    30 Things

    Several years ago Glamour released the article, “Turning 30: 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know.” Recently they also released this book based on the article. Do you agree with these? By 30, you should have … 1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come.  2.

    What’s Been Happening Round Here

    Lauren over at My Grey Desk is hosting a fashion challenge for all us ladies.

    Life Lately

    Although I got quite a bit done around the house last weekend, looking back it doesn’t feel like it. Anyone else ever feel that way? One thing I did manage to get done was painting the bathroom a more neutral grey. This is the upstairs guest bathroom/Ben’s bathroom and it was a BRIGHT salmon color. All that’s left is for J and I to agree on a shower curtain and then I’ll post the bathroom reveal. For the past week, Ben has been taking swimming lessons and learning to use his “ice cream scooper hands” in the water.  Obviously he has the jumping off part down. Remember how one of…
