They say it takes a village to raise a child. Unfortunately now a days we don’t always get to raise our children with grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins all down the street. There aren’t 3 generations of women each helping the younger to get through the tough years with more than just imparting their wisdom. […]
What’s REALLY in YOUR bag!
You guys CRACK ME UP! Thanks for being such good sports and sending in your pictures. I’m now going to completely exploit you and post them for all to see. First I made my friend Susan from Crafterhours dump out her bag and send me a pic because hello, that’s what friends do. I’m so […]
PINBUSTERS! Flat-ironed braids
So I have this idea for a vlog… You know when something is making the Pinterest rounds & it looks amazing, like the pin to SOLVE ALL OF YOUR LIFE TROUBLES. Or at least a beauty, crafting, cooking or cleaning problem. You wonder though, could it really be that easy? Does it really work? I’ve […]
Beer & a juice box porkchops
Deglazing is probably my favorite cooking technique. All those yummy brown bits are transformed into a delicious gravy or sauce with just a bit of liquid, heat & scraping. I was just kind of screwing around with this recipe and used the dark beer I was drinking & an apple juice box I had leftover […]
The Scientist
I wasn’t going to share this little personal nugget. I was going to keep it just for myself but after reading so many of your comments on the ‘transparent people‘ post I thought it might bring you some comfort too. A few weeks ago, right before Parker passed, I was driving home from the vet […]
What’s REALLY in my purse…
I absolutely despise when magazines (and certain bloggers) do a spread about what’s in someone’s bag. It’s some celebrity who has this perfectly chic, put together purse with things like blotting pads from Japan, a poetry journal & their passport because ‘you never know!!’ Please. Here’s what’s in my bag. I might have left out […]
Where am I?
How to make pin curls- a video!
For awhile now I’ve really been wanting to add vlogs (that’s ‘video blogs’ mom) to LPM but you know, there’s that whole part of video-taping yourself and publishing it on the internet that can be a tad intimidating. For something like a hair tutorial however video just makes such better sense than still images. I […]
RIP Picnik
Tomorrow is Pincik’s last day. Sadness. Since I’ve used Picnik for every single image and graphic on my blog I thought I’d better go through and use it one last time to scribble down all of my font names…I took a screenshot of my homepage, uploaded it to Picnik and then added the font names […]
I love my husband reminder necklace.
Before you tell me it’s sad that I need a reminder that I love my husband let me tell you something. Bite me. Seriously, bite my bootie right now. Sometimes we forget how much we truly love those closest to us & I see nothing wrong with wearing a little trinket to bring it back […]
