Must See: Captain Fantastic

To me, watching a movie is such a luxury. It’s a pause in the busy commotion of my days and nights as a parent of three plus pup. I love to see films in the theater, but watching at home with a glass of wine in hand snuggled up on the sofa is a second… read more

Hanging Holiday Cards

Just a little last minute DIY holiday project if you happen to have time in the next few days. I was sad to see our pile of holiday cards relegated to a basket where they were under-seen and lamely displayed. This project just takes a hole punch, ornament hooks, and some twine or thick yarn…. read more

Great Book: Today Will Be Different

Would you bring a coyote into your home?

I had no intention of blogging tonight but I stumbled upon this unbelievable text prank on Facebook. As I read it I literally was laughing out loud with tears rolling down my cheeks. Maybe it’s because I have done some slightly crazy animal stuff in my day, or that I just LOVE pranks, but this… read more

It’s early December, and in our house that means it’s time to decorate! Kris Kringle over at our place (aka my husband) wastes no time in getting the tree up.
