It has only been a million years since I blogged anything deep or thought-provoking, and today’s post won’t do anything for the average depth of post {re: shallow}, because what lies below is a compilation of random, completely disconnected snippets to give you a nutshell glimpse, albeit a substantial nutshell, of what’s been going on […]
Riding the Chill
Our kidlets have been battling colds and coughs on and off for the past few weeks, so getting them out into the snow this past weekend was just what we they needed. As I sat facing backwards, behind my hubby on the ATV, soaking in the sun and basking in all the glory of their […]
The Evolution of {an unwanted} Design
While you may find this hard to believe, what with my mad design skills and all {cough cough}, I occasionally design something for a client that doesn’t inspire shrieks of joy and spontaneous outbursts of the Harlem Shake. Sometimes they hate it, but graciously say, “I’m…just…not feelin’ it, sorry”. And then there are those times […]
Homemade Laundry Softener
I feel morally obligated to tell you about this stuff, and how easy and cheap it is to throw together. I just can’t bear to pay $6 for a small bottle of lavender bounty any longer, no matter how wickedly delicious it smells. Recipes like this have been floating around on Pinterest for some time […]
No Place Like Home {8 x 10 Printable}
We love to travel. Everything from our 2 week road-trip extravaganza with our kidlets this summer, to the 5 weeks my hubby and I spent gallivanting across Southern Africa several years back. But coming home, sleeping in our bed and relaxing in our own space, is always the cherry on top. Because no matter how […]
Making Borax Crystals {& Other Such Nonsense}
It’s beginning to look hearty-farty around here, and while I have yet to become a wreath crafting, mantle decorating mad-woman {which I fully intend to be some day}, I’m trying my darndest to be more seasonally astute. And with this colorful display of VD prowess {that would be Valentines Day, not venereal disease, just to […]
Growing Green {& Coming Clean}
It’s been 31 days since I had refined sugar, and let me just tell ya…I feel phenomenal!! My skin is clearer, my head is less foggy {far fewer headaches}, my energy level is more steady, and my jeans are loser {whoot whoot!}. It helps that along with cutting out the garbage, we’ve tossed in a […]

All Natural Chocolate Truffles
We’re gathering to celebrate my baby sister’s 23 years of life today. It just so happens she’s also cutting refined sugar out of her diet, which meant Project: Sugar-Free Dessert was a mission I was game to take on. Usually this is our big sister’s department, as she makes the most breath-taking cakes and treats, […]
