Fondues and Fon-don'ts

New Year’s Eve. Usually Jules and I celebrate by going out to eat (just the two of us or 1 other couple), watching TV at home until 9 or 10 then going to bed early. We’re not partiers. But yesterday, we invited 3 couples over and had a little shindig. I know I might have […]

Twenty Eleven Resolutions

In twenty-ten/two thousand and ten (tomato/tomahto), we became a family of three.  The addition of one cute little girl changed every thing.  Definitely the most life-changing thing I have experienced.  I have learned that I can do things that I never thought I could do.  I changed a diaper for the first time, I went […]

Pomander!  I made some tissue paper poms today for Greta's room.  Five to be exact, and they turned out pretty good for my first time EVER making them.  They are super cheap and added so much depth and color to her room.  Now, I know I am not the first one to do this--I may […]

Homeless clothing

Our bedroom is nice and big.  The majority of the room is about 19'x13', but our bed currently sits back in a 10' wide nook.   Hopefully the diagram below will give you a better visual. I whipped this out real quick using the room planner on Better Homes and Gardens website.  Right now, this is […]

Christmas Wrap Up 2010

I am not the best multi-tasker when the tasks are blogging, having fun, and taking pictures.  Which presents a major problem, really.  Because it is best to take pictures to capture moments of fun and then to blog about it later.  Gah!  One of these days years, I'll get it right.  I did manage to […]

Other people's love letters

That's an actual book.  One day when I have a guest room, I think I will probably put that on the nightstand so that my guests can swoon over other people's romances and giggle themselves to sleep.   But if you can't wait, and you are a sap and enjoy a good love letter--here's one […]

Pillow Talk

I mentioned last week that we had picked out some new sheets and pillows for ourselves for Christmas.  And although I promised myself and was adamant with Chris that we would wait until Christmas to open them...we only lasted until last night.  I justified it with the fact that we wouldn't even be home for Christmas […]

Candy Canes--and not the peppermint ones

 When berry-donned sticks shrivel up and die (even though you really loved them), it's time to replace your centerpiece.  It is a good thing I like changing up my centerpiece at least once a month--it's a better thing when it is still the holidays and I can splurge on something yummy in the mouth and […]

Recipes... ugh...

Jules asked me to write once a week and “share my talents” with the blogging world. Talent-shmalent, I just love food. I spend a substantial amount of time thinking about my next meal and what new things I can try. One thing I DON’T spend my time thinking about is what recipe I should use. […]

A conversation about tights

It's night time and we are in our bedroom, getting on our pjs. I am taking off my boots exposing my furry red socks that are overlapping my gray leggings.  I see that Chris is staring at my socks. "Like my socks?""Yeah, those are rockin'"[a minute goes by]"I think I want some different colored tights and […]

Harrison (and my hand) LIVES!

I just got off the phone with our car insurance company.  Harrison, our Acura, is not totaled and it will (tentatively) be fixed by December 23rd, just in time for our trip to Rexburg for the holiday!!  The damage only added up to about $6500, and all we have to pay is our meager deductible. […]

Optometry Art

I know that I have been raving about typography art lately (see two examples here), but I am adding another one to my walls.  It may just HAVE to be one of the new pieces going into our bedroom--we'll see.  The good news is, in 30 seconds you can have equally as clean and personalized […]

Color of 2011

Do you know what the color of the year for 2010 was?  Turquoise.  Which really makes sense.  I mean, even if you didn't paint your walls turquoise (or rent and are unable to), chances are you (or maybe it was just me) added turquoise accents in paintings, pillows, maybe even painted your nails or added […]

Kohl's guy

We did lots of Christmas shopping this morning.  A couple things for Greta and some stuff for family.  We decided to get ourselves new bedding and pillows for Christmas...which definitely gets me excited.  As we were observing thread count and choosing colors,  I told Chris that we had to wait until Christmas to open it, […]

School Picture Day

I have had my share of beyond awkward years.  I even have my moments these days that I would rather not remember.  And thankfully, I usually don't have a photo to remind me of those moments.  Although, one day I would probably look back and laugh.  That's what I really hope that we can do […]

His Stellar-ness

 Yesterday, the skin on my hands started coming off (I'm sorry, that is so gross), so I really need to keep them wrapped up, but the gauze squares and medical tape were NOT working.  Why is medical tape so un-sticky?!  Since I am sans car, on Chris's way home from work (he had to work […]

Progress in the Nursery.

I am really glad I had those two hours to myself last Saturday, before the accident.  I had been dying to hang some pictures in Greta's room and turns out, she loves power tools.  A little too much.   And it's not like I can hang stuff in her room while she is napping.  So […]

Silhouette Supplement!

Yesterday, I posted a little how-to on making a cute silhouette in Photoshop or using construction paper.  Well, I am no pro in photoshop.  In fact, I know how to use like three tools and I stick to those.  (I was more into the hands-on fine arts in school, only taking ONE graphic design class).

Not the easiest word to spell.  Chris ALMOST got it right in my impromptu spelling bee.  Luckily, it's a lot easier to create a silhouette than to spell it.  (i-t...I know that joke.)  I had one small space left on Greta's wall that I wanted to fill.  So I filled it with her cute profile. […]
