Ever since Trinity was a toddler people started calling her mini-me. I guess it is because she has the blondest hair, well natural blonde that is, talks constantly like me, is super bossy like me AND loves projects, thrift store shopping and anything DIY. A few weeks ago I finally got over to see…

Do you think professional family portraits are important?
I grew up in a family where taking professional family portraits, was a must. Almost every year my Mom arranged for us to have our picture taken by a professional. We would use the picture for our Christmas card and then have a few framed for the walls. Invariably my Mom would also buy…
Oh yeah, I did it!
You are probably going to think I am insane, but I actually like putting together furniture from IKEA. Super crazy, right? I find it a huge challenge and if I can get the whole piece together without having to backtrack, unscrew and rescrew and manage not to lose or break any of the pieces,…

Where to get the best stuff for super cheap!
This is such a random post for me, but I thought I would share where I purchased all my current set of dishes, my glasses and few other things. First of all you must know, that all the dishes we received as wedding presents 20 years ago were broken within a few years. I…
I never drink shots, do you?
I am feeling on deaths door as a result of exhaustion and I am just praying that Tiara will sleep past 3am tomorrow morning. For the past week she has been waking up at 3am, including the night of my reunion. Oh wait, that night she woke up at 2am and then I had to…
I quit today, anyone want my job?
So, I had my post almost finished around 1pm today and then somehow it magically disappeared and was deleted with a quick key stroke I couldn’t repeat if my life depended on it. I started to rewrite it later in the day but then all hell broke loose and I resigned myself to the…
