So, I’m taking a sick day from work (sorely needed); I’ve got a nasty stomach bug. And I realized, I have been MIA for so long! I am actually not living at my house much right now- m job has me temporarily working in a different city for a couple of months. And I hate …
Finally…Friday. Ahhhhh, a weekend without work, worry, or stress. I came down with a nasty cold/the flu this week, but I am finally starting to feel better, thank goodness. I am most looking forward to seeing a sweet friend this weekend, followed closely by sleeping in. I am also hoping to do a little cooking, …
Well, after nearly two years, I’m finally getting our house in order! Let me tell ya, it has been very difficult to keep my house and work all of these crazy hours. Things had gotten to a breaking point, and it was time to get things fixed. I have most of the house decorated and …
I can’t believe summer is over so soon!! It feels like it’s too soon- the leaves have started changing already, and we’ve already had some of those crisp autumn days. Normally, fall is my favorite time of year, but this year, I am just dreading the winter so much that any step in the “cooler” …
I bought some new shoes. Shockingly, they aren’t a pair of dangerously-high-yet-devastatingly-gorgeous heels…they are running shoes.

I love any food “stuffed.” Stuffed twice baked potatoes, stuffed chicken and pork, stuffed peppers, and now, stuffed tomatoes!! They are so summery and fabulous- perfect lunch for a hot summer day. If you have leftover couscous, this is a perfect use of leftovers. You could probably do rice or bulgar or any other grain, …
I am so loving all of my projects around the house right now! I so truly enjoy taking an antique piece of furniture and restoring it and/or refinishing it! I don’t know if you recall the vanity chair in red velvet I painted? Here it is: Pretty, right? Well, the man who sold me this …

Woof! It’s been almost 2 solid months since I’ve posted- that’s way too long! Lots has happened. Last month, Mr. Handsome & I took a trip to San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, and Denver! It was a whirlwind trip, to say the least- but absolutely gorgeous. One week, I maintain, is not long enough for a …
Also over the Memorial Day weekend, we I picked out our plants for our container garden for this year’s growing season! I enjoyed my little container garden last year so much, that I was really looking forward to doing it again this year! I picked a few different things this year: Here are, on the left …
