Monday is Labor Day, and if you’re like me, then you’re off from work and getting ready to get your grill on! My husband and I are hosting my mom and two of our three nieces. We may have some leftovers for mom to take back to my dad and my gramma Howard, but steak is on the menu and my family loves their steak! Hopefully you have a Labor Day party to go to, but if not, then here are some quick and fabulous ideas for you to put together your own Labor Day celebration! Marinated steak is tops […]
Pin-spiration: Living Room Spaces
Several months ago, my husband and I moved from the large one room studio apartment above his grandmother’s garage and moved into the big house.

So when I found this little list of “5 Things to Remind Yourself Daily” on Pinterest, via LifeHack, I wanted to share it with everyone. These daily reminders remind me of other life affirmations. Does anyone remember Al Franken’s character, Stuart Smalley, on SNL. Stuart would look into a mirror and say, “I am good enough, I am smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.” And let us not forget the wonderful reminder from Viola Davis’ […]

This is probably why I have seen The Internship, featuring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, a dozen or so times on HBO recently. Photo Source: IMDb These two lovable guys play traveling watch salesmen who lose their jobs and essentially have to start over. Vince Vaughn’s character, Billy, is a dreamer and is the one who gets the ball rolling on their internship at Google. Photo Source: Pinterest I love the spirit in which these two […]
