I have mentioned before that plumbing scares me. Electricity? What's a little shock now and then? An outlet tester? How about a poorly placed screwdriver? Oh, I kid. Sort of. But anytime I'v… Read More

So here's the thing. I don't have the best track record for hanging things on the wall. Curtains, frames, toilet paper holders... not my thing. But I'm learning that you can't always stick a… Read More

So I may have mentioned recently that I've been in a rut. It's nothing I like to share because I know I hate reading debbie downer posts. No offense to all the Debbie's out there. It's been… Read More

This past Saturday was my 27th birthday. I'm already wincing when I say it. It's not that I think that it's old it's just that I never pictured me at that age. Or any age past 24. 24 was gro… Read More

Please forgive me for how late this #give2014 post is! May kinda sideswiped me and I'm still all 'whha?' I mean really. If life were a car I'd be slamming on the brakes while screaming "nooo… Read More
