Pinterest! Not what you expected me to say, right? But it’s true. I can’t get enough. I am rarely on Facebook anymore, haven’t checked the blogs on my blogroll in at least a week (no offense to my fellow blogger friends), and have been delinquent in responding to emails. All because of my new obsession. [...]

goodbye wasabi…hello urban putty!
Posted in crafty things, emily, home improvements on September 15, 2011 | 5 Comments »
We’d had a green kitchen (technically called wasabi green) since we moved into our house. It was the color I wanted. At first. It loved it for a while. It was bright. It was cheerful. It was kitcheny! But it wasn’t very flexible. There aren’t too many colors that go well with this certain green. [...]

A couple of weeks ago our friends Peter and Leslie got married! Leslie was one of my roommates for 3 years in college and Peter was our next door neighbor. They are great together and it was such a fun celebration! Leslie asked me to be in her house party and Owen made his third [...]

Last Saturday was the semi-annual One Day One Dollar sale at my Once Upon A Child store. I’ve done posts in the past about this sale because I’m completely obsessed with it. The only way I’ll miss it is if we’re out of town. Otherwise I’m there. Waiting in line with lots of other tired [...]

Our big summer vacation began in TULSA! One of my best college friends, Allison, got married and I got to be in her house party. (I wondered about what a house party was too…basically I got to be a part of her big day by wearing a black dress, walking down the aisle before the [...]
one day one dollar

My favorite consignment shop, Once Upon a Child, has a One Day One Dollar sale twice a year to get rid of all their clearance merchandise. This is my third time to go and it never disappoints. The first time I went I didn’t have any idea how many people show up for this thing. [...]
candy cane lane

Ever since September my Sunday evenings have been devoted to working on our church’s Christmas musical, Candy Cane Lane. It was a lot of work, but it was so much fun to see it all come together in the end. My role was to manage everything that happened on Stage Left. I’d never been a stage [...]
little chef

A few days before Halloween, Owen helped me make sugar cookie cut-outs. We made sure Molly was fast asleep (because that’s the ONLY way anything gets done around here), put on our aprons, and got to work. Step 1: Wash those hands! Step 2: Measure the dry ingredients. Step 3: Sift, sift, sift! Step 4: Mix, [...]
kitchen redo
Posted in emily, home improvements on October 14, 2010 | 4 Comments »
When we bought our house, I did not like the kitchen. Over the last five years we’ve slowly been redoing it…little by little. We started by getting rid of the hideous microwave compartment the previous owners had. It was horrid. Check out this post if you want to see what it looked like. After the [...]
the big 3-0 birthday getaway
Posted in emily, travis, vacation on September 30, 2010 | 4 Comments »
I turned 30 last Saturday. I was a little bit sad to leave my 20s…I’m finally a full fledged adult. 30 is the real deal. 30 makes me feel like I need to stop listening to my favorite top 40 radio station and switch over to Easy Listening…because aren’t adults not supposed to like Kesha? Anyway, my wonderful husband [...]
