We were really there for my husband… to help him find a day hiking backup at Ramsey Outdoor in Succasunna, New Jersey. It’s one of those times when you find something special for yourself too ;). Fairly often I find myself slightly dehydrated and fatigued on longer hikes despite bringing along a bottle of water. …
Project Life Planning
In the past two years I began delving into Project Life and all it has to offer. It is the very clever invention of Betsy Higgins. BTW, her website is a wealth of crafting tips! Like many crafters Project Life appeals to, I love documenting my experiences and treasured memories but don’t always work well …
Hummingbird Care
It’s been my pleasure to be our hummingbirds’ (Scout, Honey, Tibolt, Lili, +?) temporary guardian until their return to the South. I like to believe that Westchester NY is home and the Carolinas, Florida, or Mexico are their version of a holiday ;) This year I began putting out feeders in the beginning of June …
Hummingbird Care: Ant Guards
I’m posting this segment slightly out of order but my take on hummingbird care is soon to follow. I have fortunately not needed this form of ant guard due to the type of nectar feeder I’ve been using. I do however use Aspects 384 Nectar Guard Tips, pictured last below, over the individual feeding ports …
The Amazing MacJournal
Granted that this post is quite a deviation from my usual, I promise it to be well worth it… I had taken a journaling course fairly recently and though I love paper products and writing into a tangible journal (whether homemade or not), I figured that a digital journal for Apple users would suit my …
Life-Savers: Bookends for Heavy Duty Standards
My husband found these bookends online for me. They are a real gem of a find too because I was using regular metal bookends (which can be purchased at Staples, etc.) for my shelving. Honestly they didn’t work out too well due to the large number of binders I keep and were also less appealing …
La Fiorentina Fashion Phones
For Christmas I received a cute and useful pair of black earmuffs + headphones from my husband’s family. I really like them =)! Not only do they keep my ears warm, they also allow me to listen to my favorite songs on-the-go. The description states they are compatible with any standard 3.5mm jack socket. They …
Round A Belt
While walking around The Container Store one Saturday, I lifted my gaze and spotted the perfect belt organizer to suit my needs. It was the Round A Belt organizer by Evriholder Products LLC. I wish I had known about this holder years ago! I normally wear belts to adjust my jeans but over the years …
Organization Tip: Honey Can Do…
Just a short post regarding an affordable space saver which has worked wonders for me… I like Honey Can Do and have been using various products by this brand for over a year now. One of my favorites is the Over-the-Door Folding Hanger Holder in chrome. I live in a small abode where space can …
A Beach Cottage Getaway…
Lately I’ve been under a lot of stress from a family project I took on and feel that I had emotionally missed a good part of the summer with all the chaos and bustle. Even earlier (during the last part of 2011) and before the onset of this project, I had found inspiration in shells …
