WOOOOOOO, WEEEEEEEEE! Last night, two things happened: I sewed for approximately 3.5 hours :) I had a strong urge to visit Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts so I could stroll their aisles Zack took off to hang with some buds. He shut the back door and almost instantaneously I had transformed our kitchen into my personal… [Read More]
A while ago, pretty much around the time we got married (June 7, 2008), Zack decided he didn’t understand the purpose of “decorations.” Or “pretties.” Which basically translated into, I don’t know why you spend all your time, your energy and our money into making our home so beautiful and creatively designed… But thank you… [Read More]
Last night, it was if the LORD heard my cry for a snow-filled evening. Because it came, and it came down with a ~DASH of SASS~! This is truly a wonderful event. I have been waiting for another day of snow, and I believe Ferndale, MI is ALMOST at five days now. Yeah… I think… [Read More]

Then I came… [Read More]

Something very traumatic has happened. This morning I woke up, got in the shower, and then proceeded to straighten my hair. And then I left the house with it like that. Hello? Why would I do this? Clearly this is my first sign I’m having an off day.Thankfully I had the brain power to dress… [Read More]
GOOD MORNING!Well, if it isn’t Thursday already ;) Dinner was served in Heaven again last night –Lasagna, garlic butter rolls and corn :) I’m not even kidding when I say that Zack tried telling me dinner looked great, but instead drooled a bit. I, as a witness before God, saw it happen. Poor guy ;)… [Read More]
I bought a bag from Etsy over the summer and I absolutely love it. But, I’m afraid to say I’m in love with yet another bag. Check it out… Isn’t it gorgeous? It’s resembles my wedding 100%. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm, so perfect :) And here is the special bag that I own, hand crafted with love all… [Read More]
