Two years ago today, Mal and I officially became homeowners!! I can’t believe two years has flown by so quickly. I also can’t believe we’ve managed to stay in one place for an entire two years. Remember when we used to move every 6 months or so? I’m not going to lie, I’m so glad [...]

After a late night celebrating Jen and Mike’s wedding, Mal and I slept in on Sunday. We woke up to a gray, rainy morning and no iced coffee. Oh, the horror! For me, I could have easily made a batch of cold Dandy Blend, but Mal didn’t want to wait for a hot pot of [...]

Whoa, it’s October. Where the heck did September go? I feel like I was just spazzing out that September 1st was here and summer was over, and now it’s OCTOBER. Jeez. Although, I have to admit, I’m not at all upset by this. October is one of my favorite months ever—mostly because it’s smack in [...]

On Sunday afternoon, I flipped though a Pottery Barn catalog that I had laying around the house and stumbled upon an image similar to this one: Cute idea for fall decorating, right? Well, Pottery Barn is charging $14.50 + shipping for their “acorn vase filler.” I wasn’t about to pay nearly $20 for 54 plastic [...]

Good morning! One of my goals for September was to buy a new book, so, on Sunday, I visited Barnes & Noble and purchased Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson (aka The Bloggess). You remember Beyoncé, the metal chicken, right? Same author. And she’s hilarious. I’ve only read the first two chapters, but I [...]

Last night, I got sucked into reading my own blog. You know, the “You May Also Like” images at the bottom of each post? Well, I clicked on one of them and started reading an old post. That post brought up a bunch of different “You May Also Like” posts, so I read another… and [...]

Hello, hello! Last night was all about veggie prep for the upcoming week. I cut up raw veggies (carrots, cucumbers, and celery) and then roasted and sautéed a bunch (beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and zucchini), so I have them ready to go whenever I need them. Reduced broccoli is great roasted—once you cook it, [...]

Mal has been away at a bachelor party all weekend, so it’s been just Murphy and me hanging out. With the pug’s eyes all gunky and ulcer-y, I decided to have a low-key weekend at home and take care of him the best I could, which meant that we had a crazy Saturday night together. [...]

Good morning! Happy Monday! Remember my I Bet You Didn’t Know posts? If you missed them, here are the three I’ve written so far: I Bet You Didn’t Know I Bet You Didn’t Know II I Bet You Didn’t Know III I love these kinds of posts because I get to share some fun things [...]

Warning: spoiler alert! If you haven’t watched the season finale of The Bachelorette yet, please stop reading or skip ahead to my dinner. Good morning! Happy Monday! Did anyone else catch the season finale of The Bachelorette last night? [image source] I’m so happy that Emily picked Jef (I think he’s adorable and he reminds me [...]
