Some Final Remarks on the Great Capsule Wardrobe Experiment
Once upon a time, all the way back in February, I was finally convinced to try out the capsule wardrobe trend (aka, where you severely edit your closet down to a certain number of mix and match pieces and put everything else into storage for a season). Well, a month later, you got a mini …
10 on 10 {Part Two}
Last night, I told Matt that one of my favorite things about blogging is watching him read over the posts for the first time (usually soon after he gets home from work, after we’ve had dinner). He’s almost never seen the pictures beforehand and usually doesn’t know what I’ll be posting about from day to …
10 on 10 (A Day Late)….uh…Part One

Scenes from a 4th of July Weekend
Last year, we sort of skipped the 4th of July festivities since we were driving back from our road trip out to Kansas City to see my dad and stepmom. In fact, I think the most we did for the holiday was watch The Music Man in our hotel room and order an extra slice …
Cooking Economically: Making Your Own (Foolproof) Broth
Probably about half of the meals we make around here require broth of some sort; whether it’s a skillet chicken and rice dish from my favorite cooking blog or some pronto penne pasta, broth (especially chicken broth) is an absolute staple in our kitchen. Theoretically, I knew in the back of my head somewhere that …
