Photo taken from this post Sometimes I like to look back through my blog to remind myself of how I’ve grown and what’s been going on the past few years. It’s one of my favorite things about being a blogger, actually–I can reminisce and remember and read about my life almost anywhere, anytime. On days …
Here’s What’s Cooking. . . Black Bean Soup
Matt and I have been going all out on the part-time vegetarian resolution we have. At first I thought it would be really hard to keep this particular goal, but I think that over time, we might even extend it to four or five days a week. Of course, in typing all that, I will …
50 Weeks to Organized: Week 2
If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that last week’s task (and my first task of the year) was to take on the clutter of my living room. I figured I’d start there since it’s the first room people see (including myself), so it sets the tone for the rest of our home. If …

Style Learning Curve: 1 Dress, 2 Ways
It must be a sign that I’m learning from all those style blogs I’ve been following for over a year now–I think I’m finally getting the hang of how to look beyond a garment’s normal use to see it for its layering potential. Take this dress from H & M for instance–I bought this dress …
50 Weeks to Organized – Week 1
And it begins–my biggest new year’s resolution of the year (possibly my biggest resolution of all time): The quest to become organized.
