According to Goodreads I am currently reading seven books. That doesn’t count the book that’s sitting on my shelf from OPL that I need to get read. I also probably have five or six books sitting around that I’ve started at one point and haven’t gotten around to finishing. But they don’t count. There’s no…

Yup, that just happened.

Kelly Belly got married to her hunky Russian a few days ago. It was a happy day of wedding festivities, tired children, and delicious food. I feel like it should be strange for my younger sister to be married. She and I have always been a pair. Now she’s paired with someone else. It doesn’t…

Eye-popping purple Toms in child’s size 3.5 are less than half the price of their adult-sized counterparts.

I’ve recently become obsessed with growing things. I don’t know where it came from, but I’m in deep obsess. I bought a small plant a few weeks ago. I have no idea what kind of plant it is, but it doesn’t matter; I love him just the same. He’s got oodles of gorgeous orange blossoms…

I’m hopelessly addicted to Monday mornings. I know I already covered this topic, but I can’t help mentioning it again. This morning was beautiful. I got up long before the sun rose to drive to work. The sky was painted with gorgeous, pastel blues and pinks and the air was just cool enough to feel…

I love buttons. I mean it. I have an undying love of buttons. I blame the Ma. When I was young, to keep me safe and occupied while she was busy sewing up matching Easter dresses or putting the finishing touches on a Rainbow Bright costume, Ma would give me the jar of buttons. This…
