Letās get this weekend started, shall we? Saying I need some downtime is a gross understatement. Iāll share my less-than-wonderful-week with you shortly. But on the positive side Iām going to share my very minimal Christmas decorating involving almost no shopping. For Christmas decorations, that is. Not to say I didnāt shop this week. […]
A warm, wintery look in my bedroom is always on tap after our long Arizona summers. But since we donāt have that long of a winter season, I really donāt want to make a huge dollar investment and then feel saddled to expensive bedding for the next ten years. Bedding that will look nice all […]
I probably should have shared this information before the Sephora 30% sale ended, but this is the first time Iāve tried their brand and I was a little late to the party. So this is part of my Sephora Haul (meaning I actually bought more than Iām blogging about) and my first impressions. Hereās a […]
Iām not much of a shopper anymore. If you donāt count the damage I do online, of course. But I just donāt get out to the shops. This week I took a couple of hours and visited the shops in the Norterra area and thought Iād share a little November shopping since it’s not something […]

The polar bear paint was not even dry on the walls and I came up with a new project. One to do with a saw and a nail gun and measuring and paint. And a visit to Home Depot. So of course, the project wasnāt for me. The beautifully white breakfast bar was doomed to […]
Since canned pumpkin seems difficult to procure and since I opened a can for my homemade pumpkin latte, I didnāt want to waste an ounce of what I had left over. So I made gluten-free pumpkin donuts in my adorable champagne colored mini donut pan. Sallyās Baking Addiction has never given me a bad recipe, […]
No full-fledge fall decorating around here yet. I like to dip my toe into seasonal decorating, and it’s way too early for pumpkins and leaves. But I took a little gander around TJ Maxx this weekend and here are a couple of September finds I thought Iād share. Some I purchased, some I did not. […]
