Unrealistic House Expectations

Published on December 6, 2012, by in Home.

Hi Gen*HER! It’s been ages, did anyone miss me? I apologize for being gone so long – I’ve been swamped with projects and travel and … because apparently things happen in threes around here … along with Jessie and Heather, I TOO bought a house! LOL. I decided to look at all the meticulous planning the

I thought acne was for teens?

Published on November 29, 2012, by in Beauty, Life.

Maybe time has altered my memories but I swear that in some grade school health class where changes to our soon to be adolescent bodies were discussed, acne was presented as something that came along with being a teenager. No one mentioned that acne can be for life. Through experience, I now know that acne

Christmas Crafts: Pinecone Garland

Published on November 25, 2012, by in DIY, Home.

I saw a pinecone garland on a magazine cover somewhere and I can’t even remember where. The point is, when I saw it I knew it was what I needed for my new fireplace mantle.  After pricing them and realizing they are literally just pine cones attached to a string I decided that my husband

Fall Eats: Creamy Chicken Coconut Soup

Published on November 19, 2012, by in Uncategorized.

With cold weather comes time for soup. It also comes time where I’d rather be obsessively online shopping for the perfect gift than standing in my kitchen. On a hunt for quick and easy low-ish carb, ”real food” (as in- nothing processed, no mixes, or noodles, or- basically my ingredients shouldn’t really have ingredients) crock pot

Shine On

Published on November 17, 2012, by in Fashion, Life.

With T-day just a few days away I’m beyond excited for this holiday season. Normally I dread Christmas and its commercialism which even offends a consumer such as myself. However, our Little Man has warded the Grinchiness away and I am excited to share Christmas lights and holiday meals with him. In my excitement for

I’ve been obsessing about home furnishings/decor since I decided to buy a new house. Maybe you are too for various reasons. Restoration Hardware is having a Friends and Family 20% off sale this weekend. Let me know if you buy any cool stuff!

Giving Thanks

Published on November 1, 2012, by in Life.

I was feeling put out about Hurricane Sandy because amongst local friends I was the only one to lose power. I fell behind without heat, power, and internet. We went without for about twenty-four hours. As I type this I feel guilty because my Dad just emailed my sister and I to let us know

Storm prep!

Published on October 29, 2012, by in Uncategorized.

So, I have this new house. On the plus side it has a water view! On the minus side, that means when something like “Frankenstorm” comes along we are pretty much screwed. How screwed are we? Well- our neighbors have left us notes (below) to try to warn us and the fire department stop by

Franken- what???

Published on October 27, 2012, by in Life.

My kid has been home sick this week so I feel like I’m emerging from a hole. We don’t watch tv when he is around and I hadn’t been on the Internet much… so yesterday the antibiotics were kicking in and he met conditions to go to school- I finally had the opportunity to rejoin
