I can’t believe how quickly this summer is flying by! It’s almost September, and I haven’t made nearly enough popsicles this year. So I went back through my archives and found twelve recipes for frozen treats in stick form. I’d totally forgotten about some of them, but now I’ve got plenty of ideas for popsicles […]
Outfit Post: A Bit Undone
It’s been forever since I’ve done an outfit post, partly because I haven’t found a good spot in my yard to take photos, but mostly because I’ve been really lazy lately about wearing anything worth photographing. Home improvement projects, yardwork, and blogging don’t really lend themselves to dressing well. So I have to make my […]
Stencil Your Change Jar
You guys, I have a confession to make: For this project I stooped to petty larceny. I needed a large glass jar and didn’t happen to have any big enough, so on garbage day, I trolled the neighbors’ recycling bins for the perfect specimen. I found it just a few houses down, and now people […]

Everybody knows that the best part of the new school year is shopping for new clothes and supplies, but here’s how you […]

Photo Finish | 15 August 2014
Last weekend we tried to go camping at the coast…and totally failed. All of the campgrounds were full, which is kind of what we should have expected on a Saturday afternoon in the middle of the summer. So instead we just spent the afternoon at the coast. Although we didn’t get to sleep in the […]
