Please pass the parfait
Today while talking with a co-worker, I mentioned how I love McDonald’s dollar menu. I truly feel some odd sense of pride when I drive away having only ordered $2.00 worth of food for both my son and I (frugal or cheap discussion inserted here). Later in the day that same co-worker brought me a…

3 Tips and cheers for Pinterest
Pinterest has been an answer to my prayers. Of course figuratively it has and not literally. I haven’t been praying nightly for a way to categorize my digital finds. But if I had, I would know God hears my prayers and wants me to be happy. I’m sure it was somebody elses prayer He answered…

Do this and Never do that!
My grandmother used to tell me to never leave the house in curlers. What a wise woman she was and I miss her tremendously everyday. Not that we all don’t know this but I guess the really question is, do we follow this wisdom? I personally haven’t put curlers in my hair since my wedding…

The finer things in life
The Widows Mite This last Christmas I discovered artist Annie Henrie at a local exhibit. I loved this picture of Mary and the Christ child and snapped a picture with my phone thinking that I would remember her name.

One thing that I am not is Polished…..and that includes even my nails!
I read somewhere that people make snap judgements about other people depending on the look of their fingernails. We assume somebody’s profession and even wealth within our own society. If ones nails are unkempt that is a sign of a lower class. Even the color on a women’s nail supposedly creates an image of our mind about their personality.…

Catalog Tear of the Month
I often tear pages of outfits I love out of catalogs. I then post them in my closet so as I’m getting dressed I remember the looks and styles of the season and more easily dress ‘my style’. I have imitated so many looks through the years that I feel as though I’m a walking…

Hands off the chacha
Since the extra calories I’ve burned by not having a remote (you can read about the case of the missing remote here) haven’t taken any inches off my waistline, I decided to invest in an all in one remote control. It’s not an expensive one or the one I hoped a manly man would buy me to…
