What’s your mantra?

Have you ever noticed how the more you have to do, the less you do?
I’ve been so busy lately with year end school activities that my house looks like a bomb went off. Really.
The more overwhelmed I get the more Scrabble on Facebook I just want to sit and play. Seriously, it’s like if I [...]

13 storage items to buy off Etsy OR look I have another addiction……

Okay so someone on blogland (if only I could remember who) introduced me to Etsy not too long ago. Oh my heavens! If you have never had the pleasure of visiting you are missing out. It’s like a gigantic crafts fair online! It has sucked me in so bad that I [...]

And where I take a tour into dreamland……

The joint giveaway with Capessa for the $200.00 gift card from The Container Store is now over and was that ever a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who entered, I really enjoyed reading all your comments.

I tried to make this funny but I can’t….

because there is absolutely nothing funny about the insane amount of snow on my front yard. Enough is enough already!!

In this picture below you can just see the top of the kids swing set in our backyard.

Anyone living in a hot tropical location want to switch places with me?
Please…..

Oh I am so on to these companies now…..

This morning as I was having my shower I read the back of the shampoo bottle and found this:
Go back to that amazing hair day. Escape into a world of exotic pleasure and unleash the power of your beautifully replenished hair. Seductively lush and wild, this fragrant shampoo, exclusively blended with 100% organic [...]

Looking beyond the mess….

Originally published February 2007
This is the way my son’s room looks Every.Single.Day. Take a close look. Everything to do with pirates resides on that floor. I can’t walk through them…I can’t walk around them…in fact I can barely get in the door.
You see, although it might look like a mess to [...]

Living with intention…even when it comes to hair products

Some of you may remember that I have my own collection of sorts. I’m addicted to hair products and then because of the miracle of beauty these products claims to possess I can NEVER part with them. I figure the longer I hold on to them the more likely the promise of “dream hair” [...]
