On Sunday I went to Ikea to buy curtains. And although I walked out one set of curtains short… I left with these two lovelies and a stomach full of meatballs. Elderflower syrup. My sweet husband bought me some Elderflower syrup for Christmas. The story goes that a co-worker was served a delicious sparkly beverage at a [...]

a day in the city
So, on Saturday we got our adventure on and spend the day in San Francisco. Well, half of the day. We tend to be slow risers on the weekends. One of the great things about living in the bay area? Access to the trains. We headed out on the Bart…with no worries about finding parking [...]

thursday latelies
No video today. Was just listening to Pandora while doing dishes. Your Pandora station really says a lot about your mood…sheesh. So what am I thankful for today? I’m thankful that people are stronger than I am. I’m thankful there is hope even if we don’t see it. It’s hard times around here. Not just [...]

happy post valentines
I hope you had a great one. I noticed this year that a lot of people complain about Valentine’s Day. They don’t like it. I guess I can understand. However, I think I figured out why I love the holidays. Even the little ones like Valentine’s Day. It’s my Dads fault. One year he got [...]

weekend recap
We had a chill weekend. Our favorite type. Little Lucca’s with a friend. Got the car washed. Took a nap. Watched the new Twilight movie. I don’t know why I watch those movies…they drive me nuts…I just can’t help myself. Made a roast chicken for sunday dinner. I’m convinced that successfully roasting a whole chicken [...]

thursday latelies
I’m not feeling up to the whole video part of Thursday Latelies today. But I do need to focus on the many things I’m thankful for. Lots of little joys have been coming my way over the last few weeks and unfortunately I’ve been preoccupied with the frustrations. God has been reminding me to rejoice in hope. [...]

i turned 30
My birthday was a week and a half ago. I turned 30. Yikes. To be honest I don’t like the ring of that. However, I dont feel anymore elderly than I did at 29. That might have something to do with the fact that for my entire year of being 29, all I thought about [...]

makeover complete
Last week we were presented with a scary and frustrating road block regarding our adoption. I haven’t felt like blogging since. It’s fair to say I’ve been down in the dumps. Thank God for his love and words and patience. I don’t know how he puts up with my lack of faith. So, even though [...]

lent
This picture has nothing to do with anything. Except I actually did my hair yesterday. Which means I used product, curled it, sprayed it , said kind things to it…and then it fell flat as I walked out the bathroom door. But I also got dressed in something other than yoga pants. Actually, not true…I [...]
