Normally, I’m all about indie bands (please check out PHOX from my hometown of Baraboo...go, now, oh wait, no, no don’t do that…read this first and then go check out PHOX) As soon as the band of the day starts to make its way to alternative nation, I’m on a search for the next group of bearded boys in raw denim…but then there ar[...]
Imogene + Willie might be one of my favorite places to shop online, and someday I hope to visit Nashville and stroll into the tiny old gas station shop in person. the owners have this fabu sense of style that oozes cool. I swear, it’s so ridiculously cool, I want to move in. a beautiful store that sells beautiful things…perfectly hip[...]
OK, so you are really going to see my photo booth nerdery come out in this post…I apologize in advance. This past weekend, I got to geek out at the International Photo Booth Convention hosted by Photobooth.net and A&A Studios in Chicago, IL. The convention was open to the public to celebrate the wonderment that is the photo booth[...]
Reluctantly, I’ve returned home from a two-week holiday in Maui and Kauai. Every year The Boy and I try to get away, and Maui is usually where we end up, our safe spot so to speak. Our easy spot. To plan a trip somewhere new with 2 small children can be a chore, even when going without the babes…we use to be so spontaneous, and sadly[...]
“Why doesn’t technology work!!!!!!!!” This is what I was screaming in my office a month ago, literally having a tantrum much like my 4-year old’s display of displeasure. Camp Wandewega was giving me a full-on panic attack. I texted The Boy, called his office phone, called our home phone, emailed, left multiple messages, telepathi[...]
Man, this little guy has my heart. It seems like yesterday I was holding his tiny body in my arms, spending my evenings rocking him to sleep. These days he pretends to be Spider-Man and fights Darth Vader in ominous battles filled with explosions and chase scenes. Today was one of his last days of preschool. He performed in the en[...]
Since Little Maus was born, I’ve been struggling with my weight…well, I’ve been struggling with it for almost the last 6 years really; let’s get real here. After baby number 1, I was really getting myself back in shape, but that all changed after this last pregnancy. Your body is just NOT the same. Arms, hips, butt, boobs…and b[...]
If you have been reading this blog, then you will remember a while back I posted some images of our living room … you know that room that has no TV and adults sip coffee and chat room? We have one of those rooms, but one will usually find me sipping coffee, sitting quietly in a chair only early Sunday mornings. The dude wakes me up whi[...]
After a bit of prodding, begging, pleading, and a little googling, The Boy built me a pipe shelf for my home office, and I have to say, it’s AWESOME! it took me quite a while to style it, but it is finally coming together. I love decorating the little spaces in our home almost as much as the large spaces but sometimes find it difficult[...]
