Dear Mrs. Karma, I know that as a child and young adult I was a picky eater. I know that I ate mostly peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chicken fingers and honey mustard and I know that I was incredibly… Continue Reading
I have a love/hate affair with dishes. I hate doing them, but love them being done right. Which brings me to the question: what is YOUR definition of “right?” The answer, of course, will be as varied as the person you are… Continue Reading
I live on the Gulf Coast. Some of the plants you find in a typical yard, you just will not find in Northern yards. (By Northern, I mean anything North of I-10.) We grow lots of palms and these things… Continue Reading
Ok, confession time… Kraft Mac n’ Cheese in the blue box is my all time favorite mac n’ cheese. I am not saying that others are not tasty, I am just saying I love the stuff in the blue box.… Continue Reading
Being overwhelmed by how loved you are is a pretty great thing by which to be overwhelmed. This week has been all about the love- in many shapes and forms… from comments, emails, texts, and phone calls to honest assessments, signal-boosts,… Continue Reading
Distressed Furniture- it’s all the rage and everywhere you look someone’s got a piece of it or is trying to sell it. After surfing Craig’s List, just looking around, and finding 10-15 pieces of distressed furniture, furniture with ugly bones, posted… Continue Reading
I don’t know about you, but I am constantly bemoaning the enormity of my t-shirt collection. I have nice t-shirts which go on hangers. I have t-shirts meant for the gym. I have t-shirts in which I sleep. Obviously, what… Continue Reading
I have seen several articles on the information super highway about walnuts getting rid of scratches on hard wood floors. And all I’m saying is that over a year ago some scratches appeared on the staircase in my house. I’m not claiming… Continue Reading
I have had granite counters for 6 years now and I’ve bought everything from the super-expensive spray to cannistered wipes. I always ended up cleaning the counter twice- once to sterilize it, and again to get rid of the streaks and residue.… Continue Reading
First, let me kick off by saying that I am not on the Paleo diet. I do, however, try my very best to eat towards the higher-protein/lower-carb side of the spectrum. That being said, I always keep higher-protein snacks on deck for… Continue Reading
You may have noticed a Spotify playlist to the left in the sidebar. During the initial planning phase of this blog, we both agreed that we wanted music to be as integral a part of the blog as it is in our lives.… Continue Reading
I have been on a diet or about to start a diet most of my life. Some diets have been very successful and others not so much. I have an unstoppable sweet tooth that tends to be the death of most of… Continue Reading
My house is a constant work in progress. There isn’t a room in it that does not need something done to it, walls painted, wallpaper removed, cabinets stained, chandelier replaced, floor replaced and the list goes on (and on). Bub… Continue Reading
World? We would like to introduce you to our new website: funthingstodowhileyourewaiting.com. It is hand-crafted to be a nice place to land for a while. Please be kind to it. If nothing else, this blog is well intentioned. We’ve been so excited for the… Continue Reading
I travel (by plane) more than some, but not as much as others. I can’t count the number of times that the changes in altitude or general jostling of baggage handlers have made beauty products (shampoo, body gel, etc.) explode in my… Continue Reading
If I could, I would eat sweet potato casserole every day of my life. I love it. Let me be clear though, I am not talking about the one with marshmallows. You can keep those marshmallows! I am talking about… Continue Reading
I’m not the biggest breakfast person… I’d rather spend the 15 minutes it takes to make/eat breakfast snoozing. No shame. This rule holds pretty fast… except on the weekends. I adore nothing more than a leisurely brunch while watching CBS Sunday… Continue Reading
If you are on Pinterest, then you’ve probably seen the pin about using shower/binder rings on a hanger to organize your scarves. As a big scarf wearer, I am always on the lookout for better ways to organize the collection. As I already had a hanger and binder… Continue Reading
Generally, you know what level of cook you are. You may be the kind of cook that struggles to boil water or you may be the kind that can make grass cuttings and gravel rocks taste great. I would say… Continue Reading
Baked. Brie. Bites. Baked… Brie… Bites. I love all of these words individually, but really like when they all come together in one thing. For just about any recipe, I like to have the end results greatly outweigh the amount… Continue Reading
