About three months ago (probably longer, I’m trying to make myself look good) Aaron decided that we needed to do something to keep the doggy dirt off of our gigantor couch. The solution: for me to make some sort of cover for the bottom of the couch where the dogs like to lay. So I [...]

I’m not kidding, Amy Butler makes the easiest, straight-forward patterns I have ever seen. I love wide leg pants. I find nothing more comfortable.

Let’s hold hands and shed a tear, this is the last installment of my predictions. And in the unlikeliest of scenarios, I’m going against my fake husband, Eli. I know! I’m shocked too! I never thought I’d see the Giants in the Super Bowl this year. Now here it is, and tomorrow we might be [...]
