*It is Halloween tomorrow, and I have no plans to dress up (although we can at my school). I did, however, “dress up” for Pajama Day yesterday. Seriously–Best. Idea. Ever. Of course, I was seriously considering searching out some pillows and a blanket during prep to take a little snooze, but what do you do? …
A “Hoot”enanny Halloween Party
Each year, my mom puts on the party of the year right before Halloween, each with a different spooky theme. This year’s theme? Owls. How cute is that? And how awesome are these cupcakes?! Amazing. We started off the festivities by making owl decorations out of cupcake liners and toilet paper rolls (and by we, I mean the …
Koolaid Legs & the First Snowfall of the Year
See? I told you I would post a picture of my superhero alter-ego: Ms. Kool-Aid Legs herself. And yes, this is what I wore the day of the first snowfall this winter. Ms. Kool-Aid is uber-practical, isn’t she? I mean really–who WASN’T wearing electric blue tights and stilettos when …

Tuesday Tell-All
*So we got pulled over last week because our Mazda’s front window had a big ol’ crack in it. I didn’t even know they pulled over for that kind of thing, especially since it hadn’t *quite* reached the driver’s side [completely]. But, with fix-it-ticket in hand, I marched right on over to the car glass place to happily …
Mini Fall Photo Walk
The other day, I ran across some of the pictures we took last year up at Tony’s Grave at about this time of year, and I just kept begging Matt to come out with me to go for another little fall photo walk. Luckily for me, my husband is a very obliging man (even when …
The Red Pants Made Me Do It
When colored jeans started to become all the rage, I did some serious soul-searching about whether or not I could really hop on that particular trend train. I mean, hello-80s-flashbacks just kept floating around in my brain to haunt me with their AquaNet hairdos and stirrup pants. It looked like my willpower was all set to win …
