Holy smokes! When I wrote that post about losing my job yesterday, I didn't realize it would resonate with so many readers. I just wanted to pop in really quick to say thank you. Thank you for taking the time to read the post. Thank you for all the emails of encouragement. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. Thank you, just thank[...]
I write this post not to ask for pity or hugs or sympathy, but rather to be authentic. For some weird reason, I like to make the good, bad, and ugly days of my life public. Social media is a fickle beast. More often than not we scroll through Facebook only to see our "friends" on vacation in Maui or how amazing their kids are. Everything[...]
How are we possibly halfway through July, and did we somehow skip Spring? Summer just needs to slow down a bit. Or maybe it’s life in general that needs to slow down. It’s probably both.

Here at House Of Hipsters, I like to change it up and run this fun little post every few months. Today I’ve decided to name it “Getting To Know You, Getting To Know Me”. Mainly because I have absolutely no idea what I named it last time. It’s been WAY too long and it applies to everyone. My readers from 2 years ago, brand new read[...]
I think one of the most fun and interesting posts I see bloggers do is the What's In My Bag post. Maybe it's me being nosey and curious, or maybe it's wanting to know another lady's favorite lipstick or reading material. I'm not sure. But one thing's for sure, I carry EVERYTHING in my bag. Since my commute is 3 hours long round trip, my[...]
Let's take a mini-vacation to Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, WI. I've been dying to share our yummy weekend getaway, but after arriving home, I immediately unpacked and got to work processing the photos. Magical, Camp Wandawega is just magical! I just can't stop gushing about it. It was quiet, cozy, quaint, and everything we wanted it to be![...]
OMG! OMG! OMG! I’m totally geeking out! In fact, you could say I’m a giddy little school girl jumping up and down with glee. My pipe shelf photo was one of the 14 chosen in the #MYDOMAINE Instagram Challenge! All participants were asked to show off their proudest organization moment. To be included with names like Honey Lake S[...]
