Gifts & Labels
Last weekend I started baking again. I made an enormous batch of whole wheat bread dough, enough for four loaves, but forgot I only have two bread pans. Luckily, I was able to borrow two more from my neighbor. I returned the bread pans that da...
Shop Ruche
I don’t know how many of you play along with Tristan and I at The Bright Side Project, but today we have a contributor I think many of you will love. Ruche is an online store that sells clothing with a vintage or romantic style at very, very...
The Catholic School Fund
I started off this post explaining our decision to send Mikey to a private school but, in typical fashion, the post ended up so long that I decided to shelve it. I might rework it and post it (if nothing more so that Mikey and Nico can one day read...
The Bright Side Project Sugar, Sugar Launch!

A favor, please.
Would you all mind doing me a favor? In case you didn’t know, Tristan and I have another blog called The Bright Side Project. To put it simply: we give away something everyday of the week, including holidays. What we give away is based on t...
Closing Comments
I’ve been giving this some thought lately. It seems like every other blogger is closing their comment section, and I can see why. Sometimes, you get hung up with comment counts, with what the comments say, and whether they are new people or r...
Looking to Co-Brand
I might be bringing her back. I’m not sure. The Mister received a partial offer. Still waiting to hear about the commission schedule, but the base is half of what he was making. We are choosing to be optimistic. Firstly, it’s a job i...
Besotted Brand
Besotted Be*sot”ted\, a. 1. Drunk with love; 2. Crazy infatuated; 3. Our new company. I met Tristan years ago on an online forum for creative business owners. I still remember her first post! She introduced herself as a stationery desi...
The Bright Side Project, Even Brighter
You have to love a friend with connections; Tristan always has the latest and greatest stuff. Except, since I’m her friend, I rarely get the stuff! Instead, she gives it away on her blog, and unless it’s something I really, really wan...
Lawyerly Stuff
I have a theory that a respectable number of people who read my blog work in the legal profession, either as attorneys, paralegals, legal secretaries, or similar. Am I correct? If so, what do you do and how do you like your job? If you don’t...
The Impossibility of Being Perfect
I am back from a meeting in which I discussed with several females attorneys a plan to get me licensed and active within the community. I’ve been nervous about this meeting since the day I scheduled it; the day the Mister was laid off. I̵...

Look to the Right
Did you see I finally added two new banners in the advertisement section? Becky OH! and Valentina Design! I’ve purchased from both of them, so I can say with confidence that each shop is awesome. :)...
Good?
I think my blogroll is updated. I checked back to old posts and I believe I linked with everyone who wanted to swap links. If you don’t see that you are on there and want to swap links, let me know....
Feed Reader Problems?
I’ve now had two people comment that they can’t subscribe to my new feed. When they try to subscribe, they get routed to the old feed. VERY FRUSTRATING because, as you know, I can be computer incompetent. How many people have had trou...
Blogroll
I’m working on it. I wish there was a way I could just click and drop my blog reader into my blog roll. How nice would that be? I was on a roll the other night, but I petered out around the letter S/T. I was going to do another link exc...
Blog Crush, defined
[blaeg kruhsh] -noun- An intense infatuation (that eventually evolves into a respectable admiration) of a new-to-me blog that adequately addresses my varied and often seemingly incompatible interests. I have a new little feature in the sidebar. Want...
Updating the Blogroll and Other Fascinating Developments
I finally figured out how to update the blogroll. What a pain! Oh well, at least this gives me a chance to think about how I should organize my blogs, because I really do read a wide assortment. If you were on my blogroll at my old blog, you’...
Moving On Up.
I have a new blog address, and will no longer be posting here. Please go HERE and check it out. I'm doing a giveaway, too, so hopefully it will be worth your while. :) ...
36+1=Giveaway {And a rather boring housekeeping post}
Surprise, here I am! I have a new blog. A new address, actually, so please do update your feeds if you read this little blog on a feed reader. Today is my 36th birthday and my blog’s 1st birthday, so I decided to treat myself with a new look....
