cutting corners.

These naked drywall corners. It’s the burden of a 1970′s home, and it is a  tough one. This lack of character creates a feeling of nothingness. Emptiness. Dare I say, loneliness. What’s a suburban house-wife (blech!) to do? - As I’ve traveled near (hunt and gather), and far (ok, 25 minutes west) I have started [...]

happy hour!

Hey! Julie here for the girls. It was back-to-school week for some of us. As in back-to-craziness..?!? As for R-house today, we missed two school buses (yep. both.) and arrived at an appointment one hour early, totally throwing off the day (repeatedly). Ugh! Something about this weekend will be even sweeter than all those summer [...]

happy hour!

Friday is here! Wahoo! And a yippy! Us girls, in honor of our birthday girl, we get to scoot out of town mid-afternoon to our fave spot where the creativity never ends, (but sadly will be, closing soon –  so get there soon friends) where we walk in the door in unison, and take it [...]

shelves that smile.

Come on!! The pops of color. The stacks and rows of fun items. I would feel like a tall-for-my-age girl playing house everyday. This artist, Anita Dawoodi is one I will now stalk intently. Though technically I don’t understand her written language, her inspiring photo’s say it all. The girl has style. And the white [...]

happy hour!

Hey, friends. Heather here for the girls. What a Friday – sheesh! And no real happy hour in sight. How can that be? Well, I just got off the phone with Em and heard I’m not alone in it being a little crazy making kind of day. The three of us have been busy in our [...]

i’m it: tomato.

We’re on. Here is my tomato and what I did with it in my limited amount of time. It’s a big deal. Sliced. Gutted, chopped and tossed. I heard the permission in Heath’s tomato challenge of cooking something old or new and went with it. You just can’t go wrong with a fresh tomato. No [...]

craigslist: the tables? no!

Ok Julie. Yes, you are giving me a kick-in-the-pants, that has a sense of being kicked-while-I’m-down. (oh, that came across quite sad – I was going more for clever). So this whole Craiglist topic brought up an issue for me. You have all gotten to be an eye witness to the woes of my kitchen, [...]

tag, you’re it! clean out your basement.

Why must you clean out your basements friends? Because your parents are moving in. Yippy!! Ok. No really though. It will be a fun adventure. Nana and Papa are moving in for a short 3 months, with only a short weeks notice. Since space is limited here, the basement will need to transform into their [...]

happy hour!

Hey, Julie here for the girls. So. How’s your Friday looking? I don’t know about you, but I’m having a bit of a fight to stay focused on work. I’m ready for a break! Speaking of a break, last night, in keeping with this rhythm we’ve got going, we girls had planned to connect—but Em’s headache [...]

happy hour!

Hi friends! Em here on behalf of the girls. We had another week with a pre-friday wrap up night out. Honored to get caught up with friend Jenni as well, who might I add walks in looking adorable and possibly now younger…? Maybe that has to do with that hot yoga she’s been up to. [...]
