I have been MIA yet again. Totally overwhelmed preparing for the upcoming craft fair this Saturday. Since this is a first for me, I had no idea about the amount of hours required to produce sufficient inventory. I have been up to the wee hours of the mornings over the last three weeks and still [...]
Mr. DIY was scheduled to work in Miami for two weeks and the kids coincidently had Thursday and Friday off so I thought why not combine business and pleasure for a long weekend getaway. Yeah!!! We’re on the plane and the pilot announces he’s never seen a line up quite as long as the one [...]
I have been looking for patio furniture ever since I started my patio makeover. I was looking for a lounge chair and a table and chairs. I didn’t want to buy new so I have been looking on Craigs List hoping to score. So far, I did find these chairs. They are in dire need [...]
I rarely talk about my family life in any great depth but sometimes I am moved to do so. Sadly, Ohio State is out of the NCAA March Madness tournament. Last night, I was thrilled to attend a game and see Jared Sullinger, my nephew, and the rest of his amazing teammates play Kentucky University. [...]
Today is the start of a great weekend for me. First, I have the honor of guest blogging over at House of Hepworths. I had contacted Allison for some blog advice and not only did she graciously take the time to answer my questions, she asked me if I would be interested in doing a [...]
Halloween is over. Yeah!!! Just as I anticipated last Thursday, I pulled an all nighter (3 hours of sleep) to finish No. 2 son’s costume and baking for his class party. Thankfully, my friend, Sophia lent me a children’s sized magician’s hat I couldn’t find. Thanks Sophia! I baked chocolate chip cookies using a recipee, [...]
Hope you enjoyed your weekend. I love Fall! Changing colors, falling leaves and cool temperatures. The only thing I don’t like is what follows. Cold temperatures, inclement weather and shoveling snow. Oh well, not going to think about that just yet. I am going to stay in the present moment and enjoy the here and [...]
Hope you had a beautiful long weekend. With the extra day off, I managed to work on a few unfinished projects and feel good about how they are progressing. I will share them with you as I complete them. Although it’s hard, I am refraining from starting anything new unitil the unfinsihed projects are completed. [...]
It’s a another dreary day. When will this rain ever end? After dropping off No. 2 Son, I decided to head over to my favorite bakery, Buttercooky, to treat myself to a coffee latte and a brioche. As I was waiting for my order, I heard someone say “Joselyn”. My neck whipped around so fast [...]
London’s Portobello Road is an awesome place to visit. It runs approximately 2 miles from end to end and is comprised mainly of quaint vintage and antique stores and vendors. Definitely my kind of place! On the weekend, the shops are over shadowed by the vendors and the street is so packed with people you [...]
