Still on hiatus

But I didn’t want to let this pass you by
Decatur Arts Festival
J bought a lot of the artwork that is up in our house from this festival many moons ago.  I think the stuff tends to be better than the Dogwood Festival.  In any event, should be a good time and a good excuse to [...]

But I’m on temporary leave. I know, I know, you’re heart is breaking (uh-huh, sure – will you even notice I’m gone?) J and I are soon to embark (1 week from today, exactly!) on an extended BVI vacation. It’s our delayed honeymoon and while I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED about it, [...]

Yippy Kai Yi Yay, beach going cowgirls

I would like to share with you all my newly purchased, soon to be delivered beach hat. I was trying to go for something that wasn’t too little old lady – I’m not sure if I succeeded but I think the hat will do it’s job – namely, keeping the sun off my hair [...]

90s nostalgia + free music = pretty cool

Mom’s day is a coming

I get the double whammy – my mom’s b-day is always around Mother’s Day (May 13).  Luckily, Origins is offering 25% and free standard shipping in order to make my double gift burden a little easier (and, maybe a treat for myself).  The sale ends today, promo code is 0508FF.
