As I’ve been trying to build my wardrobe up, I’ve thought to (finally) try Dia & Co. I kept seeing reviews and videos, and then I decided “oh why not?” when they had a promotion that had the style fee of $20 waved on the first box. I was prepared to hate everything and send …
I’ve been doing a lot of revamping of my wardrobe, as I’ve mentioned. One of the big things I’ve been doing is trying to be more intentional about what I make – ensuring that what I make will blend in well with what I already have. I won’t go into a lot of details here, …
Today and tomorrow, I’m on the Breaking Ground Blog Tour. Be sure you read to the end for a cool giveaway. For today’s stop on the tour, I made my first coat. I was pretty indecisive about what coat I wanted to make. I wound up deciding to use some Italian tweed I had in …
We have a pesky cardinal that likes to say “hello” twice a day by attacking our windows. Every day I think, “I really should put some stickers on these windows,” and every day I forget about that thought. Mr. 3 likes to sit and watch said cardinal, and he’s filled with lots of questions about birds. In …
This last week flew by, and it’s already Wednesday again! I have a new set of things I’m obsessed with this week. (Funny how that works, isn’t it?)

Sometimes, revenge can be pretty sweet. Other times, it brings about more than we’ve bargained for. That’s one of the reasons I feel like the best revenge (in my own life) is letting nature take its course with those who have wronged me – but that doesn’t make for very good fiction. The Hiding Place, …
Siblings can have no more in common than their parents, sometimes – even twins. I know growing up, my brothers and I couldn’t have been more different from one another. Claire Adam’s Golden Child explores this theme. Peter and Paul, twins, are nothing alike. Peter is the “golden child” while Paul has always been a …
While I’m all for going to the doctor when needed, it’s good to know what remedies can help with which ailments. Our whole household has been battling rounds of the winter crud, so getting to review Nature’s Best Remedies, published by National Geographic, made perfect sense. The book is arranged by use – respiratory remedies, …
I love to travel. I don’t do it nearly enough at the moment, but hopefully that will change later this year. For Christmas, I got a couple of travel books for exploring Kansas, and I’m really excited to do that and write about where we go. Near the end of last year, I shared an …
