I put some “Christmas” decorations away {aka: Santa and reindeer sleigh} and rearranged other things. I love [...]

Well friends, I am finished with my Christmas shopping. I would have liked to have been done earlier, but paying with cash this year has limited us to making sure we have CASH. It’s been great though… Paying with cash reminds yourself of the sacrifice you are making to GIVE (not that it’s hard to [...]

I can’t get enough. I would like to be in “time out” except instead of standing in the corner I’d like to be in the kitchen with my parent’s sewing machine :) Maybe Santa will bring me one for Christmas? Maybe not. Maybe I’ll just save my change and buy my own :) Ohhhh, that [...]

Last night, two things happened: I sewed for approximately 3.5 hours :) I had a strong urge to visit Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts so I could stroll their aisles Zack took off to hang with some buds.

A while ago, pretty much around the time we got married (June 7, 2008), Zack decided he didn’t understand the purpose of “decorations.” Or “pretties.” Which basically translated into, I don’t know why you spend all your time, your energy and our money into making our home so beautiful and creatively designed… But thank you [...]

Yesterday was a great day. I had an incredibly wonderful afternoon with my MOH (maid of honor). We met up in Lansing and spent the first good hour just talking over a delicious Teddy Bear (white chocolate + caramel) from Biggby’s. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon talking while shopping. Then I came [...]

Something very traumatic has happened. This morning I woke up, got in the shower, and then proceeded to straighten my hair. And then I left the house with it like that. Hello? Why would I do this? Clearly this is my first sign I’m having an off day.Thankfully I had the brain power to dress [...]

GOOD MORNING!Well, if it isn’t Thursday already ;) Dinner was served in Heaven again last night –Lasagna, garlic butter rolls and corn :) I’m not even kidding when I say that Zack tried telling me dinner looked great, but instead drooled a bit. I, as a witness before God, saw it happen. Poor guy ;) [...]
