The mix of scrolling Facebook and the COVID-19 coop up has caused me (and many others) a lot of anxiety. All the fighting and speculation. I’d had it. But there were a few choice Facebook Friends that were making me laugh. One gentleman in particular really raised the bar when it came to posting. His name Scott Wostal...we went to high[...]
Today's post was supposed to be about pretty outdoor home decor to zhush up your patio, but all that changed when I read that the Payroll Protection Program (PPP Loans) funding designed to help small businesses during the COVID-19 crisis has run out of money. This is not a democrat versus republican post, but rather an open letter to our[...]
In case you haven't heard the news, it was just announced that I will be one of the One Room Challenge Spring 2020 featured designers! Holy scream emoji! Exciting right!?!?!? When I first discovered the One Room Challenge, six some years ago, I was in the middle of the guest bedroom makeover in our old house and completely befuddled why[...]
It's quite the honor to be part of the Better Homes & Gardens Style Maker event. Last year I was invited but it was a bust...if you saw my Instagram Stories, you know that I became deathly ill the night before with the flu, stuck in my hotel room. Cooper and Zoe got it before I left, and at 2 AM, the day of Style Maker, I became the[...]
It's easy to forget that you may know a lot about my home but maybe not a lot about me. So I thought I'd pop in and list out a few things about me! I love shopping for makeup. Self-proclaimed product whore right here. If it moisturizes, prevents wrinkles, lengthens lashes, or smells amazing, I’m all in. The girly girl comes[...]
Have you ever defriended someone on social media? I've done it many times on Instagram. That platform for me is work, and I need to stay focused. So if you're a friend reading this, you now know why I don't follow that portion of your digital life. Momma don't have time for rabbit holes. Should I Unfriend Someone On Facebook? Unfol[...]
While scrolling through Instagram today, I happened upon the Explore page and one video, in particular, caught my eye. It was a woman standing on top of a high dive…afraid to jump. It was posted by Will Smith, and he’s giving one of those uplifting do-gooder speeches that I usually watch with rolling eyes and skip. For some reason to[...]
The dreaded mammogram — before I had one, I pretty much grouped that appointment in with getting my teeth drilled. Word on the street was, they are painful and you have a machine squeeze your boobs flat into pancakes. I'm assuming you men would put it right up there with a prostate exam. After having my second child, I asked my[...]
If you've ever lost your job, then you know it's a flat-out traumatic experience. This was my third... no fourth time in the world of layoffs. And no, it's not because I am a sh*tty employee. I rarely called in sick, if ever and never ever missed a deadline. So why all the layoffs? Oh, how I wish I knew. Maybe it's the state of the econo[...]
