One of my very favorite fashion blogs to read is Atlantic~Pacific. I adore Blair’s style. She has a seemingly effortless, but very elegant, way of putting pieces together.

Spice Girl
I spent Sunday afternoon cleaning and organizing my spice cabinet. It didn’t really seem like work. So this Spice Girl made a few changes. It all began when I spotted this old spice rack at a thrift store a few weeks ago. Do you see the $5.00 price tag? It made me think about what my current baking center looked like. Then I spotted this gem at the Goodwill. (You can also find vintage and antique spice racks and bottles on eBay.) While I have plans for the blue spice rack, I gave this ... View the Post

I Hate My Toaster or Oh So Cozy
Sometimes a girl just doesn’t know what to title her post!!! I Hate My Toaster or Oh So Cozy. I Hate My Toaster or Oh So Cozy Our toaster gets used every day, so it is always out.

Every so often I cheat on my toaster by perusing the Dualit web page. I think I have mentioned Sweet Boy is getting braces, the Fashionista is in college and she needs ... View the Post
A Wii Little Token
I am the parent of a nine year old boy. He is currently on summer break. Sweet Boy loves video games. He would spend all day playing them if he could. But he has to earn that time with A Wii Little Token A Wii Little Token I try to fill his days with trips to museums, tennis lessons, the library, arts and crafts and water sports. But there is one activity he would rather do above all others: play the Wii. The first week of summer vacation I gave him free reign to do whatever he wanted. Big ... View the Post
