Day 6 | What to Get… A DIYer So they usually make their gifts, and make everything else in their house. And they show it off to the world via their super-hip Instagram account, so you definitely know they’re not going to love the scrapbook of movie theatre tickets you were thinking about… Or the scarf. Meh. Instead, … Continue reading
Well, it’s not everyday that your “date night” includes anything other than dinner and a movie. If it’s winter, and you’re not pregnant, you could probably throw in ice skating, but otherwise, unless you’re willing to get really creative, buttered popcorn is about where it stops. (I am absolutely not complaining – I freaking love … Continue reading
Ok, I mean, really laugh at. At first, I was bummed to spend the new-dress money on a movie that wouldn’t be on the Oscar ballot, but as an uncomfortable pregnant lady, anything done in a recliner with popcorn resting on your belly is worth considering. Thus, we bought our reserved seats for Horrible Bosses … Continue reading

Day 2 | What to Get… A Real Southerner On the second day of Christmas (or, in this case, on the 9th of December), you may find yourself shopping for a man’s man. Or, perhaps, a hands-on handy him or her with an affection toward all things found below the Mason Dixon Line? Someone who … Continue reading
First off, I really brainstormed a better title for my holiday fun on the Etsy site. I delegated the responsibility to my senior wordsmith (and cousin), but she left me with nothing more … so it stands as a cheesy play on words. Either way, I hope it inspires you to get a little more … Continue reading
In my old age, I’ve learned to accept a few things about myself. For one, I like to sleep. I’d choose getting to bed early with a good book over bar hopping with fun friends any night. Call me lame. I don’t like Greek Yogurt and if McDonald’s is what I want, I am not … Continue reading
In the past week, I’ve had to say the phrase, “well, that’s the night I work at the library” about three times.
