We’re folks who operate on our own timetable. That means we DVR nearly everything and catch up on our favorite shows when we have time. So last night we finally sat down to watch Sunday’s premiere of Undercover Boss. Wow! Fantastic reality show – for now anyway. Until it gets old and tired (like The […]

Do You Know What I Mean?
Have you ever gone through a period of time (maybe short, maybe long) where you felt like this? I have!! Then at some point you wake up and wonder why you’ve accepted Worm Status for so long. (Plus your friends wonder why you keep posting “I am a worm” on your Facebook status updates!) So […]
*Gasp!!!*
That’s just me, coming up for air, from what has been an entirely too busy and too drama-filled week. Because I’ve been (overly) busy, I’ve not had time to do any fun projects around the house or cook much of anything. We’re living on creative leftovers and pizza. I am so ashamed. In a week […]
Attitude of Gratitude: Best of the Best Edition
You know, there are just certain things in life that cause unwanted stress. Things like car repairs, house repairs and body repairs. Anyone can find the best place to buy electronics. Or an excellent sushi restaurant. But the thought of shelling out (potentially) lots of money on something that matters a great deal, well, that’s […]
Crafting Bonanza!
An awesome part about working at an architectural firm? Being able to salvage project samples before they get chucked out to use in future Hayley Home craft projects!!!
Pardon Me
I have a friend who’s a sucker for frogs. She has nearly every tchotchke imaginable with a frog on it. While I don’t share her Frog Fondness, I am a sucker for motivational books. I’m always looking for a book that reminds me of basic life principles that I already know, but somehow forgot. At […]
The Search is Over
Over decade ago, The Youngest came to Dallas to help me prepare various bits and pieces for the Hayley Wedding. It wasn’t long before we embarked on The Great Search for the perfect rosettes to make birdseed bags. We thought it would be simple to find the size and color we needed. HAH! A not-so-small […]
Mmmm-Hmmmm #2
I’m not usually one to make snarky posts, but today I couldn’t help it. Spotted in the office breakroom: Encouraging thoughtfulness? Helpfulness? Yes. And yes. But also ironic. Why? You ask? Because the creator of the sign (not me…no really, not me) is also the same person that poured out a newly-brewed full pot of […]
Mmmm-Hmmmm
Spotted at a big box retailer: Two thoughts immediately come to mind: You can’t tell me that there aren’t jobs available for anyone who wants/needs one I know lots of people who meet this job requirement!
Thinking Deep Thoughts
Since I have nothing better to do because of my Bum Leg (as in, I’m Bummed that my leg hurts!!), I’m filling my time pondering Deep Thoughts. I follow Seth Godin’s blog. He’s a marketing genius, delivering a fresh perspective to my inbox every day. Over the weekend, he addressed the rise of incivility in […]
