If you’ve ever read my blog before, we have discussed how my hubby thinks I’m a hoarder.
I, on the other hand, think I am a “collector of items I might someday need“.
Case in point: the bookshelves I just made over.
About a year ago I saw these vintage bookcases on Craigslist that had tons of potential but needed a lot of work.
After convincing Topher that we “needed” them (since he was not in any hurry to get to work on some floor to ceiling built ins), he caved….
Happy Friday everyone!!!
I am headed to Kansas City with my hubby today for a little birthday celebration. I’m turning 40 on Sunday. I’m not sure how that happened, this one kind of snuck up on me.
In an area called West Bottoms in KC, they have turned all of the abandoned warehouses into a vintage shopping mecca that calls to me 3-4 times a year. People come from all over to shop block after block of these stores full of vintage goodies. There are food trucks and bands that play.
We will also be eating at some of my favorite restaurants, hitting Nell Hill’s, and I will be making my first trip to IKEA.
The unnamed child will be staying home, so she won’t miss the first football game, and my folks will be house sitting the pups.
If you follow me on Instagram I will try to show you some of the vintage goodies I find….
Hello my friends!
I am starting to feel a bit better finally. Still a bit weak and a little achy, but this bug really bit me in the butt. For a full week I was a sleeping, sweating, moaning, NyQuil-popping mess.
Needless to say I got zero accomplished.
Plus Topher and I are headed to Kansas City this weekend for my birthday, so I won’t be doing any catching up then either. A girl only turns 40 once right?…
Hey there!
I’m back with another tool review, compliments of Ryobi!
Earlier in the season, Ryobi Tools sent us their 40-volt cordless mower to try out (and I love it!).
Today, I’m reviewing of two of their other 40-volt cordless tools:
In a nutshell … they’re great!

You all know that I am a summer girl. I would take the heat over the cold any day.
This summer was rough though.
It was one of the hottest summers we have had in years. The sweat through your t-shirt, makeup melts off within 5 minutes of putting it on, hair frizzes before you can even walk out the door summers.
This one was even too hot for me.
So when this marvelous cool front rolled in here this week, I was one happy camper.
Getting into the fall mood, I decided to make a new Fall Floral Pumpkin Wreath for the front door….
Happy Tuesday to you!!
This year, it seems that I’m on the road a little more often than usual.
Often times, Shanna accompanies me on a trip here or there, but now that she’s a full-time blogger, her need to stay connected is much more important than it’s been in the past.
Thankfully, she has lots of tools available for keeping her finger on her site’s pulse!
Today, I’m going to run-down a few of our favorite tools for staying in touch while traveling….
