As I look around my house, I realize I’ve got a lot of “stuff” and that this “stuff”, if I let it, could get out of hand and begin to look like a cluttered mess. Photo Source: Creating This Life via Pinterest Like the quote above, I realize that I need to be the Miranda Priestly (from The Devil Wears Prada) of my home and question everything that I want to bring into it. I want to live a simple life, but there is just so much stuff out there that I want. Last year, I wrote a blog post […]

Talk about magazine overload! 1. GLAMOUR Can I just say that I have a crush on Sandra Bullock? Surely I’m not alone, right? She “sped” into our hearts and “while you were sleeping”, gave a “two week notice” that she was all about “the proposal.” And while “hope floats”, she charmed us and won “Miss Congeniality.” Then for “28 days”, she tried to figure out the “divine secrets […]
