We haven’t been in a regular habit of posting on the blog since we moved to Washington, DC. But changes are coming! I asked Chris to update the look of the blog and he doesn’t mind that I sketch out
Milka Oreo chocolate bar
Oh my goodness – two of my favorite things in one candy bar! Milka chocolate is something I first tried in Austria and I fell in love with the taste. It is a Swiss German chocolate and it is even better
Flamingo Table Linens
I love The Company Store. I learned about them years ago from my sorority sisters. Roommates in the sorority house planned matching bedding and room decorations and they usually ordered their bedding
Poodles in the Chasing Fireflies Catalog
My friend Jen gets a catalog from Chasing Fireflies. I hadn’t heard of this clothing before but they have the cutest dresses and suits for little girls and little boys! Everything is so adorable! The
Bipolar House
Check out this house we found in Virginia – I told Chris it was a bipolar house!
It looks pretty much like every other home built in 1956 in Virginia:
But then you look at the addition on the
Inflatable Poodle Toy
I love all things Poodle! I tend to find the most random Poodle objects on the internet. The latest find is this inflatable Poodle toy at Neiman Marcus. It would be a cute decoration in a child’s bedroom
Melania Trump’s Inauguration Gown
I am SO excited to see what soon to be First Lady Melania Trump picks for her inauguration gown. And will she have more than one gown? There is the Big Apple Ball and two other balls that the Trumps
My Inauguration Gown
This is my 2017 Inauguration Gown! Well, it is the one I would pick if I was invited to the Big Apple Ball. So far, I haven’t heard from President Elect Trump or soon to be First Lady Melania. But they
DC preppy vs. FL casual
Living in Georgetown is so much fun for people watching! Most people here dress very well – all the time. It is fun to see the trends and the classics. Washington DC does tend to lean towards classic
Inauguration Practice 2016
It is so much fun to be living in Washington, DC with an inauguration happening in just a few days. There are “58th Presidential Inauguration No Parking” signs all around town and it makes me smile!
James went to the Ophthalmologist
James went to the Ophthalmologist. No, he doesn’t need glasses! But we think he still looks pretty cute in this pair of reading glasses!
James tends to have a bit of a drippy eye from time to
Carrie Underwood – Golden Globes 2017
I LOVE the Iris Serban dress Carrie Underwood wore to the Golden Globes this year! I am actually surprised that so many entertainment critics didn’t like it. I thought it was really pretty and looked
How to Stop Spam in 5 minutes
For years now I have spent an enormous amount of time on my phone deleting email. It’s a huge waste of my time and after trying to find a way to stop using email entirely I finally decided to just solve
The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer
I had what I thought was a good hair dryer (a BaByliss Pro). I used it for 8 years but when we moved into a 100+ year old house in Georgetown it kept blowing our circuit breaker and I could only use it
Winter Wedding Dresses
Our wedding anniversary is coming up next month. We got married in December, but since it was in Florida I wore a strapless dress. Strapless was definitely the style back then and it still is a very
Zombie Poodle Dishes from Calamityware
I love all things “Poodle” so when I saw these Zombie Poodle dishes from Calamityware I had to post about them!

Arnold Palmer lemonade tea drink
Arnold Palmer.
I was sad to hear Arnold Palmer passed away back in September. Before he passed away, I had pre-ordered his recent memoir on Amazon and I was looking forward to hearing more fascinating
Living in Washington, DC during a presidential election
Wow, this week has been interesting in Washington, DC. Tuesday was a long night for everyone. I tried to stay up to see the results. I originally decided to go to bed around 11pm. But then I couldn’t
Washing Makeup Brushes
I have always bounced around on what I use to wash my makeup brushes. I sometimes feel like I’ve tried them all! I’ve tried hand soap and baby shampoo. And the first “fancy†brush shampoo I
Potato Sack Wool Skirt
I love walking past the store windows in Georgetown. I like seeing what is coming up in fashion and the current trends. I like the clothing Brooks Brothers sells. It is classic and traditional and preppy.
