Hello my Dolls! You know the old saying, “When it rains, it pours.”? Yeah, that’s a fairly accurate description of my current situation. As I write this I am currently with… Read More

 So I must take a moment to let you Dolls know how sorry I am for the recent rash of disappearing reviews. In the process of purging drafts of November/December reviews, somehow the act… Read More

Growing up, we always had pets. Cats and dogs mostly. When my husband and I got married, I tried for 10 years to get him to warm to the idea of having a cat. He loves dogs and despises fluff… Read More

There is absolutely nothing in this world I find more comforting than a nice cup of tea. It can soothe, energize, relax. Well, there’s pretty much a tea for everything! Seriously, I ha… Read More

Can you Dolls believe that Christmas is nearly here? Seriously, where has this year gone? It seems like the older a person gets, the faster time moves. It used to feel like a snails pace whe… Read More

So, were any of you Dolls brave enough to fight the masses and get your Black Friday shopping on? My husband did but I chose to sit out the crowds this year. I have seen people fight over wa… Read More

Wanna know something that's a really bad idea? Riding a 4 wheeler in 45 degree weather with no hat or jacket. Yeah. I am sick as a dog thanks to that. In my defense, I didn't plan on riding… Read More

Anyone else already itching for the holidays to be over? In part, I am. Don't get me wrong, I love this time of year, but it's just so much chaos that comes along with it. We all get busy, r… Read More

I officially despise this heart monitor thingy. Not only is it annoying, but the medical adhesive on the sensor pads is chafing my skin with a vengeance. Who knew something that is basically… Read More

So before I get into this, I owe all of you guys an apology for the lack of posts recently. You Dolls know that's unusual for me but I've had some health concerns recently that have kept me… Read More

Ok, totally not even on topic but Peewee football is crazy. I don't know what some people are feeding their kids, but when the opposing team of 5th graders are all about 2 feet taller than y… Read More

You know, replacing cedar siding on my house is actually more difficult than I thought it would be... more expensive too. Fortunately we finally have all the new panels on and now that it's… Read More

You know how sometimes you can watch a movie and it's so amazing that you just have to buy the book it was based on? Yeah, that was me when I watched Age of Adaline a few months ago. I mean… Read More

This rather unfortunate medical condition I have is starting to become annoying again. I guess, the time has finally come to go see a cardiologist and figure this thing out. I hate passing o… Read More

Do any of you have a guilty pleasure genre of books? Come on, you know you do. Mine happens to be a very specific category - Time Travel Romance. Yes, I know it sounds cheesy but if you've e… Read More

I think I have nearly ruined at least 3 outfits during this home renovation process. I'm not generally a messy painter but I've been so eager to finish this tedious process that I have been… Read More

It's funny, despite the fact that both of my brothers worked at  a bar or two, I know pretty much nothing about nothing about making cocktails. Granted, this could be because of the fac… Read More

Fall- where are you? You're supposed to be here but I see you nowhere. Here in the South, it feel like the dead of Summer. It's hot...hotter than it has been in months and it's really puttin… Read More

Oh my,how my arms hurt. My arms, my back, my poor, poor dry blistered hands.... everything hurts. I love painting. 'Why pay someone to do it when I can do it myself?", I always say . Only I… Read More

I'm seriously finding the price of school lunches today to be totally ridiculous. I know I'm going to sound like an old person here, but when I was a kid we paid a whole 50 cents. It's now … Read More

I've been so busy lately with revamping my house and with football season, that I've had very little time to do much else. I sat down the other night and while watching the premiere of Outla… Read More

The home repairs continue... ugh. I thought I was nearly done painting things but now my house insurance gives us a laundry list of "suggested" improvements we need to make and it's right ba… Read More

I will admit that I am an extremely shy person. If I don't know you, I have a tendency to come across as 'stuck up' until I get comfortable. That's not the case at all but thats the vibe I g… Read More

I knew it would happen. As soon as school starts back, my household gets sick. Yay for us! (That was sarcasm, btw.). First my son gets a cold, then my husband (who very rarely gets sick) and… Read More

