By: jennifer on 08/31/10 @ 12:03 am

Clueless about organizing for back to school? Don’t worry – I’ll school you! So much has changed since the days when I was getting ready to go back to school each fall. Seems cell phones and laptops are necessities and that’s just for the kindergarteners! Thankfully things haven’t changed so much that I don’t recognize [...]

Gloveables – do-gooders that help you look great

By: Alyssa on 08/9/10 @ 12:03 am

I’m going to make a confession. I’m a little in love with being a housewife. Not a Desperate Housewife, (though this product has been seen on screen on this very show) who needs all that drama and dying in your life? I mean being a Housewife; the 1950’s version that never really existed. I want [...]




Spring is always in Bloom with Hillhouse Naturals

By: Mel on 07/23/10 @ 12:02 am

Spring mornings are one of my favorite things. I get a rush of excitement upon opening the first set of blinds and seeing that soft, bright light stream through the house. Opening the door and getting enveloped with warm, fresh breezes just sends me over the top! Who doesn’t love that time of the year?! [...]

I must admit, it’s reason number 4 that did it for me. I didn’t want to create a DIY cleaner just because [...]




West Elm loves Mike Miller (and so do we!)

By: Stef on 06/29/10 @ 10:00 pm

I received a delightful surprise in the West Elm fall preview catalog, where they showcased their collaboration with artist Mike Miller. Not because I love the collection (I do). Nor because I have a soft spot for silhouettes (I really do!) But because Mike is an old friend of mine. I’m not sure if I’m [...]




Get Fit at the Office – Work Out at your Desk!

By: Cori on 06/24/10 @ 12:01 am

I’m always promising myself that today’s the day I’ll start working out, but it doesn’t seem to happen… It’s not that I don’t want to, I mean, a part of me yearns for that “perfect” body, who doesn’t? But I just can’t seem to get into a regular workout habit. I’m so tired when I [...]




Etsy 4 for Friday – Flower Power

By: Tyna Werner on 06/4/10 @ 12:01 am
