yesterday i was searching thru pinterest, for thanksgiving ideas…ah pinterest! friend or foe? if you’ve seen my boards and had to guess my answer, you’d probably say, “friend.” but, i’m not so so sure. yes, i have nearly 5,000 pins…top 2 or 3 of my personal friends, but far from the numbers that some have […]
i interrupt my musings on city life and country life and island life to bring you a post on everyday life. specifically, i’m hear to talk to ya about laundry…yep laundry! i’ve been wanting to do a laundry post for a while. i love that nostalgia of laundry hanging on a line and i love […]
one year ago today i wrote my very first blog post! so today i’m throwing a virtual, pinterest party and you’re all invited. honestly, this is a momentous occasion for me. when i pushed “publish” that first night and birthed sepia charm, i wondered if i really wanted to expose myself in such a way.

my first post in weeks, but first a little background. the truth is i didn’t publish this post when i finished it on tuesday due to the passing of amendment one in north carolina that same night. i didn’t feel right frivolously talking about weddings, when an entire segment of our community was in mourning […]
oh my word, it has been more than 2 weeks since my last post. i hope you’re still with me, i’ve missed our little chats:) i can’t even really account for this major lapse in time, except that sometimes, we have to “prioritize.” so what’s been up? on february 11th, i, along with the rest […]

i’m a total beige-aholic. my house is beige, i have lots of beige in my closet…even my hair color has beige. but lately, i’ve been yearning for pops of color. it all started with the j. crew catalogue that arrived a few weeks before Christmas. i must’ve dog-eared every page, figured they’d be nice clues […]
i was all set to settle in for a night of tv: all new grey’s anatomy and private practice!!! but i couldn’t get pinterest off my brain. maybe that’s because everyone is talking about it: my daughter, my friends…even my seven-year old son knows about it. while some of my friends are brand new to […]
a couple of weeks ago, i posted the photo on the left on my facebook page, with the caption: “found this on etsy…of course it’s sold out, but stay tuned…” well, i’m excited to share the results of “operation burlap stocking.” but of course, i need to share the backstory… in this post, i shared […]
if you’ve ever read this blog, you may have picked up on my iphone crush. i just think it is such a great tool. with the number of available apps totally into the hundreds of thousands, there are so many neat and varied things that we can do with it. want to keep your family […]
