It's not even September yet and I've went out an bought a mum. (It's that little thing in the middle of the Walmart olive bucket) With school starting so early this year, it just felt like time to jump on the fall decorating bandwagon. Or would that be hay wagon? Adding a fall mum, kale...
Sharpening My Pencils
I put my son on the bus this morning. First day of school!!! We've had a wonderful summer, but it's time to get back to school. And back to work. Well, blogging I guess. Not sure if you can call something that you love work. I found this pencil sharpener at an estate sale this...
The Summer Dilemma
Summer is always a dilemma for me. I want to blog. There's a lot going on that I could blog about. Lots of things I could take photos of. Lots of fantastic blogs I could submerge myself in. But I also want my son to have as normal a summer as he can. The two...

Thrifting In H E Double Toothpicks
Today is a scorcher. Hot enough that only a fool would be out garage sale-ing today. But I took one for the team and went ahead and went out for a few minutes this morning. Side note - Tim Hortons' sour cream glazed donuts don't do well in a hot car for very long. Yes,...
