When the hubs and I got married, we did things the quick and easy way: we went to the Justice of the Peace. We wanted to have a wedding but we were both in the military, the hubs was on orders, and our friends and family weren’t local. We thought we’d have the big shindig…
Granny Square Afghan {In the Craft Room}
For about a year and half, the hubs has been telling me that I need to make something for the house. And each time he says it, I agree and then I pack up whatever project I’ve been working on and I ship it off to a new home. My intent wasn’t to ignore him,…

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moen, Incorporated for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. If you think living with toddlers is messy, try living with teenagers! I don’t know what it is about those “T~Agers” but they seem to leave fingerprints everywhere: the microwave, the refrigerator, my computer screen,…

It’s the Little Things {In the Dark Room}
I realized this morning that it’s been a while since I’ve shared a photo from my 365 Project: 2013 Edition. Truth be told, I’m having a difficult time keeping up with the project. There’ve been times when I just haven’t felt inspired. I see my camera sitting on the end table and have no real…

Distracted Students and Shattered Dreams {In the Cafe}

The Big Chop {About Me}
I did it. The Big Chop. All of my hair is gone. I’m not sure if it’s liberation or panic that I feel. Probably a little bit of both. Two years ago, I started transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. It wasn’t a political statement, it was more of a I~don’t~feel~like~bending~over~that~tub~to~wash~that~stuff~out~of~my~hair kinda thing. Or call…
Coffee Talk {In the Cafe}
1. Last week, a federal judge in Brooklyn, New York ordered that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration make the morning after pill available without a prescription to women of all ages. This includes girls under the age of 17. I’m not going to get into the discussion over whether abortion should be legal or…
