work-work-work-eat-sleep … repeat

The last several weeks I have been really feeling the creativity bug. Maybe it is a result of being cooped up so long for winter. I do love my apartment but you can only spend so much time playing Wii fit and watching Legends of the Seeker. Or maybe it is that I am...

Reasons why…

  {credit} Dear Murray, I have compiled a list of 10 reasons why you should let me buy the fancy new camera I want … Please read and consider carefully before making any decision. Reason 10: Because I have already saved money. I saved quite a bit purchasing this...

Le Creuset

I am excited to report that Mur and I are now the proud owners of this bad boy: Yep – we splurged on this guy a few weekends ago and are so excited to start using it. We compromised and if Mur could get the orange Le Creuset pot, I can get the pear colored kitchen aid...

Vegas

… and I’m off. Work is sending me to Vegas and really, I can’t complain. There is a lot to be done at home but… it’s VEGAS! {credit} I’ll be back to regularly-un regular posting next weekend.

a bit of inspiration

As a sequel to my ‘love love loving’ post, similar to how Home Alone 3 was a sequel to Home Alone 1 and 2 (it shared roughly the same concept. That’s it. No Culkin to be found), I wanted to come up with several things that are artistically inspirational. I see this...

Love love loving

I need something fun on here because I feel like that has been lacking. Honestly, posts all together have been what’s lacking. I thought this would be a neato way to bring things back! I decided to create a list of the top 10 things I am really loving right now. From...

Vinaigrette

I love to cook! And in addition to loving to cook, I love taking pictures! “But how are they related?” you ask. Good question! There is a fantastic store in town here called Vinaigrette which specializes in olive oils and vinegars from all over the world. There are...

cutie pie

I never get sick of taking pictures of this little guy! I figured new lil Barrett photos would be a nice way to break back into the blogging world after my long absence. These photos were taken over New Years weekend which marked the 1 year anniversary to my first...
