I’ll just say it: I’m a ModCloth affiliate because I’m a huge fan of their style. They have real vintage clothes, new vintage-styled clothes and kitschy housewares. In watching the previews for The Great Gatsby, which is being released this weekend, I have been reminded how enamored I am by the styles of the twenties. [...]
These vintage bathing suits are some beauties I found while scanning a 1966 Good Housekeeping magazine. Because it’s May and it is snowing here today, it seemed like a good idea to share this pretty summer attire, if only for the sake of distraction from reality. I think the head wraps and towels on the [...]
Hello there. The past few weeks I’ve been in a vintage phase. You’re probably thinking that I’m always in a vintage phase, and you’d be right, but lately it’s been more intense than usual. For one thing, I’ve been watching The Wonder Years series on Netflix. I loved that show when it was out and [...]
We had a spring snow late yesterday, so I thought I’d share a few photos. It was pretty weird, because we had our spring break over a week ago! Still, no matter when the snow falls, this California girl is impressed. Snow continues to be a novelty even though I’ve lived here for almost [...]
It’s spring. Do you know what that means around here? It means high school tennis season! I am beyond excited to be a tennis mom again. My older kids both played when they were in high school and it was one of the highlights of parenthood for me. I’m pretty sure it was a [...]
ModCloth has one of the best online shops I’ve ever seen. Their clothes, shoes and accessories are heavenly! They fit in perfectly with my love of everything vintage. And, they have a new style gallery.
To promote it, ModCloth has one of the coolest new contests going on the web right now! From today through [...]
Do you want to save money on your utility bills? This may be a little late this year, but I figured since there was just a big Nor’easter last weekend, some of you may still benefit from this little tip. This is one of the biggest money-saving things I’ve done at our house: I covered [...]
Here’s a little of what I’ve been up to lately.
First up is this hydroponic lettuce. We buy this at our farmer’s market and keep it in a jar of water {I like to think of this as a vase} on our counter until we’re ready to eat it. It keeps growing right up [...]
We have been trying to eat less processed food at our house. The more I read about the effects of this stuff on the normal {and well designed} functionality of our bodies, the more urgent my desire to remove processed food from our diets. With this attempt, I’ve had to get more creative in [...]
This was my lunch today: avocado bacon and eggs. It was so good that I had to share it with you. I know it’s not my normal crafty thing, but it sure was delicious! I saw this recipe the other day and pinned it to my
