First of all, let me just say that this is the most excited I’ve been for Friday in quite some time. You see, tomorrow is our wedding anniversary (my husband’s and mine, that is; I just blog for you ...
You guys know full well how cheap I am. If you hadn’t already figured it out from the ridiculously low outfit totals from my Goodwill buys or from the fact that I will agonize over spending a few dol...
Edit 1: I get the pleasure of posting the (uber) easy tutorial for how I made my party tablecloth today over at My Sister’s Suitcase, so be sure to swing by and check it out! : ) Also, remember that ...
Well, folks, I think I have finally recovered from The Great Dinner Party of 2012. While I say that very tongue-in-cheek since it was actually a very small party and totally not a big deal in the gra...
Welp. Today’s the big day, and I feel like someone just yelled, “Ready or not, here I come!” (Hang on a sec while I find a place to hide). With all this talk of dinner parties and dresses and such th...
I’ve said it before, and I do believe that I’ll keep right on saying it: you guys are nice. Seroiusly, Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the fun, wonderful, detailed, helpful feedback on THE dr...
Okay, people. I’m about to be that girl who doesn’t want to talk…but still wants your help anyway. Because, quite honestly, today, I don’t have much time to talk (not if my guests for the big dinner ...
Several months ago, as I was trolling the linky party circuit, clicking around through the pics that caught my eye, I noticed a trend. Uber-cute crafts. Great pics, Fun writing. And it all kept takin...
I mentioned a few weeks back that it was pretty much “launch week” around here. What that means, if you’re new here or if you generally turn your mental station to static when I start talking about e...
Okay, I simply cannot let you start your weekend off without first seeing this: Isn’t it great? I stole it from one of my friends on my personal FB page and put it on the blog page, and apparently, i...
First things first… Apparently, East Texas had an earthquake in the middle of the night…and I never felt a thing. It was a 4.3-er, and I still just slept like a baby (side note: there’s a great movie...
Time for yet another round of everybody’s favorite thrifting guessing game (does it still count as your favorite if it’s your only thrifting game?). And what game would that be? Why, THRIFTED OR GRIF...
Phew! 364 cupcakes and 360 chocolate dipped strawberries done. One dead phone that refused to charge at home and therefore didn’t get the message that I needed to cover a class until I was already in...
About a month ago, my mama said, “So, my NHS induction ceremony is coming up, and I wondered if you could make the cupcakes and maybe some chocolate-covered strawberries for it.” I said, “Sure, no pr...
It’s Friday! Not sure how that snuck up on me so fast…except maybe that I’ve been busy dreaming of “twin this” and “twin that” all week, and somehow the time just flew by! Hope your week has gone jus...
So, are you guys “twinned out” yet? Because you know I’m not! I’m still waking up in the morning, looking down at my belly, and thinking, “There are TWO baby girls in there. Holy Snikers!” So…given m...
You guys already know I’m expressive. I use weird figures of speech like “sure as peaches” and “tarnation,” apply exclamation points liberally when I feel it absolutely necessary and appropriate, and...
So…the votes yesterday were split about 60/40. 59% said GIRL. 41% said BOY. Welp. 59% of you were 1/2 right (don’t try to do that math; your brain could explode). Here’s the bag that our sonogram pic...
So…guess who’s been “moving it” not only on Mondays but every other day for a while now? No, really. Guess! Today’s the day for the one and only sonogram that we will (hopefully) have this pregnancy,...
Oh, y’all. This week has been cray-cray (and I use that term knowing full-well that I am not hip or urban enough to pull it off; whatchoo gonna do ‘bout it? oh gosh. somebody stop me now). Why? Well…...
I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I have to admit that, while ultimately the innards are what sell me on my reading material, I’m never too upset when the outside at least ...
I’ve had that Wardrobe Wednesday post title planned for at least two weeks, so, of course, I had to comment on it to make sure it got its due. : ) Also, it’s pretty indicative of what we’ve got in st...
As much as I love jewelry now, you would think that I would have been one of those little girls who got into her mama’s pretties and paraded around with a face full of clown makeup—arms, neck, and ea...
Thought I might try something a little something different and link up with Lisa Leonard’s “Hello Monday” series today! So, here I go. Source: lovelyladies.org via Abbie on Pinterest Hello cut...
Well, howdy, and TGIF, y’all! Not sure why I’m feeling Texan all of a sudden, but I’m eating watermelon while typing this, so that might have something to do with it. And since “tangent” is my middle...
Shoooooeee! It was neck and neck for a little while there for Thrifted or Grifted yesterday. And the comments were hilariously conflicted. “Well, A looks way better on you, so that one must be retail...
Edit: It looks like we’ve got the feed issue fixed, so you should be getting updates in your reader again. Please, let me know if something changes! : ) My dad is from Colorado rather than the great ...
Okay, so I might have been overselling a bit yesterday when I called today’s post “exciting.” After all, it’s a bathroom. And I honestly prefer that the bathroom be a pretty boring and mundane place....
Two things: 1) The winner of the $25 Bath and Bodyworks Gift Card from last week’s giveaway is: #24—SallyLustig! Congrats, Sally! You’ve got an email waiting for you in your inbox. 2) If you think of...
Good morning, everybody! First off, let me throw out another reminder about our big Shop My Closet Sale/PCM Fundraiser and Bath and Bodyworks Gift Card Giveaway! I’ve already gotten bids on almost ev...
