June 13, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
During a handful of days of spent *recovering* from my daughter's graduation and my son's departure for Greece, I lounged in front of the telly, flipping back and forth between the French Open and HGTV. Decadent, I know, but I was seriously incapable of doing much else I was so emotionally and physically drained!I'd watched Curb Appeal a time or two before and I love the premise of the show. The crew shows up on a block (often … [Read more...]

June 2, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
First of all, I'm sorry I've been MIA for the past week or so. Graduation, out of towners, sending one child off to Greece, and a crashed lap top have made it really difficult to post.

Graduation Party Decorations {and a Pity Party}
May 24, 2011 by · 1 Comment
Not only am I prepping for my daughter's graduation party coming up this weekend (yikes!) but I'm also in the midst of a pity party myself. My lap top crashed. My trusty partner-in-crime and keeper of all my drafted blog posts and photos is in a coma. So until I can get tech support on it, my husband's non-portable, slower, older, and much in use desktop will have to do. *Sigh* Okay, enough of that...I've made … [Read more...]
