The haul away: What you don’t see here was one of the dumbest things I’ve done in a very long time. Also known as: the day I accidentally gave away my boyfriend’s scooter. Yep. I posted to Craigslist that I had pulled out some gardening and lawn...

I love me a good project — especially those that require problem solving, frugality, creativity, organization techniques and provide a place for my copious energy. Bird is away this week at a fancy conference in California. In lieu of joining him, I spent the...

My friend Brian turned 40 this week. In turn, we had a bit of a fiesta in his honor this weekend at the Heirloom Homestead: That cake was awful. I made his very favorite birthday cake, including a frosting that started with a roux. And he LOVED it. ~K...

There are certainly days it is harder to see the glass half full. Days I’m moving, ever more so. That said, how lucky am I to have a brother and best friend willing to pitch in? A house full of new (to me) furniture to arrange? A guest room ready for friends? A...

A blogger friend once told me, “The asymmetrical bob is like a Coach bag. Every girl wants one until she has it.” Well. For the record — I like both. Thanks Noelle! ~K P.S. Uh, hello. GORGEOUS. ...
