Just Beachy
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Random Musings
I’ve been finding some serious beach inspired decorating tips/blogs lately. I’m loving all of the white washed furniture, slipcovers and seashells. I just had to share: A Beach Cottage-look at her great living room! The Lettered Cottage (you all probably know about Layla but I couldn’t pass her up! The Shabby Chic Cottage Twice Remembered [...]

Making a List
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Random Musings
We all know how I love making a good list. Well, Matt has jumped on the bandwagon too! Before we left for California for our apartment hunting trip (see what we found here) Matt made quite the detailed checklist of wants and needs for our new place. I was naively confident that we definitely, absolutely, [...]

The thrill of the post
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Random Musings
As a thrifty gal I’ve used Craig’s List to find cute decorating stuff for around the house. Remember the lamps? I love the whole aspect of Craig’s List-the hunt and beating all of the other buyers to the great deal. My treasures pale in comparison in some of the great things that other bloggers have [...]

Make it Work
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Random Musings
Like Tim Gunn said, sometimes you just need to make it work. Space is at a premium in our kitchen. We had a serious problem with koozies taking over every nook and cranny in our kitchen. They were in drawers, cabinets and the pantry. We sort of collect them. Unintentionally, of course. We usually pick [...]

Blog Love
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Random Musings

So here you are, in no particular order-my daily blog reads. Bigger, Better, Best: Alexson is hilarious. She will tell [...]

Color Me Happy
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Happy Homemakers, Random Musings
I’m sure you’ve seen the color career test floating around. I’ve seen it at How About Orange and Young House Love. Matt and I gave it a shot. I was always a sucker for those tests in school where they tally up you answers and tell you what you should be when you grow up. [...]

Just Because
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Craftiness, Random Musings
Those are the gifts we’ve always gotten from our Grandma when she would visit us. “Just Because Gifts” have included everything from the free gift sets from Clinique, new polos, or other fun trinkets she’s found for us since she’s last visited. This year I got the mother of all Just Because Gifts. Behold people. [...]
Merry Christmas
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Random Musings
Since all of the cards have been sent out, I thought I’d show you our Christmas card. We’ve used the same Etsy shop, Thirty One Designs for the past two years. She is fabulous! It’s a flat fee for the design and you can print your cards at your preferred printer. It’s really easy [...]
Snow Day!

They’re not just for kids anymore. We’re currently snowed in, and the Today Show even made it over to check us out! So, what to do with 2 unexpected days off from work? Board games, cookies and drinking of course! My brother, sister, Matt and I have had an exciting 36 hours. We have made: [...]
