I feel like school keeps starting earlier and earlier for the kids these days. I remember always starting school after Labor Day, but here we are talking about back to school gear in early August.

Amazon Home Decor Finds

I was chatting with a girlfriend the other day who walked into a fancy home store in Bellevue and said the decor pieces were like $700 for a knot that sits on tops of your coffee table books, which were also hundreds of dollars. For some, this is chump change but even if I had all the money in the world I wouldn’t spend that kind of money on a decor piece that you can easily replicate with Amazon … [Read more...]

Recent Summer Reads

I’ve been reading a lot of good summer/beachy type books lately and I thought I would round them all up for you to add to your reading list.

You do have a 21 day limit to borrow the book, so sometimes I’m stressing to finish the book in … [Read more...]
