10 Things You Didn’t Know
I've seen a lot of 'Me, Myself & I' and 'Things I'm Afraid to Tell You' posts floating around lately, and while I'm not going to do either one of those (at this time), I did think a post where you get to know me a bit better was a good idea. So here, in no particular...
Ask Me Anything
Ever wondered anything about me that I haven't mentioned or covered on the blog? (to be fair, there is probably plenty - this is still a growing space). Well, now's your chance to find out. I'm going to being doing a post (or several, depending) dedicated to answering...
Top Knots & Nothings
I had a whole different post planned for today. But work kind of exploded this week, and I simply didn't have time to put it together. Nothing bad happened, but summer is generally my slow time, though you wouldn't know it from this past week. Old projects I thought...
What I Wore: Faded Rainbow Stripes
I wore this on Friday last week, and I had a bit of fun with filters on some of the pictures (some unfiltered pics farther down to see real colors). This outfit was easy and light, comfortable while still being sturdy enough to withstand life with a...
Tuesday Treasure Trove

Recapturing Childhood
Awhile back I did a stint at a local elementary school as a Reading Buddy - helping a kid who has trouble reading learn to read more/better through one-on-one storytime sessions. As the end of the 'semester' drew near, I wanted to get her a book that she could keep...
Recipe: Brown Chicken Curry
This is one of my absolute, all-time favorite meals. I always clean my plate (and am sometimes tempted to lick it clean), and leftovers disappear in a hurry over the next day or so. I used to have to go to an Asian market to find this curry sauce mix, but then my...
Right Now…
Right now, I am... still tweaking the next design for the shop. I'd originally planned to unveil it today, but I'm not happy with it yet. desperately in need of the paychecks I'm owed. I hate hate hate when clients take their sweet time getting the check in the mail...
