Spring Cleaning and Organization
Spring time might not be here just yet, but getting a head start on spring cleaning might be just what you need to perk up your spirits and get your home in order. There is no reason you have to wait until it is officially spring though. In fact, I took some time this past weekend to really get my stuff together around the house. It feels good knowing that our home is clean and organized. Of course, next year about this time it will all need to be redone again, but at least it is organized for now. If you are ready to get your house in tip top shape and find a place for all of your stuff, do it! Do it now! Here are the best ways to clear the clutter, maximize...
Read MoreA Vacation From Vacation
I love traveling to go on vacation. There is just something so wonderful about heading off on a trip to forget about all sorts of things like work, hectic schedules, and the craziness that life has in store for me day in and day out. I know I am not the only person out there who is a vacation lover, and it does not matter if it is a week long or just a long weekend, if I’m gone on vacation, I am happy. Lately though I have been returning home from vacation in need of something. What is it that I need? I need a vacation from vacation, especially this last time around. Coming home from a trip is stressful in itself, and then to find your house has been...
Read MoreGym Etiquette
The other day I broke down and bought a gym membership. I was not going to, but the fact of the matter is I think I ate my weight in Thanksgiving food. Now very few of pants actually fit without me having to tug and pull for five minutes to get them on. This is not fun. The first few workouts I felt very awkward and uncomfortable, and honestly I kind of still do. I think I am the only person there who is out of shape. On top of my current out of shape condition, I was trying to look cool on the treadmill. I suppose I succeeded until I got off the treadmill and fell down two stairs. Of course at the very moment I regained my balance and made sure my...

It’s official, I am spoiled. Not spoiled as in I get everything that I want all the time, but technologically speaking I am spoiled. I did not realize this fact until today though. You see I had to take a trip to the laundry mat because our well runs out of water when I try to wash a load of laundry, which is incredibly not fun. Well, if you have ever washed your laundry at one of these places, then you know that a lot of sitting around and waiting is involved. I thought instead of wasting my Saturday morning, I would just take the ol’ MacBook and get some work done on a Friday. I mean I have to sit around and work anyway, right? Well, lo and behold the...
Read MoreHello Halloween
Ah, October is among us. I have been fueling up on pumpkin spice lattes and Halloween candy since the first of the month, and let me tell you my sugar high cannot get any higher. I am pumped and so ready for this year’s Halloween weekend to arrive. I am planning quite the Halloween costume, and thanks to my rush of sugar and caffeine I am prepared to party all weekend. Halloween falls on a Monday, so I will be slowing down a bit for that and probably end up handing out treats to the kids in the ‘hood. If you are as pumped about Halloween as I am, then of course you have been doing your Halloween homework too. Right? If not, let me help you learn...
Read MoreMy Favorite Legal Things
“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…” Okay I am not going to sing to you. That would just be awful! I was just perusing the old internetz here and I was looking at things that I just love, my favorite things. Typically we all have sites that we venture onto on a daily or weekly basis just because we love them. Some things are funny, some things are informative, and others are maybe even pretty senseless. So without further adieu, here are a few of my favorite things. What happens when fashionista and Cali-girl Lauren Corad teams up with her hair stylist (Kristen Ess) and make up artist (Amy Nadine) friends? I can tell you,...
