We have a fire pit outside and enjoy it a lot in the cool (not cold) evenings. But as it gets colder we are spending less and less time by the fire. I wish we had a fireplace inside, but alas we are without. My parents have two fireplaces- one gas and one woodburning. The [...]

When I was getting ready for Las Vegas I had a realization: I had no laptop bag. It was a conference on blogging and leaving the laptop at home was not an option. I had a laptop bag when I worked, but my bigger laptop would not fit. I also had a hand-me-down bag from [...]

Last week I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new boots. Yesterday the box in a big blue bag landed on my porch and I couldn’t wait to open it. Well, maybe I did wait. It was about three hours until I finally opened it… there was so much going on. But once I [...]

This week my inbox is collecting “You order has shipped!” emails. It is very exciting. And helpful. I like knowing about when I am can expect to get a package because I can try to be home and keep the dogs from going nuts when the UPS man arrives. Or I can take the package [...]

I’ve been doing a bit of online browsing lately, looking for a new bread machine. I love online browsing because taking a three year old shopping is becoming more and more of a chore. And when it comes to making a major purchase like a new bread machine or shoes, it usually requires a clear [...]

Well poop. I have not forgotten about one of my birthday gift wishes- a vintage typewriter key necklace. I went to the Etsy store today and it says the custom ones are sold out. So I started searching around to see if I could find another online location. I came across Keys and Memories, but [...]
