Grace. Etc.

First of all, you people love you some instructional videos. I feel like linen closets near and far are being transformed. Brings a tear to my organizational eye to hear so many of you making strides in folding areas of your life. I salute you, new members of the fold. [Literally.] I’m so stinkin’ glad

How to fold a fitted sheet.

Well, here you go. A few things: 1. Thank you to Lyndsay and Lauren for coming over at midnight to help film this. 2. I actually managed to do 3 things from my list in this video: a. fold a fitted sheet b. make myself laugh [normal- happens all the time] c. make my friends

I’m so irresolute.

No New Year’s Resolutions for me. Not a one. I can’t do it this year. I couldn’t recap 2009. And now I can’t pressure 2010. I’m gonna shoot you straight, blogmie. I’m a failure.

We heart the bird.

It seems we are all in agreement. This sweet little bird is more than just a graphic on a header. He is a mascot. A symbol. Dare I say…. a best friend? Maybe. But I don’t like to rush these things. I did go ahead and frame a picture for my bedside table. But like

Invictus.

As many of you know, I got to go to Cape Town, South Africa in May with the Mocha Club. It was an awesome trip. When I got home, I would have told you that I am glad I went but it didn’t really change me. Here’s the funny thing. It seems that about once a month

A public letter to Colorado.

Dear Colorado, Let me start by saying what I big fan I am. You really are a great state. I mean, we haven’t hung out since 1996, but it was really nice to meet you and I hope I get to see you again soon. But here’s the thing. I’m disappointed in some of your

I am classy. And understated.

In my holiday greetings. Merry Christmas, y’all. The only birthday I like more than my own? The birthday of Jesus. See you next week. Much love.

Merry Click-mas.

That’s not disrespectful to the baby Jesus. I just have some links for you, and thinking you might enjoy a little play on words, I went for it. Forgive me if you are offended. First of all, today is my day to post over at (in)courage. And, because I tackle the deep and moving topics,
