I’m not sure who’s being sleep trained…but it’s not him.

001-Lo-Fi

    We have one of those clocks that projects the time onto the ceiling.  It makes it so I don’t have to get up on my elbow and look over my husband in the night to see the clock, which lives on his side of the bed.  I lie awake, staring at the time [...]

I really really fell in love with these cute birdcages I found.  They are designed for outdoor decor ( I think this one is supposed to have a plant put inside it) but I thought it would be super cute hanging in my living room.  And if I was going to have it in my [...]

We usually buy a spice packet from the grocery store to make our pasta salad dressing but [...]

What Every Blogger Should Know about Copyright Infringement

don't be this dude

Recently I got a notification (pingback) that one of my posts had been linked to.  Score! Right?  I mean, links are to bloggers like nuts are to squirrels. We scurry around doing everything we can to store up links in the ol Google Tree.  The more the better! I’d never heard of this other blog [...]
