Since it was getting to be tedious work doing a book review for every single book I read (like I’ve done for the past two years), I’ve decided to just post once a month on all the books I finished for that month. And what do you know? This two-chapters-a-day goal thing apparently makes me …
50 Weeks to Organized: Week 5
So this last week’s challenge was all about organizing my recipes, and although I knew I needed to go through all mine, I didn’t realize how out of control it had gotten. I mean, by the end of it, I had gotten rid of over TWENTY-FIVE cookbooks and cooking magazines. That’s just crazy. And as …
Tuesday Tell-All
*Maybe it’s the gloomy weather, but I seriously have been wearing all-black or all-grey outfits almost every other day for the past few weeks. Sometimes I don’t think it’s so bad (like the number above), but on the day when I wore grey skinnies, a grey shirt, and grey boots, I’m sure I looked like some …
The Lazy (Wo)man’s DIY Table

The Five-Moment Memoir
While perusing through my copy of the Oprah magazine this month, I ran across this little nugget of an article called “The Five-Moment Memoir” (by Sarah Beauchamp) that I just haven’t been able to stop thinking about. Basically, the gist of the article is that the author, in a time of desperate need in her …
50 Weeks to Organized: Week 4
Even though we regularly (okay, every 3 or so months) clean out our fridge, I was still a little wary of last week’s to-do list. I mean, I knew there were containers hanging out in the back that had been there since skinny jeans started becoming big, and I was a little nervous to find …
Tuesday Tell-All
*Now presenting: Me, as the Indestructible, the Red, the Fluffy—Marshmallow! My brother actually got me this coat last year, but it was in sore need of a dry cleaning and last winter wasn’t too cold, so it turns out that I never really pulled out this beauty until now, when the temperatures rarely get above …
