  • Let There be Bright

    TGIM! Thank goodness its March. Someone needs to tell Mother Nature that it is in fact March, and that the 14 degree weather I’m currently enduring is not March-appropriate. Until the daffodils burst forth with all their spring brilliance, here is a room that I just love for it’s neutral backdrop with bright bursts of…

  • Connecticut Eye Candy

    I recently stumbled on this gorgeous home by Roger Bartels Architects. If you live in Norwalk Connecticut and are a millionaire, you really should give these guys a call, as they obviously know how to build a house. 🙂 Hope this adds some beauty to your Monday morning.

  • The Surpassing Greatness

    This is the second Lenten season that I am making a sacrifice in my everyday life-the “giving up” that you commonly hear about this time of year. I wasn’t raised in a church that participated in this tradition, it was something I came to on my own last year after some amount of prayer and…

  • And it was good.

    We had a WONDERFUL time in Charleston! I had been to Charleston twice before, but never for more than an afternoon, and I’ve always wanted to explore the city. We took a taxi from the airport straight to our hotel in the historic district-“on the battery.” No need to rent a car, we walked everywhere.…

  • Getaway

    We are not avid vacations. I am a homebody. Mr. Marvelous is a saver. Combined together, most weekends of our six years of marriage have found us content at home-me trying to find the perfect place for my latest Pottery Barn purchase and Mr. Marvelous reviewing our checking account online questioning “you spent how much…

  • Image for the Day

    I took this picture last Friday while on vacation with Mr. Marvelous in Charleston, South Carolina. I have lots of good pictures and stories to share from our trip, so stayed tuned, but in the meantime I wanted to share another picture that made me think of the beautiful renewing energy of spring. Blessings to…

  • When the Storm has Swept by

    Several years ago a vicious spring storm tore through our area. It was April and my garden had just begun to bloom after a long and cold winter. After the storm, we walked our yard to survey the damage and I found my tulips strewn haphazardly across the front yard. I cried. I did. It…

  • Well that was funny!

    I read a lovely little blog called Small Notebook: Notes and Encouragement for a Simple and Peaceful Home. Today’s post on Small Notebook provided a useful list of household tools every homeowner should have on hand. Number One on the list was laugh-out-loud funny. 1. Plunger. One time my neighbor borrowed my plunger. I must…

  • Why so Blue?

    I think this shade of blue is the cat’s meow. But I am somewhat intimidated to try to recreate this color in my own home. You see, for me, blue is a hard paint color to choose-it always looks many shades darker on the wall than on the paint chip. When choosing the blue for…
