderful and relaxing Christmas eve. Today I am just hanging around the house and enjoying being off work before heading to my parents' for dinner and fun. The house has looked especially dapper this holiday season. It is has been so nice to come home to a warm and inviting inside. I am kinda sad that I will...
Happy holidays! I am finally on winter vacation and I am loving every second of it. I slept in today, cleaned the house really well, and just generally enjoyed myself. It was made even more pleasant when an early Christmas gift from my mom and dad was delivered mid-day. I was so happy when this little pink box was dropped off. What is...
Last month I told you that No Fast Food November was in effect due to a St. Louis Cardinals playoffs/World Series induced spending spree. I am happy to report that it was a success...kind of. The good news I went from spending $237 in the month of October on fast food/meals out to only spending $74 during November...so it wasn't completely no fast...
Another year almost come and gone again. It is hard to believe that 2011 will soon come to a close. But before I go into a complete retrospective I should let December actually begin. :) Recently, I have started reading a new blog called The Small Things and absolutely love it. Kate posts great hair tutorials, beauty tips, clothing ideas, and just general...
Have you ever taken on a craft project that you just couldn't finish? You start with such enthusiasm and then the excitement wanes and you're left looking at a half finished project for weeks on end? I recently experienced some crafter's fatigue after starting a gargantuan autumn wreath for my front door. First, I have to play the blame game as to why...
