The Target Dollar Spot really delivered during a recent shopping trip. I had as much fun as a kid in a candy store and I brought a small haul home. To be quite frank, our Target is in the hood. No offense if you live in the hood, of course. But when I visit other […]
A bit warmer, dryer weather led to a winter patio spruce up. My honest report on some excellent online customer service after all the holiday hoopla! The holidays gifted us with a lot of rain. I pulled all the cushions under the patio cover and we hunkered inside for about a week. The firepit beckons […]
My anxiety-driven spending frenzy seems to be quelled, but I did do a bit of first-of-the-year shopping and want to share a couple of great bargains and highly recommended items. Banana Republic Girlfriend Jeans & Sweatshirt I never find petite sizes at BR so I never go into their outlet near our home, but I […]
Let’s get this weekend started, shall we? Saying I need some downtime is a gross understatement. I’ll share my less-than-wonderful-week with you shortly. But on the positive side I’m going to share my very minimal Christmas decorating involving almost no shopping. For Christmas decorations, that is. Not to say I didn’t shop this week. […]
A warm, wintery look in my bedroom is always on tap after our long Arizona summers. But since we don’t have that long of a winter season, I really don’t 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 I’ve 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 I’m blogging about) and my first impressions. Here’s a […]
I’m not much of a shopper anymore. If you don’t count the damage I do online, of course. But I just don’t get out to the shops. This week I took a couple of hours and visited the shops in the Norterra area and thought I’d share a little November shopping since it’s not something […]
Why are all Ikea stores so far away? It’s like a visit to Ikea is a day-long trek. But it’s so worth it! And even though the weather has perhaps cooled off a bit where you are, are you still craving a main dish salad? I made a quinoa beet salad you might like and […]
Here are a few things that have been going on around town and an October weekend wrap up. Carefree Spirits Distillery Earlier this year, DFs Jeff and Sue visited from California with their dear friends and we enjoyed an evening at Carefree Distillery. They visited again this week and wanted to return to this cozy […]
An exciting new addition in our house means our kitchen is no longer the site for jigsaw puzzle assembly. We got a puzzle table. And it’s in our bedroom. It’s so pretty. And then. Guess what? It’s too dark in there. So I had to order a new floor lamp. But I was going to […]
