Last month I wrote about my desire to spruce up the kitchen countertop with some Montana Jars. I’m pleased to say that since then, I’ve completely cleaned out my pantry, which resulted in a garbage bag full of expired food that was stuffed in the deep dark abyss of my really quite small pantry cabinet.

My husband and I just got back from a weekend trip to Las Vegas for a wedding. Just the two of us! It was such a treat. One of the highlights was our first night. Dinner at Olives at the Bellagio, followed by an up-close viewing of the hotel’s dancing fountains. If you happen to […]

I love the multipurpose-ness of these chalkboard magnet coasters. I’ve had the chalkboard/magnet combo on my mind lately, since learning about Yoyamart’s Chalkboard Magnetic Paint (which I plan to paint a puppet theater with soon). Then I came across these little discs which take it a step further. When you’re not using them as a […]

I read about Clinique’s face self-tanner in a recent Real Simple magazine. So, in need of a healthy glow, I picked up this Clinique Summer Essentials Set at Macy’s. It’s a $45 value for $25, and there was a great bonus gift. And I had a gift card. So really, I got about $75 in […]

I received my first PB teen catalog in the mail yesterday. And I must be a teen at heart, because I was loving just about everything in there, with one exception. What teen needs a 37″ plasma tv in the footboard of their bed? Seriously. However I do think these Bahamas Stripe Totes would make […]

I was going to try this chocolate chip cookie recipe today, but my son said he wanted to make chocolate chip muffins instead. So I googled “chocolate chip muffins” and found this recipe from mrbreakfast.com. Although I can’t say I would make these for breakfast, the muffins did turn out to be quite delicious for […]

We are usually that ridiculous family you see on the beach, pulling an enormous rolling duffel bag behind us as we roam the coast looking for a spot to sprawl out. I’m thinking if we get this Water Park Bucket from German toymaker Haba, we can leave the rest behind. It collapses down for easy […]

I saw these last week and can’t stop thinking about them. They’re kids messenger bags, but I’m kind of wanting one for myself. It could help me transition out of my backpack phase. My favorite of the four available styles is this Sporty Stripes Cocoa. $32.95 at simple me boutique via Tangled and True
