Over the past few weeks, I’ve been tagged by Jess from The Everyday Adventures of Me in the City, Mrs. McB at Living My Happily Ever After, and Canridings at What Can I Say, This Is Me… to tell you some more random, but true, things about me. The tags ranges from 6-10 things, so
Kvetching About Kvetching
kvetch (verb): To complain persistently and whiningly. I hate this word. It is awkward to say out loud, and it’s even more awkward to hear someone else say it out loud. There’s just something about that “kv” start that grates on me like nails on a chalkboard. It also strikes me as one of those
My Finger Has a Nice Ring to It
I must quickly interrupt my reading of Breaking Dawn (4th book in the Twilight series–almost done!) to show you my beautiful new ring. I was at Pier 1 over the weekend buying a gift for a friend and spotted a tray of glass rings as I walked out. As you know, I’m not much of
Don’t Send Out the Search Party Yet
I’m alive! Although my leave of absence it not yet over, so I feel obligated to post about what’s currently keeping me from my regular blogging, catching up with the 700+ entries in my Google Reader, watching my favorite shows which have piled up in my TiVo, communicating with my friends, cooking dinner, and showering.

All Things Loved In October
Hi everyone! We’re back from our anniversary getaway and I’m so excited to tell you about it (and catch up on my Google Reader!) but first I have to do my monthly All Things Loved post. So here they are–all things loved in the lovely month of October! 1. Candy corn. These little suckers are
5 Years of Wedded Bliss
Hello readers, want to guess what we’ll be doing today? Looking at wedding pictures! YAY!! Now before you snap your laptop shut, humor me–I’m only making you look at a few. I haven’t sat anyone down to go through our wedding albums in years. Or a year. Okay, maybe months. Anyway, the point is–5 years
Feelin’ the Love…And the Seagrass
It was quite an honor and a coincidence to be featured on Young House Love earlier this week! An honor because–for those of you unfamiliar with home decor blogs–This Young House is like the Oprah of blog land. A very big deal. (I don’t bold words often, so that should tell you something.) And–if I’m
West Elm Welcomes Me
I took a detour on my way home from Chicago last week to visit one of my favorite home goods stores for the very first time–West Elm! Oh how I love me some West Elm. I was so excited pulling up that I couldn’t resist snapping a picture! (Oh yeah–I’m that girl.) After dropping some
I Heart Chicago & Nordstrom
I had such a great time in Chicago last week! When I first booked my trip I couldn’t help but think of Jessica from Everyday Adventures of Me in the City. I’d recently started reading her blog, knew she lived in Chicago, and loved her sense of humor. So I emailed her to see if
