I Yam What I Yam! There I go quoting Popeye again. Actually, that’s a first for me. I admire Popeye’s self-acceptance. I wish I was more like Popeye. I do love spinach! If I ever thought that competition, comparison & feelings of inadequacy would end as I got older, I have long since been disappointed. … More Words on Wednesday – I Yam What I Yam

I’m starting several new series here on Be Your Own Adventure. One of them is Make it Monday. Whether it’s a DIY project I find on Pinterest or something creative I come up with myself, I’ll be sharing a few of the things that I am up to lately. Of course, with Christmas only 10 … More Make It Monday – Mason Jar Sewing Kit
As the weather cools, my desire to actually cook is re-emerging. It’s nice. I feel healthier in the Fall & Winter as I tend to take more care in cooking. I made two recipes recently that I found on Pinterest. My love of Pinterest is well-documented. I even got my Mom hooked up to Pinterest last … More For the Love of the Foods of Fall
Sorry for the long radio silence. I’m in the process of rethinking some things with my blog & will start blogging again soon.
It’s one of my greatest desires that my children are inspired to create. I am a firm believer that everyone is creative – it may not be artistically, but everyone is a creative being. So I love it when my boys make stuff – whether it’s a tower made out of Legos, a chalk drawing, a … More Create!
So I really haven’t posted many outfit pics this summer. I’ve pretty much worn shorts & a t-shirt most days. It is what it is. I just don’t have a lot of inspiration when it’s very warm. Maybe that will change, maybe it won’t. I don’t want to abandon my love of fashion just because … More Summer Uniform
It’s Everybody, Everywear time again. This month’s theme is Pattern Mixing. I love the idea of pattern mixing, but I don’t do it much. I tend to think that I don’t have many patterns to mix, but I have more than I thought. I’ve been watching Mad Men lately since it’s streaming on Netflix. While … More Pattern Recognition
Week 9! I have completed the Couch to 5K Program! What?! On my 3rd try I made it through. It was actually a very challenging week. Physically it was hard work. The first run was ok, but the second run felt like I never got that second wind that I love so much. Incidentally, I … More Couch to 5K – Week 9
So I didn’t buy anything from May 3rd – August 3rd that wasn’t a household necessity or something for my son’s birthday party. It was both tougher than I thought it would be & easier! I have often used shopping as therapy, as a drug. I’m a penny-pinching addict, but an addict nonetheless. So I … More More Thankful Than Ever
