Laundry Room Remodel

Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry. One of the previous owners had installed built-in shelves, but they were starting to sag and had no adjustability. The shelves were stationary and couldn’t move up or down. Some of them were super deep

Bengals Hair Accessories

  Lately, this pumpkin is the only thing wearing the Bengals headbands and hair bows. Because, apparently, those are so.last.season. At least according to my girls.   But then I got some football ribbon from a friend. And Stella spotted the “bengal tiger” ribbon at Walmart. So the girls are now happy owners of Bengals pony

I recently got to make some more school spirit hair accessories!   These were for the Three Rivers School District Yellow Jackets.     Now, all the mom asked for was a headband.  BUT, I had the cutest bumblebee ribbon and couldn’t resist adding a bow and pony streamer for her girls.    Yes, bumblebees are NOT yellow

A Morning in Over-the-Rhine

A few weeks ago my dad was in town for a long weekend.  Saturday morning’s weather was perfect for a trip downtown.  We decided to explore the City Flea and the “new” Washington Park.  When we discovered my dad had never been to Findlay Market, that was added to our list of stops before we

Another Trader Joe’s Post

You may have read about my other Trader Joe’s favorites HERE.   Last week I tried the Mushroom Risotto from the frozen section. It was edible, but I had a few bites and then tossed it. You have to really LOVE that mushroom taste. I imagined it was like eating Cream of Mushroom soup plain…

Kindergarten Parents of the YEAR!

The second day of school Stella came home talking about art and Matisse.  Her kindergarten teacher was teaching them about lines and dots.  The very next morning Andy and I remembered that we had a Matisse board book given to us by friends.  So we did a quick search, found it and asked Stella if
