House Tour: The Foyer
Hi, and welcome to my home. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit… My foyer is separated in to two parts, so I’m going to split the tour into two separate posts. The foyer is one entry way but there are two walls with two focal areas. What you’re seeing today is the area you see as soon as you walk enter the house. Since moving to Missouri, the hubs and I have discovered that we absolutely love shopping at antique stores, thrift shops, and yard sales. So many of the things that we’ve used to accessorize our home are “found” and/or reclaimed items. I think this gives our home a little more…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 6 {In the Dark Room}
Hey, how’s it going? All’s well here, considering the crazy amount of snow and ice we’ve had. Seriously, I’m so over it. My kids haven’t been to school in 11 days. Eleven. Days. That’s just not right. Especially since I had to go to work every one of those days… Day 33 New plant purchase for the office. Hope I don’t kill it… Day 34 I think he was faking illness for attention. Day 35 Just sitting there watching everyone leave ahead of the snow storm… Day 36 Mmmmm…. Day 37 I need a fancy headset for telephone conferences, preferably one that looks like a tiara. Day 38 On behalf…

Fist Bump Friday: Sneak Peek at My Office {In the Cafe}
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know that I like to do a little something called “Fist Bump Friday”, where I encourage my friends to share something that made them happy during the week. Sometimes we get so bogged down with life and the crazy that comes with it that we forget to acknowledge the good things. So I thought it’d be fun if we all shared and celebrated together. So please, share your good news in the comments below. Remember, it doesn’t have to be big or earth shattering. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me. This week I’m happy that my office space…

KeyFolio Executive for iPad Air Review {#Sponsored}
Y’all know that when I first received Inez, my iPad 2, from the hubs I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with her. I mean, I had a camera, a cell phone, and a beautiful netbook that I carried everywhere. What did I need an iPad for? Oh, was I in for a surprise. I use Inez for reading, quick blogging, taking notes, and keeping in touch with the hubs. The only reason I don’t use her for all of my blogging/typing needs is because of the lack of keyboard. Hunting and pecking on the onscreen keyboard is for the birds. And we know how I feel about birds.…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 4 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday! How’re you guys doing? I’m doing well. I spent the weekend doing what I usually do: vegging in front of the TV. Did you happen to catch Lizzie Borden Took an Ax? It was on Lifetime and starred Christina Ricci, who took crazy to a whole nother level. And can I give a round of applause for the soundtrack? Totally kick butt. And now for a few pics from last week: I keep holding out hope that at some point I’ll be able to take my What I Wore Wednesday pictures outside again. No such luck. It’s still too cold… Martin Luther King, jr.’s birthday. Thank you to all of the men and…

Coffee Talk: Parenting, TV Style {In the Cafe}
Hi, and welcome to Coffee Talk. In case you’re new here, this is where I share some of the great and not~so~great stuff that I find on the web. Topics range from news stories that leave me scratchin’ my head to DIYs that I think are absolutely clever. And, who knows, there may even be a recipe thrown in here or there just for fun. So grab a cup of coffee {or tea or whatever floats your boat} and let’s talk… 1. Kate Gosselin had her twins on the Today Show so they could tell everyone how normal their lives are… First lesson in leadership: if you have to tell…
