Got a jug of bleach and a desire to creatively destroy everything you own? LET'S CRAFT! I started to feel minimally bad that we haven't really done much this summer, but to be fair, I did just teach three kids a whole ass trimester of school, so I feel like we all just needed to [...]
I went to a conference in Palm Springs a few years ago, and each attendee was gifted a surprise package from a woman they hired who called herself The Wantist. This woman, unbeknownst to each of us, had scoured our social media platforms, and photo albums, and purchased us each a personal gift. I walked [...]
Nothing adds a bit of pizzazz like some flashy marquee letters. Unfortunately, while Etsy offers oodles of them, they are largely out of my price range, and by my price range, I mean the amount Andy will confidently agree that I should spend on light up letters for a 4 day event.

It actually wasn't the only thing I purchased that day. I also left with a headboard [...]
For years I have been begging Andy to do a couples Halloween costume. He finally relented our sophomore year of college; we were to be Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson. I had the best blonde wig and push up bra, and Andy had spent a whole 6 hours growing a thick black mustache. It was [...]

Where have I been? Oh you know, making furniture. Like Jesus. So, as you may remember, I've been a bit of a garage sale whore lately, hunting down some great wood pieces to refinish and introduce into my home in a way that says, hi, I'm super eclectic and artsy. Like if Zoe Dechanel and [...]
I feel like my personalities change with the seasons. Like, in the spring, Andy knows it's time for Self-Reflective Brittany who wants to do things like try out a new religion or host an exchange student.
