{designing a healthy, balanced & beautiful life}
This isn’t the way I intended to come back from my holiday blogging break. This was SUPPOSED to be a Christmas round up post with lots of fun photos. Instead, i’m laying in bed and blogging from my phone at 5:30am after being up all night. I don’t often blog from my iPhone, but I… read more »
After a long day of traveling, I’m finally here. Sitting at my parents house by a roaring fire and admiring the glow of the Christmas tree, I’m officially home for the holidays. It was a long trip with an SUV full of two cats and loaded to the top with presents. Some passing us may… read more »
I’m really happy that you all were so fond of the homemade ugly Christmas sweater that I made Designer Husband wear. Maybe I’ll sign up for Project Runway’s open casting call? As for the actual party, it was fabulous! Jen was nice enough to invite us and she hosted an amazingly fun party. If you… read more »

Well, ask & you shall receive, you gorgeous blog readers, you! Because we moved right before Thanksgiving, it’s been hectic trying to decorate for Christmas AND unpack and… read more »
Designer Husband is a Saboteur! I *knew* I could bake cookies! If you stopped by this weekend, you’ll know that I broke the cookies that I attempted three times for the cookie exchange that I was invited to. Well, here I was all down and blue because my domestic disablement seemed to be getting worse.… read more »
Do you ever have those Saturday nights where you just don’t feel like getting dressed up and putting on make up? Yea, it’s rare for me. But, Hubs and I both felt like that tonight {well, except the make up part… he never feels like that} He’s feeling a bit rough today and I’m running… read more »
We all know that I broke my cookies & other kitchen utensils when I attempted to bake homemade chocolate chips {thanks for all of your tips & suggestions in the comments, by the way!}, but I have GREAT news. Not everyone is as sucky of a baker as I. Last night, Brittney hosted an amazing… read more »
Kant said that we require three things by which to measure happiness: someone to love, something we like to do, and something to look forward to. Did you know that I almost majored in Philosophy?
