Last Saturday night we had dinner at our friends, Paul and Lindsay’s house.  Paul and my friendship dates back to the University of Idaho Computer Science Department where he and I and two other friends worked on a lot of our projects together. With the Hunger Games movie coming out this past weekend, pre-dinner conversation [...]

Mismatched Socks and a Caution When Shopping at Zulily

If I didn’t see Eloise pull off her socks every possible moment, I would really wonder how it was possible to have so many mismatched pink socks. Yesterday I saw a cupcake carrying contraption on zulily for $19.99.  I have been in the market for a way to transport desserts, specifically cupcakes for months so [...]

Pedicures Con Sparkles

Every couple of weeks Belén and I have spa night. Ever since we went shopping at Sephora to pick out some new nail polish, spa night includes a coat of sparkles. It’s great because I am saving time and money that I used to give to someone else to paint my toenails and Belén hasn’t [...]

Plain Clothes with Statement Accessories

I don’t have a lot of bad habits but I have developed one.  Sometimes when I am really busy and have a lot of things going on, especially on a weekend, rather than tackle an item on my to do list, I start online shopping and will blow an entire hour and then not even [...]
