...how you overwhelm me. I can't keep up and I need a better system. Do you do laundry every day? Are you keeping up? How do you do it?? I think I would be a lot more motivated to do laundry if my utility room looked like this or this or this instead of like Gollum's natural habitat (a terrifying place, our basement). I have a friend who lived in Manhattan for a spell and she sent out her clothes to a laundry service regularly. "What about your underwear??!" I asked, scandalized. She shrugged ... Read more
A slightly tropical granola
You know I love me some sweets, and if I were stranded on an island and could have only one type of food, it would be breakfast treats.

I was feeling a bit blue and under the weather, as it happens in life sometimes, and I wanted to ... Read more
You and Mie Guest Post + Outfits
Friends, technical problems abound, and I'm so sorry if you've been having trouble accessing this blog. My server is not completely dead but is definitely on its deathbed and very unstable. For the time being, it's up again...but may go down again any minute. Anyway, I am loving all the blog recommendations from yesterday! I'm familiar with a few but so many are new to me and I've been adding them to my reader like crazy! Thank you! [Update: I lost many of the comments and we are in the ... Read more
