wednesday loves: pretty things

I think I’m getting just a bit tired of the ol’ “Pretty Things” weekly post so today I’m starting something new. I still kind of like the idea of having one post a week for a little show and tell time, so starting today we’ll have “Wednesday Loves”, instead! I’ll still be sharing things that [...]

pretty things

Monday night I conquered the last of my chores that had been staring at me from a to do list for about a week. To celebrate I made peanut butter and chocolate chip scones! They’re always welcome in Joel’s office so I doubled the recipe so I’d have a batch for both of our offices [...]

Wednesday already? My goodness! Today is our staff picnic at work, which is mostly fun because I get to wear jeans today, yay! I hope you’re having a wonderful Wednesday!

inspiration for making things

We went to see Inception Friday night and it’s a great movie, but that’s not what this post is about. This post is about a commercial. I’m sure you seen/read/been surprised by the Levi’s Go Forth campaign. That marketing camping mostly makes me want to run outside and discover new-to-me places and I never mind [...]
