My Pants! They are Traveling!

No really. I ordered a pair. They’re getting here next week. I might be waiting by the mailbox. Right. Now. And hot tip! If you order on Amazon from Tees and Toys, they qualify for free super saver shipping. Boom goes the dynamite!

Food for Thought

It’s time for a healthy eating update! I’ve officially been on the Lose It app for a full month, and the Pajama Jeans have been ordered. I’m beyond excited. I know guys. But stay with me here. They’re pajamas. AND they’re jeans. And they’re as seen on tv, so it’s pretty much a given that [...]

Share and Share Alike: The Internet Came to My Rescue

The internet came to my rescue not once, but twice recently. It never fails to blow my mind how sometimes you can just put out to the world a small thing you need help with and boom. Good people come forward to lend a hand. Crisis 1: My pencil sharpener. I was working on a [...]

Craftcation Conference!! Who's Comin' With Me?!?

I shared the Craftcation Conference website with you guys recently as a show and tell – to date, it’s the largest, most intricate, involved website I have ever built, and I’m pretty proud of it. You want an interactive forum? Online ticketing integration? A clickable, easy to use schedule matrix that links up who’s teaching [...]

What is SOPA?

What is SOPA?

“More sopapillas please!!” That classic Cartman quote is what runs through my head just about every time I hear the news talking about SOPA. And then I started actually listening to the news talk about this issue, and um… yikes. It sounds pretty bad, people. On paper it looks great – SOPA stands for “Stop [...]

It's That Tax Time Again...

Don’t forget to file your State of California Sales Tax, guys! One major benefit to focusing on freelance graphic design last year? I only had 4 transactions that had to collect sales tax. Filing my taxes took 5 minutes! Okay, 10 minutes. It took me just a tiny bit to remember where the helpful sales tax [...]

Time for a Thrift Store Photo Extravaganza!

Josh and I found ourselves at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore thrift store in Las Cruces, New Mexico, over the holidays. I seriously can’t believe all the good stuff we saw! I’m a big-time browser, so none of this actually came home with me… I just wanted to preserve the magic and share some of it with y’all! [...]
