Posted on March 15, 2022March 13, 2022 by Sandra

The Tidal Basin is the most well known area of DC for visiting the cherry blossoms, but I like to visit cherry blossom areas that aren’t as popular (or as crowded!). In our neighborhood in Georgetown, we have a few local parks with a few beautiful cherry blossom trees. But I always like driving through…

Posted on February 9, 2022February 9, 2022 by Sandra

I was talking to some of my classmates following a hot yoga class and the subject of overly scented products came up.

Wooden Poodle Decoration

Posted on November 11, 2020November 11, 2020 by Sandra

I use Facebook for mainly what Chris calls “Poodling” where I chat with other Poodle owners about food, beds, health and more. I was Poodling one day when I saw a post from Evi Green and these adorable wooden Poodle carvings! Evi’s husband Tom whittles the Poodles and Evi paints them. As soon as I…

Fall in Ohio

Posted on November 9, 2020November 9, 2020 by Sandra

I love the beauty in changing seasons. I love that one day a tree will look one way and the next day it can look completely different. I took a bunch of photos the other day here in Ohio – everywhere we go the colors are so beautiful! This house has a LOT of pumpkins:…

Baking Away My Election Stress

Posted on November 5, 2020November 5, 2020 by Sandra

I woke up Wednesday morning after election day and realized the US still didn’t have a winner for the presidential race. I had a feeling it was going to be a long day (or week?! or month?!) and I was going to need a project to keep my mind busy. I’ve been wanting to make…

Posted on November 4, 2020November 4, 2020 by Sandra

My rainbow leopard dress matches James’ Halloween hat perfectly! So I decided to tuck up and stitch the floor length dress to make it look more like a circus ringmaster. If only I had a cane and a top hat! Happy James: What do you think of my dress? I think it is fun and…

Happy Halloween 2020

Posted on November 3, 2020November 3, 2020 by Sandra

I wasn’t going to dress James up in a costume this year for Halloween since we knew kids really weren’t going to be trick-or-treating because of Covid. But I was at Target and I saw this cute sequined hat for dogs and I had to get it for James! He wore it for a few…

Ramen Soup at Home

Posted on October 28, 2020October 28, 2020 by Sandra

I stopped at JoAnn fabric the other day (I am making some new holiday bandanas for James) and I noticed people coming out of a big store next door. It looked like an Asian supermarket – like the one we liked in Orlando. I walked over there and sure enough – it was a really…

Gummy Bears

Posted on September 14, 2020September 14, 2020 by Sandra

I love gummy bear candy! This is a fairly new thing. I’ve always been a chocolate fanatic, but in the last 5 years or so I now have a thing for gummy bears. Living in Austria and Germany probably pushed me to love them more since Haribo gummy bears originated in Germany and they are…

Charcoal Beauty Haul

Posted on August 28, 2020August 28, 2020 by Sandra

I decided to buy some charcoal beauty products and test them out. I am not sure that charcoal topically really cleanses as much as taking activated charcoal internally, but I still thought the idea was fun. My absolutely favorite item of the haul was the Briogio Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-exfoliating Scalp Scrub…
