You know what they say about never forgetting how to ride a bike? It’s a lie. I used to ride my bike everywhere I went. Once I got to high school and learned to drive, my bike sat in my parent’s garage and collected dust. Recently (10 years later) I rode it again, and I am [...]
I read a lot of blogs, but one of my favorites is Smitten Kitchen. Every time Deb posts a new recipe I can barely keep myself from drooling on my keyboard. What I wouldn’t give to lick the bowl! Isn’t her photography stunning? Top left: grilled eggplant and olive pizza Top right: chocolate yogurt snack [...]

I love eyeballing sweet graphic design. It gives me a strange sensation in the pit of my stomach though—a sick feeling mixed with admiration—because I love it, but I wish I had created it! The Helios Design Labs website is one of my favorite places to peruse. Their work is an explosion of awesomeness.
I love love love fall colors, especially reds and browns. In fact, these are the colors of our living room.

I tried to follow a few tutorials I found online, but some things [...]
