My friends and I used to joke that I have enough clothes to wear a different item every day, without ever having to repeat an outfit. While it’s true that that was (is) a joke, the reality is that I have far more clothes than I need. The reason for the glut of garments relates to … Continue reading
Late last year my husband volunteered our house for a New Year’s Eve party with our friends. Theoretically I was fine with the idea of hosting, but practically it was another story.

When I do happen to find something that looks nifty I end up printing it out (or sometimes copying by hand, when we’re out of ink…which happens far more often … Continue reading
I’m not really one for making New Year’s Resolutions; I’ve done them in the past but they’re often abandoned before the New Year has finished being seen in.
