As many of you know, Google Reader is finito as of July 1, 2013. Sadness! You all know how much I adored the next button, right? When presented with a conundrum like this, you can choose two different routes. Remain in complete denial until POOF, your RSS feeder has completely disappeared, taking with it all [...]
photo credit: Dinner: A Love Story 1. Jenny from Dinner: A Love Story pretty much rocked my ever-loving socks off when I bought her book last year, and she’s done it again with her 100 Rules of Dinner. You guys, if you click one link in the post, let it be this one. BRILLIANT. (Some [...]
1. I can’t stop watching this video of Marina Abramovic and her past performance art collaborator and lover, Ulay. You can read more about her here, but this video was shot during the performance piece “The Artist is Present” at MoMA in 2010. This was her most popular performance piece – a 736-hour and 30-minute [...]
Behind these doors lives the greatest laundry solution ever. Hanging laundry baskets, my friends.
Okay fellow librarian wannabes, quick update on the book situation. I finished The Paris Wife last week, and, well, I find most books fit into one of two categories. 1. I can’t wait to turn the page because I’m completely enthralled in the book OR, 2. I can’t wait to turn the page because I’m [...]
I have a confession to make, and it’s quite a source of embarrassment for me. (Trust me, I would rather admit to something to effect of shoplifting or picking and ingesting one’s boogers than what I’m about to tell you.) Breathe, Sarah. I only read 5 books last year, and three of them were the [...]
1. Now, THAT’S a beard. photo credit: Jimmy Niggles Pipe Series 2. I just barreled through Season 1 and 2 of Homeland over the past two weeks. Oh, wow. So so good, and I’m genuinely sad over the ending of the second season. Why did that happen? WHHHYYYYYYYY, I ASK OF YOU? Seriously, I’ve found [...]
It’s no secret that I’m an organizational freak. I love rearranging and purging items, making lists, and making lists within lists…essentially compartmentalizing my entire existence, you see. If I find something that feeds my organizational frenzy AND is totally stylish, I’m so in. Enter Truffle. You guys, these pouches are so perfect. How many of [...]
1. From Your Freezer To Your Family: Slow Cooker Freezer Recipes I don’t even know where to begin with this eCookbook because I love it so much. It’s like the perfect trifecta of slow cooker love, organization, and healthy meals. Now, if one of those three descriptors interests you, put this on your list, however, [...]
Happy Halloween from Super Mario and Princess Peach! (These photos were taken at Camp Spooky a few weeks ago at Knotts Berry Farm, which was a blast. Considering I hadn’t been to Knott’s in over 25 years, I was really, really surprised at how much fun we had. So much so that this gal might [...]
1. Above are two favorite pins from last week. One made me nod and one made me laugh, but truer words were never spoken. (Although, I just finished writing a post for Women & Co in an attempt to disprove #2. We’ll see.) 2. Things are really looking good at the house. I have a [...]
Friends, the days of shopping for my closet are over. In the course of one short month, my thought process has gone from, “I love it. I think I’ll buy it.” to “I love it. But I love a Bosch cooktop for the kitchen even more.” Priorities, man. What’s a gal to do? Share the [...]
Hello! I disappeared there for second, didn’t I? It’s just that I’ve been, you know, doing stuff. All in a tremendous effort to stop thinking about the new house (yay!) and escrow (stressful!) and renovations (new kitchen!) and new schools (hope it works out!) and letting the nanny go (oh my goodness, I don’t want [...]
You all, we got The House. We. Got. The. House. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Let me back up a bit. So, I wrote the post. Several days passed…D and I were still in the dumps about losing the property, and we just couldn’t buck up and move on. Now, besides my flair for the occasional [...]
For two years now, I’ve tried to complete a 90-Day No Shopping Challenge at the first of the year. I’ve failed both times. (I made it 8 and 9 weeks, though. Doesn’t that count for ANYTHING?) The first thing I do when gearing up for the challenge is unsubscribe from every single retail/flash sale email [...]
