Since Memorial Day has come and gone and you know what that means…Summer Time! This is my favorite time of year, I could seriously skip through the streets throwing daisies the day it hits 75 degrees. It definitely doesn’t hurt living next to the beach to add to my gleeful mood. With my favorite season [...]

Matt is big in to maps. Loves them. When I asked if he wanted anything from the flea market he requested a globe. He could spend hours on Google Earth. Just for fun. It’s not my idea of a good time but different strokes for different folks I guess! Knowing that my main man loves [...]

Oh lordy. This weekend we had yet another experience that made me feel equal parts uncool and country bumpkin. While all of our pals were out probsting biers at the local Oktoberfest we attended the annual Glow Festival at the Santa Monica beach.
The festival was described as “an all-night cultural experience featuring original [...]

I had to make a blazing run to Ikea last weekend. I was in and out of the store in an hour (I’m still amazed). This time I actually had a legit reason to make the trek to the glorious land that is Ikea. While wrestling my freshly cleaned slipcovers back on to the couch [...]

Home Sweet Iowa
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Happy Homemakers, Random Musings
Last weekend I took a mini-vacation back to our home state. I missed my peeps and well, I really needed to support my team as they took on the Cyclones. Lulu was very sad she didn’t get to go this time. She packed her bag and everything.
Delicious Pork on a stick. Oh, Iowa, I have [...]

Hawkeye Country

This Saturday we welcomed college football back with open arms. Specifically, Hawkeye football. We’re both big Hawkeye fans and were a little nervous moving so far away from our favorite sports bar. We won’t miss the cold Iowa tailgating weather though!
Luckily, the University Alumnae Club is serious about rounding up Hawks living in LA.We had [...]
