My kid’s bathtime: real vs ideal
This is bath time for real. There’s metal, there’s plastic, there’s silicone, there’s bubbles and fun. That is how it is. We can have goals, we can have hopes, and then there is reality. How much we impose our adult will on the situation is up to us and how we feel. Some days it’s…
Comfort and Beauty through a small lamp
This lamp hides beauty. It’s not until you turn it on that one sees this hidden peacock pattern on the inside of the shade. I love this little lamp for my kitchen. This way I don’t have to turn all six can lights on. We are not overhead lighting fans… This tiny amber lamp creates…

This is such a fun bookstore and the prices here are just ridiculous! It’s another wonderful way to keep these books out…
Shopping Local and Small for Fancy Blues
My fancy blues: @popfizzcheers and @mimisorigamis. I finally found a gorgeous blue headband by my favorite headband maker and always love my Mimi’s Origami crane earrings that are multicolored. My head is larger than a lot of people so a lot of headbands are tight and uncomfortable, even give me headaches, but not PopFizzCheers! These are the most…
Protect Your Sweaters: 15 Years Strong
This sweater is 15 years old, at least. It’s from Kohl’s. When you shop, thrift, and/or borrow, buy/find good quality pieces and take care of them. My sweater is washed on the gentle cycle, air dried and I use my fabric shaver on it to remove pills. Pills mostly occur in the armpits. I fold…
