Back to Town May 11, 2012 No Comments

Guys, the concert was superb. The perfect mix of old, new and some freestyle in the mix. We were too busy enjoying Pizza Luce before the show started to push our way to the front, but I was quite comfortable in the back and my height, once again, came in handy. I’m waiting for the [...]

Almost There May 4, 2012 No Comments

Thanks for bearing with me this week, guys. It’s been a tough couple of days for numerous reasons but things are on the up and up and it’s Friday afternoon! Do you have anything fun planned the next couple of days? It’s Derby weekend and Cinco de Mayo so I’m sure there will be no [...]

See it coming April 30, 2012 No Comments

This week is going to test me, I can feel it. Lots to do, too little time and an insane list of house to-do’s (number of boxes packed/sorted so far: 0). I’ll do my best to check in over the course of the week but if I’m not around, just know I’m thinking of you, [...]

Privet House for Target 6 Comments

A large box arrived at my door the other day (first thought: YES! I can use that to pack stuff!) and it was filled with sneak peek items from the new Privet House collection for Target. I’m sure you’ve heard by now and have seen the commercials, but Target is going to feature four small [...]

Blah Thursday April 26, 2012 1 Comment

The last couple weeks have seen a recurring pattern in my life. I start off with tons of pep on Monday, blast my way through Tuesday checking items off my to-do list, conquer Wednesday and then crash on Thursday. Then the last two days of the week crawl by at a glacial speed (like this) [...]

Biggest Project Yet April 23, 2012 4 Comments

I’ve been meaning to share some incredibly exciting news that I alluded to here weeks ago: The Red Head and I bought a house! (That’s not it above, so please don’t run around the Twin Cities area knocking on every house numbered 812… you will not find me. And I will be creeped out.) In [...]

Weekend Mode April 20, 2012 No Comments

My mind has been in weekend mode all day and it’s about time the clock caught up. I’m checking out for the weekend, heading to see a band play with friends and hoping to make some major dents in big projects over the next couple of days. Wish me luck and have a great weekend! [...]

What the? April 16, 2012 No Comments

My ‘slight cold’ has upped its game overnight and, it seems, the weather took note and decided to act accordingly. Enter: snow. It’s starting to feel like those warm days of weeks ago were just a dream! So for now, it’s tights, boots and lots of Kleenex. Source: Peter Culoe on Flickr

We Have Arrived April 13, 2012 No Comments

I just checked the weather and it seems some thunderstorms have worked their way onto the radar, so the scene above probably won’t be happening this weekend. That’s alright, though. I’ve got a couple of open days ahead, my next ice cream recipe on my mind and The Bee Cottage is open. Sound like a [...]

Jump Ahead April 12, 2012 1 Comment

Today has been a good day, but I wouldn’t mind if we quickly jumped ahead 24 hours and it was magically Friday night. I wouldn’t mind at all… Source: Sarah Maxey “Oh My Darling” print