You ever start a project and then, midway through, really regret that decision? Yeah, that's me right now. Since I got new bedroom furniture, we decided to put our old suite in our son's roo… Read More

My cat is having a field day since we started switching out our bedroom furniture. She's lost her mind, running from wall to wall, diving under the dresser, catching sight of her reflection… Read More

I'm worn out. Seriously, I have been bargain hunting to redecorate my bedroom for weeks now and I've found some amazing things. I'm one of those people that needs to do things immediately th… Read More

There are lots of activities in this world that I find particularly enjoyable. Singing, writing, interior design projects... but nothing relaxes me quite so much as a good book and a cup of… Read More

Two weeks into the school year and I'm already pooped. I don't know how my kid manages to maintain the energy level he does. Up at 6, then school, then football practice, an hour to shower a… Read More

You know that feeling you get when you see a book that just haunts you until you absolutely must buy it? Yeah, that was me last week. After years of avoiding it, I finally began the epic mas… Read More

As long as I can remember, I've always had the problem of terribly cold feet. Not in the anxious sense, as in my feet are literally always super cold. It annoys the crap out of my husband to… Read More

I'm a sucker when it comes to anything that smells delightful. Candles, Cosmetics, detergent, room sprays, etc. if it smells good, I am buying it. I suppose a lot of it has to do with scent… Read More

We started back to school this week and I immediately noticed how bad my sons handwriting still is. He definitely gets that from his Dad. I remember being his age and learning cursive and ca… Read More

So, I started watching Hoarders the other day and, funny thing, I fell down the hoarding rabbit hole. These shows are like a car crash - you just can't look away. As sad and horrifying as th… Read More

And so, my Dolls, the school season begins. We've braved the mess of tax free weekend, found all our school supplies, and have already started with football practice. Yup, it's beginning to… Read More

As back-to-school fever sets in, I sat at the grocery store pondering the age old question- do I pack my child's lunch or give him lunch money? It's a question I ask every year, but the answ… Read More

Do any of you have any obsessions? I do, and I'm about 99.9% sure that most of you can guess what it is.... books. I adore reading over just about every other pastime and lately the love for… Read More

You know, in the age of technology where everything and nearly all contact with loved ones is via an internet connection, it's easy to forget what pen and paper are. Yes, I'm a blogger. Yes… Read More

I know I promised you Dolls that I was going to work my way through all of the book boxes, and I am, but I'd also like to share some favorites that I've previously featured as well. After al… Read More

My makeup drawer is seriously in need for an overhaul. Seriously, I have two giant dresser drawers packed with nothing but cosmetics. It's a problem. I mean, I know that your supposed to thr… Read More

You know, I stare at my bookshelves every day and wonder just exactly how I have managed to accumulate this many books. Subscription boxes account for some but mostly it's due to my sheer la… Read More

It's not even mid-July and they've already started putting out the school supply list for my sons class. At least it isn't very long this year, though it does include a pair of earbuds and t… Read More

So, remember how I said I got super sunburned? It's now peeling. I look like I have some sort of contagious skin disease happening. I can deal with it on my body but my nose and forehead are… Read More

I swear, every single time I go out to the lake, I forget to put on sunscreen. This time, I was diligent about slathering myself down.... I still burned. Who checks the expiration date on su… Read More

I love fashion, you all know this. I remember having stacks and stacks of magazines when I was a kid that I would cut style and fashion tips from and create my own little book from. Even if… Read More

Ah, Summer is now officially here! Fun, Sun, and soon, chilling out at the lake. Which means, I desperately need to go find a new swimsuit. I wish I was still confident enough to wear a biki… Read More

Ok, at some point this week, I started scrolling through Hulu and came upon the show Misfits. I always wanted to watch it so I figured, "hey, might as well watch an episode or two." Yeah, I… Read More

Ugh, I'm getting behind again. I know, I know, but June is a crazy month for me. There are a ridiculous amount of birthdays, my 30th birthday, and my wedding anniversary. In other words, the… Read More
