Sassy Librarians Unite
I first worked in a library when I was in junior high. Volunteering at my school library led to a high school job at our local Carnegie Library. When I moved to Dayton, I ended up working in the Archives and behind the circulation desk at my university’s library. I also spent time working for…

Sweater Lust
I spend downtime on Polyvore and Pinterest. Not that I have copious amounts of downtime, but those two places easily fit into a few minutes of downtime here and there. Apparently, as the weather turns cooler, my lust for sweaters increases. This year, it’s not just any sweater either. I seem to be drawn to…

Sneak Peek at Fall Photos
Our holiday cards usually contain a photo of our family. Sometimes, it contains several. I love receiving cards from friends and seeing their kids, their pets, their new haircuts, etc. I’m especially fond of the photos taken outdoors. Because the colors of fall make it my favorite season, my family opts to have our favorite…

Paring Down — The Push to Simplify
You can’t swing a cat or cast a glance without running into someone singing the praises of simplifying. Simplify your routine, your diet, your workout regimen, your travel wardrobe, your social network, your to-do list, your life–you name it, you should be simplifying it. In other words, K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple, Stupid. I’m all for…

Fall Fashion Finally
Plenty of people I know prefer the fun and flirty fashion of summer. For me? I love the patterns, textures and palette of fall. Hands down fall is my favorite season and my favorite section in my closet. I am totally in love with the shape of the Mary bag from Grace Adele. I own…

If It’s Free, It’s For Me!
Even though I’m of the mindset that very few things in life are ever actually free, I do love a good deal where “free” is part of the bargain. One of the very first Scentsy products I ever purchased, Ollie the Elephant made my daughter’s birthday in 2010. A fun stuffed animal who could hold…

Feeling the Fall
I’m not sure if it’s because the temperature was 38 degrees this morning when I opened the garage door or because my daughter is already discussing her Halloween costume, but I’m already looking ahead to official fall. College football ushers it in for me and then, it’s all fall, all the time. I never used…

Taking September to Another Level
I love to write and truly dig blogging. If you don’t hear from me for periods spanning days and then weeks, you know that life must be stepping up the pace! Aside from the usual work of the first full month of the semester, my husband was out-of-town for a week, we traveled for my…

Ohio Hurricane
We met Isaac on the way home from our hometown today. I wish I had my fancy camera and that we weren’t driving down the road, but I did catch some interesting shots on my less-than-stellar Droid camera phone. This cloud formation made for some nervous conversation in the vehicle. The color of the sky…

Coveting Denim
I lament ever parting with my denim jacket. Realistically, I probably would no longer be able to properly wear the one I used to own. Two kids did a little something to my slight torso after all. But, it’s the principle of the thing. Currently, I’m coveting an Old Navy denim jacket that I’ve seen…
